Genesis:39:7-20
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 .
