Bereshis 39:7-16 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

7. And it came to pass after these things, that eshet adonav cast her eyes upon Yosef; and she said, Lie with me.

8. But he refused, and said unto eshet adonav, Look, with me [here], adoni knows not what is in the bais, and he hath entrusted all that he hath to my yad;

9. There is none gadol in this bais than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me except thee only, because thou art his isha; how then can I do hara'ah hagedolah hazot, and commit chattat against Elohim?

10. And it came to pass, as she spoke to Yosef yom yom, that he unto her lo shama (did not pay heed), to lie with her, or to be with her.

11. And it came to pass about this time, that Yosef went into the bais to do his melachah (work); and there was none of the anshei habayit there within.

12. And she caught him by his beged, saying, Lie with me; and he left his beged in her yad, and fled, and ran outside.

13. And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his beged in her yad, and had fled outside,

14. That she called unto her anshei habayit, and spoke unto them, saying, Look, he hath brought in unto us an ish Ivri to show disrespect and mock us. He came in unto me to lie with me, and I screamed with a kol gadol (loud voice);

15. And it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted up my voice and screamed, that he left his beged with me, and fled, and ran outside.

16. And she laid up his beged by her, until adonav came to his bais.
