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.

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

131When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had fled outside,

14she called to the men of her household and said to them, “See, he has brought in a 1Hebrew to us to make sport of us; he came in to me to lie with me, and I 2screamed.

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

16So she 1left his garment beside her until his master came home.

17Then she aspoke to him 1with these words, “2The Hebrew slave, whom you brought to us, came in to me to make sport of me;

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