Genesis 39:11–21

¹¹Now it happened ¹one day that he went into the house to do his work, and none of the men of the household was there inside.

¹²Then she seized him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me!” And he left his garment in her hand and fled and went outside.

¹³Now it happened, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had fled outside,

¹⁴that she called to the men of her household and spoke to them, saying, “See, he has brought in a ¹Hebrew to us to laugh at us; he came in to me to lie with me, and I ²screamed.

¹⁵“Now it happened that when he heard that I raised my voice and ¹screamed, he left his garment beside me and fled and went outside.”

¹⁶And she placed his garment beside her until his master came home.

¹⁷Then she ^aspoke to him ¹with these words, saying, “The Hebrew slave, whom you brought to us, came in to me to laugh at me;

¹⁸and as I raised my voice and ¹screamed, he left his garment beside me and fled outside.”

Joseph Is Put into Jail

¹⁹Now it happened that when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spoke to him, saying, “¹This is what your slave did to me,” ^ahis anger burned.

²⁰So Joseph’s master took him and ^aput him into the jail, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined; and he was there in the jail.

²¹But ^aYahweh was with Joseph and ¹extended lovingkindness to him and ^bgave him favor in the sight of the chief jailer.
