And he was in the household of his master the Egyptian. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/39-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>And his master saw that God was with him, and that God made everything that he did to succeed in his hands. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/39-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>So Joseph found favor in the sight of his master, and attended him, and he made him overseer of his house, and all that he had he put under his authority. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/39-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>And it came about that from the time that he made him overseer of his household and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian抯 house because of Joseph; and the blessing of the LORD was on all that he had, in the house and in the field. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/39-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>So he left everything that he had in Joseph抯 care. He did not concern himself with anything, except for the food which he ate. Now Joseph was handsome in form and appearance. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/39-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>And it came to pass after these things that his master抯 wife took notice of Joseph and she said, "Sleep with me." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/39-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>But he refused, and said to his master抯 wife, "Look, my master does not concern himself with anything in his house, and he has put all that he has into my care. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/39-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>There is no one greater in this household than I am, nor has he kept back anything from me but you, since you are his wife. How then can I do such a great evil, and sin against God?" <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/39-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>And although she spoke to Joseph day after day, he did not listen to her to sleep with her or to be with her. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/39-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>Now it happened about this time that he went into the house to do his work, and there were none of the men of the house inside. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/39-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>She grabbed him by his garment, saying, "Sleep with me.
