    6So 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.

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

    8But 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?"

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

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

    12She caught him by his garment and said, "Sleep with me!" But Joseph left his garment in her hand, ran away, and went outside.

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

    14she 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.

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