ASV_Strong : Genesis 39
1. And Joseph[H3130] was brought down[H3381] to Egypt[H4714]; and Potiphar[H6318], an officer[H5631] of Pharaoh[H6547]'s, the captain[H8269] of the guard[H2876], an Egyptian[H376], bought[H7069] him of the hand[H3027] of the Ishmaelites[H3459], that had brought him down thither[H3381].
2. And Jehovah[H3068] was with Joseph[H3130], and he was a prosperous[H6743] man[H376]; and he was in the house[H1004] of his master[H113] the Egyptian[H4713].
3. And his master[H113] saw[H7200] that Jehovah[H3068] was with him[H3068], and that Jehovah made all that he did[H6213] to prosper[H6743] in his hand[H3027].
4. And Joseph[H3130] found[H4672] favor[H2580] in his sight[H5869], and he ministered[H8334] unto him[H6485]: and he made him overseer over his house[H1004], and all that he had[H3426] he put[H5414] into his hand[H3027].
5. And it came to pass from the time[H227] that he made him overseer[H6485] in his house[H1004], and over all that he had[H3426], that Jehovah[H3068] blessed[H1288] the Egyptian[H4713]'s house[H1004] for Joseph[H3130]'s sake[H1558]; and the blessing[H1293] of Jehovah[H3068] was upon all that he had[H3426], in the house[H1004] and in the field[H7704].
6. And he left[H5800] all that he had in Joseph[H3130]'s hand[H3027]; and he knew[H3045] not aught[H3972] that was with him[H518], save the bread[H3899] which he did eat[H398]. And Joseph[H3130] was comely[H8389], and[H3303] well-favored[H4758].
7. And it came to pass after[H310] these things[H1697], that his master[H113]'s wife[H802] cast[H5375] her eyes[H5869] upon Joseph[H3130]; and she said[H559], Lie with me[H7901].
8. But he refused[H3985], and said[H559] unto his master[H113]'s wife[H802], Behold[H113], my master knoweth[H3045] not what is with me in the house[H1004], and he hath put[H5414] all that he hath[H3426] into my hand[H3027]:
9. he is not greater[H1419] in this house[H1004] than I[H3808]; neither hath he kept back[H2820] anything[H3972] from me but thee[H834], because thou[H859] art his wife[H802]: how then can I do[H6213] this great[H1419] wickedness[H7451], and sin[H2398] against God[H430]?
10. And it came to pass[H1696], as she spake to Joseph[H3130] day[H3117] by day[H3117], that he hearkened[H8085] not unto her[H7901], to lie by her[H681], or to be with her.
11. And it came to pass about this time[H3117], that he went[H935] into the house[H1004] to do[H6213] his work[H4399]; and there was none of the men[H376] of the house there within[H1004].
12. And she caught[H8610] him by his garment[H899], saying[H559], Lie[H7901] with me[H5800]: and he left his garment[H899] in her hand[H3027], and fled[H5127], and got[H3318] him out[H2351].
13. And it came to pass[H7200], when she saw that he had left[H5800] his garment[H899] in her hand[H3027], and was fled[H5127] forth[H2351],
14. that she called[H7121] unto the men[H582] of her house[H1004], and spake[H559] unto them[H559], saying, See[H7200], he hath brought in[H935] a Hebrew[H376] unto us to mock[H6711] us[H935]: he came in unto me to lie[H7901] with me[H7121], and I cried with a loud[H1419] voice[H6963]:
15. and it came to pass[H8085], when he heard that I lifted up[H7311] my voice[H6963] and cried[H7121], that he left[H5800] his garment[H899] by me[H681], and fled[H5127], and got him[H3318] out[H2351].
16. And she laid up[H3240] his garment[H899] by her[H681], until his master[H113] came[H935] home[H1004].
17. And she spake[H1696] unto him according to these words[H1697], saying[H559], The Hebrew[H5680] servant[H5650], whom thou hast brought[H935] unto us[H935], came in unto me to mock me[H6711]:
18. and it came to pass[H7311], as I lifted up my voice[H6963] and cried[H7121], that he left[H5800] his garment[H899] by me[H681], and fled[H5127] out[H2351].
19. And it came to pass[H113], when his master heard[H8085] the words[H1697] of his wife[H802], which she spake[H1696] unto him[H559], saying, After this manner[H1697] did[H6213] thy servant[H5650] to me[H639]; that his wrath was kindled[H2734].
20. And Joseph[H3130]'s master[H113] took[H3947] him[H5414], and put him into the prison[H1004], the place[H4725] where the king[H4428]'s prisoners[H615] were bound[H631]: and he was there in the prison[H1004].
21. But Jehovah[H3068] was with Joseph[H3130], and showed[H5186] kindness[H2617] unto him[H5414], and gave him favor[H2580] in the sight[H5869] of the keeper[H8269] of the prison[H1004].
22. And the keeper[H8269] of the prison[H1004] committed[H5414] to Joseph[H3130]'s hand[H3027] all the prisoners[H615] that were in the prison[H1004]; and whatsoever they did[H6213] there[H6213], he was the doer of it.
23. The keeper[H8269] of the prison[H1004] looked[H7200] not to anything[H3972] that was under his hand[H3027], because Jehovah[H3068] was with him[H6213]; and that which he did, Jehovah[H3068] made it to prosper[H6743].
