1
And Yosef was brought down to Mitzrayim. And Potifar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, a Mitzri ish, acquired him from the hand of the Yishmaelim who had brought him down there.
2
And Yahuah was with Yosef, and he became a prosperous ish; and he was in the house of his Mitzri adon.
3
And his adon saw that Yahuah was with him, and that Yahuah caused all that he did to prosper in his hand.
4
And Yosef found favor in his eyes and served him. And he appointed him over his house, and all that he had he gave into his hand.
5
And it came to pass from the time he appointed him over his house and over all that he had, that Yahuah blessed the house of the Mitzri because of Yosef. And the blessing of Yahuah was upon all that he had, in the house and in the field.
6
And he left all that he had in the hand of Yosef, and he did not know anything with him except the bread that he ate. And Yosef was beautiful in form and beautiful in appearance.
7
And it came to pass after these things that the ishah of his adon lifted her eyes toward Yosef and said, “Lie with me.”
8
But he refused and said to the ishah of his adon, “See, my adon does not know what is with me in the house, and all that he has he has given into my hand.
9
There is no one greater in this house than I, and he has not withheld anything from me except you, because you are his ishah. How then could I do this great evil and sin against Elohim?”
10
And it came to pass, as she spoke to Yosef day after day, that he did not listen to her, to lie beside her or to be with her.
11
And it came to pass on a certain day that he entered the house to do his work, and none of the men of the house were there within.
12
And she seized him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me.” And he left his garment in her hand and fled, and went outside.
13
And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and fled outside,
14
that she called to the men of her house and spoke to them, saying, “See, he has brought to us an Ivri ish to mock us. He came in to me to lie with me, and I called with a great voice.
15
And it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted my voice and called out, that he left his garment beside me and fled, and went outside.”
16
And she laid his garment beside her until his adon came to his house.
17
And she spoke to him according to these words, saying, “The Ivri servant whom you brought to us came in to me to mock me.
18
And it came to pass, when I lifted my voice and called out, that he left his garment beside me and fled outside.”
19
And it came to pass, when his adon heard the words of his ishah that she spoke to him, saying, “According to these things your servant did to me,” that his anger burned.
20
And the adon of Yosef took him and gave him into the house of confinement, the place where the prisoners of the king were confined. And he was there in the house of confinement.
21
But Yahuah was with Yosef and extended covenant-faithfulness to him, and gave him favor in the eyes of the keeper of the house of confinement.
22
And the keeper of the house of confinement gave into the hand of Yosef all the prisoners who were in the house of confinement. And everything that was done there, he was the one doing it.
23
The keeper of the house of confinement did not look to anything that was in his hand, because Yahuah was with him; and whatever he did, Yahuah caused it to prosper.
