Genesis 39:7–15

⁷And it happened after these events ^athat his master’s wife ¹set her eyes on Joseph and said, “^bLie with me.”

⁸But ^ahe refused and said to his master’s wife, “Behold, with me here, my master ¹does not concern himself with anything in the house, and he has given all that he owns into my hand.

⁹“^1aThere is no one greater in this house than I, and he has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do this great evil and ^bsin against God?”

¹⁰So it happened that as she spoke to Joseph day after day, he did not listen to her to lie beside her or be with her.

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.”
