Genesis 39:10-21 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

10. And it came to be, as she spoke to Yosĕph day by day, that he did not listen to her, to lie with her, to be with her.

11. And it came to be on a certain day, when Yosĕph went into the house to do his work, and none of the men of the house was inside,

12. that she caught him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me.” But he left his garment in her hand, and fled and ran outside.

13. And it came to be, 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 in to us a Heḇrew to mock us. He came in to me to lie with me, and I cried out with a loud voice.

15. “And it came to be, when he heard that I lifted my voice and cried out, that he left his garment with me, and fled and went outside.”

16. And she kept his garment with her until his master came home.

17. And she spoke to him these same words, saying, “The Heḇrew servant whom you brought to us came in to me, to mock me,

18. so it came to be, as I lifted my voice and cried out, that he left his garment with me and fled outside.”

19. And it came to be, when his master heard the words which his wife spoke to him, saying, “Your servant did to me according to these words,” that his displeasure burned.

20. Then Yosĕph’s master took him and put him into the prison, a place where the sovereign’s prisoners were confined. And he was there in the prison.

21. But יהוה was with Yosĕph and extended kindness to him, and He gave him favour in the eyes of the prison warden.
