* And Joseph was brought down to Egypt ; and Potiphar , an officer of Pharaoh , captain of the guard , an Egyptian , bought him of the hands of the Ishmeelites , which had brought him down thither . * And the LORD was with Joseph , and he was a prosperous man ; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian . * And his master saw that the LORD was with him , and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand . * And Joseph found grace in his sight , and he served him : and he made him overseer over his house , and all that he had he put into his hand . * And it came to pass from the time that he had made him overseer in his house , and over all that he had , that the LORD blessed the Egyptian 's house for Joseph 's sake ; and the blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had in the house , and in the field . * And he left all that he had in Joseph 's hand ; and he knew not ought he had , save the bread which he did eat . And Joseph was a goodly person , and well favoured . * And it came to pass after these things , that his master 's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph ; and she said , Lie with me . * But he refused , and said unto his master 's wife , Behold , my master wotteth not what is with me in the house , and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand ; * There is none greater in this house than I ; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee , because thou art his wife : how then can I do this great wickedness , and sin against God ? * And it came to pass , as she spake to Joseph day by day , that he hearkened not unto her , to lie by her , or to be with her . * And it came to pass about this time , that Joseph went into the house to do his business ; and there was none of the men of the house there within . * And she caught him by his garment , saying , Lie with me : and he left his garment in her hand , and fled , and got him 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 unto the men of her house , and spake unto them , saying , See , he hath brought in an Hebrew unto us to mock us ; he came in unto me to lie 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 with me , and fled , and got him out . * And she laid up his garment by her , until his lord came home . * And she spake unto him according to these words , saying , The Hebrew servant , which thou hast brought unto us , came in unto me to mock me : * And it came to pass , as I lifted up my voice and cried , that he left his garment with me , and fled out . * And it came to pass , when his master heard the words of his wife , which she spake unto 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 , a place where the king 's prisoners were bound : and he was there in the prison . * But the LORD was with Joseph , and shewed him mercy , and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison . * And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph 's hand all the prisoners that were in the prison ; and whatsoever they did there , he was the doer of it . * The keeper of the prison looked not to any thing that was under his hand ; because the LORD was with him , and that which he did , the LORD made it to prosper .
