3 Now his master asaw that the Lord was with him and how the Lord bcaused all that he did to prosper in his hand.

4 So Joseph afound favor in his sight and 1became his personal servant; and he made him overseer over his house, and ball that he owned he put in his 2charge.

6 So he left everything he owned in Joseph’s 1charge; and with him there he did not 2concern himself with anything except the 3food which he 4ate.
