Potiphar put him in charge of his household and entrusted everything he owned to his care. 5 From the time he put Joseph in charge of his household and all that he owned, the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house on account of Joseph. The LORD's blessing was on everything Potiphar had, both in the house and in the field. 6 So Potiphar left everything he had in Joseph's care; with Joseph in charge, he paid no attention to anything except the food he ate. Now Joseph was handsome in form and appearance. 7 After some time, his master's wife looked at Joseph with desire and said, "Sleep with me." 8 But Joseph refused and said to his master's wife, "Look, my master does not concern himself with anything in the house; he has entrusted everything he owns to my care. 9 "No one in this house is greater than I am. He has not withheld anything from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?" 10 Though she spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to lie with her or even be with her. 11 One day, Joseph went into the house to do his work, and none of the household servants was inside. 12 She caught him by his garment and said, "Sleep with me!" But Joseph left his garment in her hand, ran away, and went outside. 13 When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and fled outside, 14 she called her household servants and said to them, "Look, this Hebrew man has been brought to us to mock us! He came to me to lie with me, but I screamed loudly. 15 When he heard me raise my voice and scream, he left his garment beside me and ran outside." 16 She kept his garment beside her until his master came home. 17 Then she told him this story: "That Hebrew servant you brought to us came to mock me. 18 But when I raised my voice and screamed, he left his garment beside me and fled outside." 19 When his master heard the story that his wife told him, saying, "This is how your servant treated me," his anger burned. 20 So Joseph's master took him and put him in the prison where the king's prisoners were held, and he remained there. 21 But the LORD was with Joseph and showed him kindness, granting him favor in the eyes of the prison warden. 22 The warden put Joseph in charge of all the prisoners, and he was responsible for whatever happened there. 23 The warden paid no attention to anything under Joseph's care, because the LORD was with him and gave him success in whatever he did.
  • Gen 42:6 : 6 Now Joseph was the ruler over the land, the one who sold grain to all its people. Joseph's brothers came and bowed down to him with their faces to the ground.
  • Gen 48:1-9 : 1 After these events, someone told Joseph, 'Your father is ill.' So Joseph took his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim, with him. 2 When Jacob was told, 'Your son Joseph is coming to you,' Israel strengthened himself and sat up on the bed. 3 Jacob said to Joseph, 'God Almighty appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan and blessed me.' 4 He said to me, 'I am about to make you fruitful and multiply you. I will make you a community of peoples, and I will give this land to your descendants after you as a permanent possession.' 5 'Now, your two sons who were born to you in the land of Egypt before I came to you here will be mine. Ephraim and Manasseh will be mine, just as Reuben and Simeon are.' 6 'The children born to you after them will be yours. They will be recorded under the names of their brothers in their inheritance.' 7 'As for me, when I was coming from Paddan, Rachel died on me in the land of Canaan, along the way, still some distance from Ephrath. I buried her there on the way to Ephrath, which is Bethlehem.' 8 When Israel saw Joseph’s sons, he asked, 'Who are these?' 9 Joseph said to his father, 'They are my sons whom God has given to me here.' Israel said, 'Bring them to me, please, so I may bless them.' 10 Now Israel’s eyes were failing due to old age—he could not see well. Joseph brought the boys near to him, and he kissed them and embraced them. 11 Israel said to Joseph, 'I never expected to see your face again, but now God has even let me see your children.' 12 Joseph removed the boys from Israel’s knees and bowed down with his face to the ground. 13 Then Joseph took them both—Ephraim with his right hand toward Israel’s left, and Manasseh with his left hand toward Israel’s right—and brought them close to him. 14 But Israel stretched out his right hand and placed it on Ephraim’s head, though he was the younger; and crossing his hands, he placed his left hand on Manasseh’s head, even though Manasseh was the firstborn. 15 Then he blessed Joseph and said, 'The God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked faithfully, the God who has been my shepherd all my life to this day,' 16 'The Angel who redeemed me from all harm, may he bless these boys. May they be called by my name and the names of my fathers Abraham and Isaac. May they grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.' 17 When Joseph saw his father placing his right hand on Ephraim’s head, it displeased him; so he took hold of his father’s hand to move it from Ephraim’s head to Manasseh’s. 18 Joseph said to his father, 'No, my father, this one is the firstborn; place your right hand on his head.' 19 But his father refused and said, 'I know, my son, I know. He too will become a people, and he too will be great. Nevertheless, his younger brother will be greater than he, and his descendants will become a group of nations.' 20 On that day, he blessed them and said, 'By you, Israel will pronounce this blessing: May God make you like Ephraim and Manasseh.' So he placed Ephraim ahead of Manasseh. 21 Then Israel said to Joseph, 'Look, I am about to die, but God will be with you and will bring you back to the land of your ancestors.' 22 And to you, I give one more portion than your brothers, the portion I took from the Amorites with my sword and bow.
