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.
