Genesis 39 — Scripture text (King James Version)
And 3130 was brought down3381 to 4714; and 6318, an officer5631 of 6547, captain8269 of the guard2876, an 376 4713, bought7069 him of the hands3027 of the Ishmeelites3459, which had brought him down3381 thither. And the LORD3068 was with 3130, and he was a prosperous6743 man376; and he was in the house1004 of his master113 the 4713. And his master113 saw7200 that the LORD3068 was with him, and that the LORD3068 made all that he did6213 to prosper6743 in his hand3027. And 3130 found4672 2580 in his sight5869, and he served8334 him: and he made him overseer6485 over his house1004, and all that he had3426 he 5414 into his hand3027. And it came to pass from the time227 that he had made him overseer6485 in his house1004, and over all that he had3426, that the LORD3068 blessed1288 the 's4713 house1004 for 's3130 sake1558; and the blessing1293 of the LORD3068 was upon all that he had3426 in the house1004, and in the field7704. And he left5800 all that he had in 's3130 hand3027; and he knew3045 not ought3972 he had, save518 the bread3899 which he did eat398. And 3130 was a goodly8389 person, and 3303 favoured4758. And it came to pass after310 these things1697, that his master's113 wife802 cast5375 her eyes5869 upon 3130; and she said559, Lie7901 with me. But he refused3985, and said559 unto his master's113 wife802, Behold, my master113 wotteth3045 not what is with me in the house1004, and he hath committed5414 all that he hath3426 to my hand3027; There is none greater1419 in this house1004 than I; neither3808 hath he kept back2820 any thing3972 from me but thee, because834 thou859 art his wife802: how then can I do6213 this great1419 wickedness7451, and sin2398 against God430? And it came to pass, as she spake1696 to 3130 day3117 by day3117, that he hearkened8085 not unto her, to lie7901 by her681, or to be with her. And it came to pass about this time3117, that went935 into the house1004 to do6213 his business4399; and there was none of the men376 582 of the house1004 there within. And she caught8610 him by his garment899, saying559, Lie7901 with me: and he left5800 his garment899 in her hand3027, and fled5127, and got3318 him out2351. And it came to pass, when she saw7200 that he had left5800 his garment899 in her hand3027, and was fled5127 forth2351, That she called7121 unto the men582 of her house1004, and spake559 unto them, saying559, See7200, he hath brought in935 an Hebrew376 5680 unto us to mock6711 us; he came in935 unto me to lie7901 with me, and I cried7121 with a loud1419 voice6963: loud: Heb. great And it came to pass, when he heard8085 that I lifted up7311 my voice6963 and cried7121, that he left5800 his garment899 with me681, and fled5127, and got him3318 out2351. And she laid up3240 his garment899 by her681, until his lord113 came935 home1004. And she spake1696 unto him according to these words1697, saying559, The Hebrew5680 servant5650, which thou hast brought935 unto us, came in935 unto me to mock6711 me: And it came to pass, as I lifted up7311 my voice6963 and cried7121, that he left5800 his garment899 with me681, and fled5127 out2351. And it came to pass, when his master113 heard8085 the words1697 of his wife802, which she spake1696 unto him, saying559, After this manner1697 did6213 thy servant5650 to me; that his wrath639 was kindled2734. And 's3130 master113 took3947 him, and him5414 into the prison1004 5470, a place4725 where the king's4428 prisoners615 were bound631: and he was there in the prison1004 5470. But the LORD3068 was with 3130, and shewed5186 him 2617, and gave5414 him favour2580 in the sight5869 of the keeper8269 of the prison1004 5470. shewed: Heb. extended kindness unto him And the keeper8269 of the prison1004 5470 committed5414 to 's3130 hand3027 all the prisoners615 that were in the prison1004 5470; and whatsoever they did6213 there, he was the doer6213 of it. The keeper8269 of the prison1004 5470 looked7200 not to any thing3972 that was under his hand3027; because the LORD3068 was with him, and that which he did6213, the LORD3068 made it to prosper6743.
