12. And she, grasping the hem of his garment, said, "Sleep with me." But he, leaving behind the cloak in her hand, fled and went outside.
13. And when the woman saw the garment in her hands and herself being treated with disrespect,
14. she called to herself the men of her house, and she said to them: "Lo, he has brought in a Hebrew man to abuse us. He entered toward me, in order to join with me; and when I had shouted out,
15. and he had heard my voice, he left behind the cloak that I held, and he fled outside."
16. As a proof, therefore, of her fidelity, she retained the cloak, and she showed it to her husband, when he returned home.
17. And she said: "The Hebrew servant, whom you have brought in to me, approached me to abuse me.
18. And when he had heard me cry out, he left behind the cloak that I held, and he fled outside."
19. His lord, upon hearing these things, and having excessive trust in the words of his mate, was very angry.
20. And he delivered Joseph into prison, where the prisoners of the king were kept, and he was enclosed in that place.
21. But the Lord was with Joseph, and, having mercy on him, he gave him favor in the sight of the leader of the prison,
22. who delivered into his hand all the prisoners who were held in custody. And whatever was done, was under him.
23. Neither did he himself know anything, having entrusted all things to him. For the Lord was with him, and he directed everything that he did.
