The Latter Days - Genesis Chapter 39

Gen 39:1 And Joseph [03130] was brought down [03381] (8717) to Egypt [04714]; and Potiphar [06318], an officer [05631] of Pharaoh [06547], captain [08269] of the guard [02876], an Egyptian [0376] [04713], bought [07069] (8799) him of the hands [03027] of the Ishmeelites [03459], which had brought him down [03381] (8689) thither.
Gen 39:2 And the LORD [03068] was with Joseph [03130], and he was a prosperous [06743] (8688) man [0376]; and he was in the house [01004] of his master [0113] the Egyptian [04713].
Gen 39:3 And his master [0113] saw [07200] (8799) that the LORD [03068] was with him, and that the LORD [03068] made all that he did [06213] (8802) to prosper [06743] (8688) in his hand [03027].
Gen 39:4 And Joseph [03130] found [04672] (8799) grace [02580] in his sight [05869], and he served [08334] (8762) him: and he made him overseer [06485] (8686) over his house [01004], and all that he had [03426] he put [05414] (8804) into his hand [03027].
Gen 39:5 And it came to pass from the time [0227] that he had made him overseer [06485] (8689) in his house [01004], and over all that he had [03426], that the LORD [03068] blessed [01288] (8762) the Egyptian's [04713] house [01004] for Joseph's [03130] sake [01558]; and the blessing [01293] of the LORD [03068] was upon all that he had [03426] in the house [01004], and in the field [07704].
Gen 39:6 And he left [05800] (8799) all that he had in Joseph's [03130] hand [03027]; and he knew [03045] (8804) not ought [03972] he had, save [0518] the bread [03899] which he did eat [0398] (8802). And Joseph [03130] was [a] goodly [08389] [person], and well [03303] favoured [04758].
Gen 39:7 And it came to pass after [0310] these things [01697], that his master's [0113] wife [0802] cast [05375] (8799) her eyes [05869] upon Joseph [03130]; and she said [0559] (8799), Lie [07901] (8798) with me.
Gen 39:8 But he refused [03985] (8762), and said [0559] (8799) unto his master's [0113] wife [0802], Behold, my master [0113] wotteth [03045] (8804) not what is with me in the house [01004], and he hath committed [05414] (8804) all that he hath [03426] to my hand [03027];
Gen 39:9 there is none greater [01419] in this house [01004] than I; neither [03808] hath he kept back [02820] (8804) any thing [03972] from me but thee, because [0834] thou [0859] art his wife [0802]: how then can I do [06213] (8799) this great [01419] wickedness [07451], and sin [02398] (8804) against God [0430]?
Gen 39:10 And it came to pass, as she spake [01696] (8763) to Joseph [03130] day [03117] by day [03117], that he hearkened [08085] (8804) not unto her, to lie [07901] (8800) by her [0681], [or] to be with her.
Gen 39:11 And it came to pass about this time [03117], that [Joseph] went [0935] (8799) into the house [01004] to do [06213] (8800) his business [04399]; and there was none of the men [0376] [0582] of the house [01004] there within.
Gen 39:12 And she caught [08610] (8799) him by his garment [0899], saying [0559] (8800), Lie [07901] (8798) with me: and he left [05800] (8799) his garment [0899] in her hand [03027], and fled [05127] (8799), and got [03318] (8799) him out [02351].
Gen 39:13 And it came to pass, when she saw [07200] (8800) that he had left [05800] (8804) his garment [0899] in her hand [03027], and was fled [05127] (8799) forth [02351],
Gen 39:14 That she called [07121] (8799) unto the men [0582] of her house [01004], and spake [0559] (8799) unto them, saying [0559] (8800), See [07200] (8798), he hath brought in [0935] (8689) an Hebrew [0376] [05680] unto us to mock [06711] (8763) us; he came in [0935] (8804) unto me to lie [07901] (8800) with me, and I cried [07121] (8799) with a loud [01419] voice [06963]:
Gen 39:15 And it came to pass, when he heard [08085] (8800) that I lifted up [07311] (8689) my voice [06963] and cried [07121] (8799), that he left [05800] (8799) his garment [0899] with me [0681], and fled [05127] (8799), and got him [03318] (8799) out [02351].
Gen 39:16 And she laid up [03240] (8686) his garment [0899] by her [0681], until his lord [0113] came [0935] (8800) home [01004].
Gen 39:17 And she spake [01696] (8762) unto him according to these words [01697], saying [0559] (8800), The Hebrew [05680] servant [05650], which thou hast brought [0935] (8689) unto us, came in [0935] (8804) unto me to mock [06711] (8763) me:
Gen 39:18 And it came to pass, as I lifted up [07311] (8687) my voice [06963] and cried [07121] (8799), that he left [05800] (8799) his garment [0899] with me [0681], and fled [05127] (8799) out [02351].
Gen 39:19 And it came to pass, when his master [0113] heard [08085] (8800) the words [01697] of his wife [0802], which she spake [01696] (8765) unto him, saying [0559] (8800), After this manner [01697] did [06213] (8804) thy servant [05650] to me; that his wrath [0639] was kindled [02734] (8799).
Gen 39:20 And Joseph's [03130] master [0113] took [03947] (8799) him, and put him [05414] (8799) into the prison [01004] [05470], a place [04725] where the king's [04428] prisoners [0615] were bound [0631] (8803): and he was there in the prison [01004] [05470].
Gen 39:21 But the LORD [03068] was with Joseph [03130], and shewed [05186] (8799) him mercy [02617], and gave [05414] (8799) him favour [02580] in the sight [05869] of the keeper [08269] of the prison [01004] [05470].
Gen 39:22 And the keeper [08269] of the prison [01004] [05470] committed [05414] (8799) to Joseph's [03130] hand [03027] all the prisoners [0615] that were in the prison [01004] [05470]; and whatsoever they did [06213] (8802) there, he was the doer [06213] (8802) [of it].
Gen 39:23 The keeper [08269] of the prison [01004] [05470] looked [07200] (8802) not to any thing [03972] [that was] under his hand [03027]; because the LORD [03068] was with him, and that which he did [06213] (8802), the LORD [03068] made [it] to prosper [06743] (8688).
