Genesis 39:11–21

¹¹But one day when Joseph went into the house to do his work, none of the house servants was there. ¹²She caught him by his robe and said, “Come to bed with me.” But he escaped and ran outside, leaving his robe in her hand. ¹³When she saw that he had left his robe and had run out of the house, ¹⁴she called to her house servants and said, “Look at this! This Hebrew that my husband brought to the house is insulting us. He came into my room and tried to rape me, but I screamed as loud as I could. ¹⁵When he heard me scream, he ran outside, leaving his robe beside me.”

¹⁶She kept his robe with her until Joseph’s master came home. ¹⁷Then she told him the same story: “That Hebrew slave that you brought here came into my room and insulted me. ¹⁸But when I screamed, he ran outside, leaving his robe beside me.”

¹⁹Joseph’s master was furious ²⁰and had Joseph arrested and put in the prison where the king’s prisoners were kept, and there he stayed. ^21*But the Lord was with Joseph and blessed him, so that the jailer was pleased with him.
