Joseph’s Success in Egypt

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:1 -

Now Joseph H3130 had been taken H3381 down H3381 to Egypt H4714; and Potiphar H6318, an Egyptian H4713 officer H5631 of Pharaoh H6547, the captain H8269 of the bodyguard H2876, bought H7069 him [fn]from the Ishmaelites H3459, who H834 had taken H3381 him down H3381 there H8033.

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:2 - And the LORD H3068 was with Joseph H3130, so he became H1961 a [fn]successful H6743 man H376. And he was in the house H1004 of his master H113, the Egyptian H4713.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:3 - Now his master H113 saw H7200 that the LORD H3068 was with him and that the LORD H3068 made all H3605 that he did H6213 prosper H6743 in his hand H3027.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:4 - So Joseph H3130 found H4672 favor H2580 in his sight H5869 and [fn]became H8334 his personal H8334 servant H8334; and he made H6485 him overseer H6485 over H5921 his house H1004, and [fn]put H5414 him in charge H3027 of all H3605 that he owned H3426.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:5 - It came H1961 about H1961 that from the time H227 he made H6485 him overseer H6485 in his house H1004 and over H5921 all H3605 that he owned H3426, the LORD H3068 blessed H1288 the Egyptian’s H4713 house H1004 on account H1558 of Joseph H3130; so the LORD’S H3068 blessing H1293 was upon all H3605 that he owned H3426, in the house H1004 and in the field H7704.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:6 - So he left H5800 [fn]Joseph H3130 in charge H3027 of everything H3605 that he owned; and with him there he did not [fn]concern H3045 himself with anything H3972 except H3588 H518 the [fn]food H3899 which H834 he [fn]ate H398.

Now Joseph H3130 was handsome H3303 in form H8389 and appearance H4758.

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:7 - And it came H1961 about H1961 after H310 these H428 events H1697 that his master’s H113 wife H802 [fn]had H5375 her eyes H5869 on Joseph H3130, and she said H559, “Sleep H7901 with me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:8 - But he refused H3985 and said H559 to his master’s H113 wife H802, “Look H2005, with me here, my master H113 [fn]does not concern H3045 himself with anything H4100 in the house H1004, and he has [fn]put H5414 me in charge H3027 of all H3605 that he owns H3426.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:9 - [fn]There H369 is H369 no H369 one greater H1419 in this H2088 house H1004 than H4480 I, and he has withheld H2820 nothing H3808 H3972 from me except H3588 H518 you, because H834 you are his wife H802. How H349 then could I do H6213 this H2088 great H1419 evil H7451, and sin H2398 against God H430?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:10 - Though she spoke H1696 to Joseph H3130 day H3117 after day H3117, he did not listen H8085 to her to lie H7901 beside H681 her or be with her.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:11 - Now it happened H1961 [fn]one H2088 day H3117 that he went H935 into the house H1004 to do H6213 his work H4399, and none H369 H376 of the people H376 of the household H1004 was there H8033 inside H1004.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:12 - So she grabbed H8610 him by his garment H899, saying H559, “Sleep H7901 with me!” But he left H5800 his garment H899 in her hand H3027 and fled H5127, and went H3318 outside H2351.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:13 - [fn]When she saw H7200 that he had left H5800 his garment H899 in her hand H3027 and had fled H5127 outside H2351,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:14 - she called H7121 to the men H376 of her household H1004 and said H559 to them, “See H7200, he has brought H935 in H935 a [fn]Hebrew H5680 to us to make H6711 fun H6711 of us; he came H935 in H935 to me to sleep H7901 with me, and I [fn]screamed H7121 H6963 H1419.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:15 - “When he heard H8085 that I raised H7311 my voice H6963 and [fn]screamed H7121, he left H5800 his garment H899 beside H681 me and fled H5127 and went H3318 outside H2351.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:16 - So she [fn]left H5117 his garment H899 beside H681 her until H5704 his master H113 came H935 home H1004.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:17 - Then she spoke H1696 to him [fn]with these H428 [fn]words H1697: “The Hebrew H5680 slave H5650, whom H834 you brought H935 to us, came H935 in H935 to me to make H6711 fun H6711 of me;
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:18 - but when I raised H7311 my voice H6963 and [fn]screamed H7121, he left H5800 his garment H899 beside H681 me and fled H5127 outside H2351.”

Joseph Imprisoned

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:19 -

Now when his master H113 heard H8085 the words H1697 of his wife H802 which H834 she spoke H1696 to him, saying H559, “[fn]This H1697 H428 is what H1697 your slave H5650 did H6213 to me,” his anger H639 burned H2734.

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:20 - So Joseph’s H3130 master H113 took H3947 him and put H5414 him into the prison H1004 H5470, the place H4725 where H834 the king’s H4428 prisoners H615 were confined H631; and he was there H8033 in the prison H1004 H5470.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:21 - But the LORD H3068 was with Joseph H3130 and extended H5186 kindness H2617 to him, and gave H5414 him favor H2580 in the sight H5869 of the warden H8269 of the prison H1004 H5470.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:22 - And the warden H8269 of the prison H1004 H5470 [fn]put H5414 Joseph H3130 in charge H3027 of all H3605 the prisoners H615 who H834 were in the prison H1004 H5470; so that whatever H3605 H834 was done H6213 there H8033, he was [fn]responsible H6213 for it.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:23 - The warden H8269 of the prison H1004 H5470 did not supervise H7200 anything H3605 H3972 [fn]under Joseph’s authority H3027, because H834 the LORD H3068 was with him; and, the LORD H3068 made whatever H834 he did H6213 prosper H6743.
