* And it came to pass , after these things , that his master 's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph , and she said , Lay with me . * But he refused , and said to his master 's wife , Behold , my master does not know what is with me in the house , and he has put all that he has into my hand . * He is not greater in this house than I , nor has he kept back anything from me but thee , because thou are his wife . How then can I do this great wickedness , and sin against God ? * And it came to pass , as she spoke to Joseph day by day , that he did not hearken to her , to lay by her , [or ] to be with her . * And it came to pass , about this time , that he went into the house to do his work , and there was none of the men of the house there inside . * And she caught him by his garment , saying , Lay with me . And he left his garment in her hand , and fled , and got out . * And it came to pass , when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand , and was fled forth , * that she called to the men of her house , and spoke to them , saying , See , he has brought in a Hebrew to us to mock us . He came in to me to lay with me , and I cried with a loud voice . * And it came to pass , when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried , that he left his garment by me , and fled , and got out . * And she laid up his garment by her until his master came home . * And she spoke to him according to these words , saying , The Hebrew servant , whom thou have brought to us , came in to me to mock me . * And it came to pass , as I lifted up my voice and cried , that he left his garment by me , and fled out . * And it came to pass , when his master heard the words of his wife , which she spoke to him , saying , After this manner did thy servant to me , that his wrath was kindled . * And Joseph 's master took him , and put him into the prison , the place where the king 's prisoners were bound . And he was there in the prison .
