Genesis 39
Peshitta Holy Bible Translated Par ▾ 
1And the Midianites took Yoseph down to Egypt, and Putiphar the Eunuch, High Guard of Pharaoh, an Egyptian man, bought him from the hand of the Arabs who brought him down there. 2And LORD JEHOVAH was with Yoseph and he was a prosperous man in the house of his lord the Egyptian. 3And his lord saw that LORD JEHOVAH was with him and LORD JEHOVAH prospered everything that he did with his hands. 4And Yoseph found favor in his eyes and he served him and he authorized him over his house and everything that he had he gave into his hands. 5And it was from the time that he authorized him over his house and over everything that he had, LORD JEHOVAH blessed the house of the Egyptian because of Yoseph, and the blessing of LORD JEHOVAH was in everything that he had in the house and in the field. 6And he left everything that he had in the hand of Yoseph, and he did not know anything that he had with him but the bread that he was eating. And Yoseph was handsome in his appearance and his face was attractive. 7And it was after these matters, the wife of his lord set her eyes on Yoseph and she said to him, “Lie with me.” 8And he did not want to, and he said to the wife of his lord, “Behold, my Lord does not know what is with me in his house, and everything that he has, he has authorized into my hands; 9And there is none greater in this house than I, and not he has spared me anything but you, for you are his wife, and how shall I do this great evil and sin against God?” 10And as she was speaking to him every day and he was not listening to her to lie with her and to be with her. 11It was on one of the days, and Yoseph entered the house to do work, and there was no man of the men of the house there in the house. 12And she caught him by his garment, and she said to him, “Lie with me”, and he left his garment in her hands, and escaping, he went out to the street.

13And it was that when she saw that he left his garment in her hands and fled to the street. 14She called the men of her house and she said to them, “See that he brought to us the Hebrew Servant to mock at us; he came in against me to lie with me and I cried out in a loud voice 15And when he heard that I lifted up my voice and I cried out, he left his garment with me and fled; he went out to the street.” 16And she laid aside his garment with her until his lord came into the house. 17And she said to him, “According to these words the Hebrew Servant, whom you brought to us, came in against me to mock at us: 18And when I lifted my voice and I cried out, he left his garment in my hands and fled; he went out to the street.”

19And when his lord heard the words of his wife that she had told him: “According to these words your Servant did to me”, his anger was inflamed. 20And his lord took him and threw him into prison where the prisoners of the King were bound, and he was there in the prison. 21And LORD JEHOVAH was with Yoseph and cast favor over him, and he gave him affection in the eyes of the Chief of the prison. 22And the Chief of prisoners delivered into the hand of Yoseph all the prisoners that were in the prison, and everything that they were doing there; he was the Bondsman. 23And the Chief of the prisoners did not see anything in his hand, because LORD JEHOVAH was with him, and LORD JEHOVAH prospered everything that he was doing.
