Genesis 39:13-23

¹³When she saw that he had left his cloak in her hand and had run out of the house,

¹⁴she called her household servants. “Look,” she said, “this Hebrew has been brought to us to make sport of us. He came to me so he could sleep with me, but I screamed as loud as I could.

¹⁵When he heard me scream for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.”

¹⁶So Potiphar’s wife kept Joseph’s cloak beside her until his master came home.

¹⁷Then she told him the same story: “The Hebrew slave you brought us came to me to make sport of me,

¹⁸but when I screamed for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.”

¹⁹When his master heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is what your slave did to me,” he burned with anger.

²⁰So Joseph’s master took him and had him thrown into the prison where the king’s prisoners were confined. While Joseph was there in the prison,

²¹the LORD was with him and extended kindness to him, granting him favor in the eyes of the prison warden.

²²And the warden put all the prisoners under Joseph’s care, so that he was responsible for all that was done in the prison.

²³The warden did not concern himself with anything under Joseph’s care, because the LORD was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did.
