    1 Now Joseph was taken down to Egypt; and Potiphar the Egyptian, a captain of high position in Pharaoh's house, got him for a price from the Ishmaelites who had taken him there.

    2 And the Lord was with Joseph, and he did well; and he was living in the house of his master the Egyptian.

    3 And his master saw that the Lord was with him, making everything he did go well.

    4 And having a high opinion of Joseph as his servant, he made him the overseer of his house and gave him control over all he had.

    5 And from the time when he made him overseer and gave him control of all his property, the blessing of the Lord was with the Egyptian, because of Joseph; the blessing of the Lord was on all he had, in the house and in the field.

    6 And he gave Joseph control of all his property, keeping no account of anything, but only the food which was put before him. Now Joseph was very beautiful in form and face.

    7 And after a time, his master's wife, looking on Joseph with desire, said to him, Be my lover.

    8 But he would not, and said to her, You see that my master keeps no account of what I do in his house, and has put all his property in my control;

    9 So that no one has more authority in this house than I have; he has kept nothing back from me but you, because you are his wife; how then may I do this great wrong, sinning against God?

    10 And day after day she went on requesting Joseph to come to her and be her lover, but he would not give ear to her.
