2. But the Lord was with Joseph, and he [though a slave] was a successful and prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
3. And his master saw that the Lord was with him and that the Lord made all that he did to flourish and succeed in his hand. [Gen. 21:22; 26:27, 28; 41:38, 39.]
4. So Joseph pleased [Potiphar] and found favor in his sight, and he served him. And [his master] made him supervisor over his house and he put all that he had in his charge.
5. From the time that he made him supervisor in his house and over all that he had, the Lord blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the Lord's blessing was on all that he had in the house and in the field.
6. And [Potiphar] left all that he had in Joseph's charge and paid no attention to anything he had except the food he ate. Now Joseph was an attractive person and fine-looking.
7. Then after a time his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph, and she said, Lie with me.
8. But he refused and said to his master's wife, See here, with me in the house my master has concern about nothing; he has put all that he has in my care.
9. He is not greater in this house than I am; nor has he kept anything from me except you, for you are his wife. How then can I do this great evil and sin against God?
10. She spoke to Joseph day after day, but he did not listen to her, to lie with her or to be with her.
11. Then it happened about this time that Joseph went into the house to attend to his duties, and none of the men of the house were indoors.
