Joseph's
Success in Egypt |
|
|
 |
|
Genesis 39:1
|
|
Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt; and
Potiphar, an Egyptian officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the bodyguard, bought
him from the Ishmaelites, who had taken him down there. |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 39:2
|
|
The LORD was with Joseph, so he became a successful
man. And he was in the house of his master, the Egyptian. |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 39:3
|
|
Now his master saw that the LORD was with him
and how the LORD caused all that he did to prosper in his hand. |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 39:4
|
|
So Joseph found favor in his sight and became
his personal servant; and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he
owned he put in his charge. |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 39:5
|
|
It came about that from the time he made him
overseer in his house and over all that he owned, the LORD blessed the Egyptian's
house on account of Joseph; thus the LORD'S blessing was upon all that he owned,
in the house and in the field. |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 39:6
|
|
So he left everything he owned in Joseph's charge;
and with him there he did not concern himself with anything except the food which
he ate. Now Joseph was handsome in form and appearance. |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 39:7
|
|
It came about after these events that his master's
wife looked with desire at Joseph, and she said, "Lie with me." |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 39:8
|
|
But he refused and said to his master's wife,
"Behold, with me here, my master does not concern himself with anything in the
house, and he has put all that he owns in my charge. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 39:9
|
|
"There is no one greater in this house than
I, and he has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How
then could I do this great evil and sin against God?" |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 39:10
|
|
As she spoke to Joseph day after day, he did
not listen to her to lie beside her or be with her. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 39:11
|
|
Now it happened one day that he went into the
house to do his work, and none of the men of the household was there inside. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 39:12
|
|
She caught him by his garment, saying, "Lie
with me!" And he left his garment in her hand and fled, and went outside. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 39:13
|
|
When she saw that he had left his garment in
her hand and had fled outside, |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 39:14
|
|
she called to the men of her household and said
to them, "See, he has brought in a Hebrew to us to make sport of us; he came in
to me to lie with me, and I screamed. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 39:15
|
|
"When he heard that I raised my voice and screamed,
he left his garment beside me and fled and went outside." |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 39:16
|
|
So she left his garment beside her until his
master came home. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 39:17
|
|
Then she spoke to him with these words, "The
Hebrew slave, whom you brought to us, came in to me to make sport of me; |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 39:18
|
|
and as I raised my voice and screamed, he left
his garment beside me and fled outside." |
| |
|
|
| |
|
Joseph
Imprisoned |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 39:19
|
|
Now when his master heard the words of his wife,
which she spoke to him, saying, "This is what your slave did to me," his anger
burned. |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 39:20
|
|
So Joseph's master took him and put him into
the jail, the place where the king's prisoners were confined; and he was there
in the jail. |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 39:21
|
|
But the LORD was with Joseph and extended kindness
to him, and gave him favor in the sight of the chief jailer. |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 39:22
|
|
The chief jailer committed to Joseph's charge
all the prisoners who were in the jail; so that whatever was done there, he was
responsible for it. |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 39:23
|
|
The chief jailer did not supervise anything
under Joseph's charge because the LORD was with him; and whatever he did, the
LORD made to prosper. |
