    1Joseph and Potiphar’s Wife Now Joseph had been brought down to Egypt. An Egyptian named Potiphar, an official of Pharaoh and the captain of the guard, purchased him from the Ishmaelites who had brought him there.

    2The LORD was with Joseph. He was successful and lived in the household of his Egyptian master.

    3His master observed that the LORD was with him and that the LORD made everything he was doing successful.

    4So Joseph found favor in his sight and became his personal attendant. Potiphar appointed Joseph overseer of his household and put him in charge of everything he owned.

    5From the time Potiphar appointed him over his household and over all that he owned, the LORD blessed the Egyptian’s household for Joseph’s sake. The blessing of the LORD was on everything that he had, both in his house and in his fields.

    6So Potiphar left everything he had in Joseph’s care; he gave no thought to anything except the food he ate. Now Joseph was well built and good-looking.

    7Soon after these things, his master’s wife took notice of Joseph and said,“Come to bed with me.”

    8But he refused, saying to his master’s wife,“Look, my master does not give any thought to his household with me here, and everything that he owns he has put into my care.
