1 Joseph was brought down to Egypt, and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh and the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had brought him there.

And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmeelites, which had brought him down thither.

2 The LORD was with Joseph, and he became a successful man, serving in the house of his Egyptian master.

And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.

3 His master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD gave him success in everything he did.

And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand.

4 Joseph found favor in his master's eyes and became his personal servant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household and entrusted everything he owned to his care.

And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.

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.

And it came to pass from the time that he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had 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.

And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and he knew not ought he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was a goodly person, and well favoured.

7 After some time, his master's wife looked at Joseph with desire and said, "Sleep with me."

And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie 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.

But he refused, and said unto his master's wife, Behold, my master wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand;

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?"

There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?

10 Though she spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to lie with her or even be with her.

And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, or to be with her.

11 One day, Joseph went into the house to do his work, and none of the household servants was inside.

And it came to pass about this time, that Joseph went into the house to do his business; and there was none of the men of the house there within.

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.

And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out.

13 When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and fled outside,

And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth,

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.

That she called unto the men of her house, and spake unto them, saying, See, he hath brought in an Hebrew unto us to mock us; he came in unto me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice:

15 When he heard me raise my voice and scream, he left his garment beside me and ran outside."

And it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled, and got him out.

16 She kept his garment beside her until his master came home.

And she laid up his garment by her, until his lord came home.

17 Then she told him this story: "That Hebrew servant you brought to us came to mock me.

And she spake unto him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, which thou hast brought unto us, came in unto me to mock me:

18 But when I raised my voice and screamed, he left his garment beside me and fled outside."

And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled out.

19 When his master heard the story that his wife told him, saying, "This is how your servant treated me," his anger burned.

And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spake unto him, saying, After this manner did thy servant to me; that his wrath was kindled.

20 So Joseph's master took him and put him in the prison where the king's prisoners were held, and he remained there.

And Joseph's master took him, and put him into the prison, a place where the king's prisoners were bound: and he was there in the prison.

21 But the LORD was with Joseph and showed him kindness, granting him favor in the eyes of the prison warden.

But the LORD was with Joseph, and shewed him mercy, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.

22 The warden put Joseph in charge of all the prisoners, and he was responsible for whatever happened there.

And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer of it.

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.

The keeper of the prison looked not to any thing that was under his hand; because the LORD was with him, and that which he did, the LORD made it to prosper.
