2. And the Lord was with him, and he was a man who prospered in everything that he did. And he lived in the house of his lord,
3. who knew very well that the Lord was with him, and that all the things that were done by him were directed by his hand.
4. And Joseph found favor in the sight of his lord, and he ministered to him. And, having been placed in charge of everything by him, he governed the house that was entrusted to him and all the things that had been delivered to him.
5. And the Lord blessed the house of the Egyptian, because of Joseph, and he multiplied all his substance, as much in the buildings, as in the fields.
6. Neither did he know anything other than the bread that he ate. Now Joseph was beautiful in form, and stately in appearance.
7. And so, after many days, his mistress cast her eyes on Joseph, and she said, "Sleep with me."
8. And without consenting at all to the wicked act, he said to her: "Behold, my lord has delivered all things to me, and he does not know what he has in his own house.
9. Neither is there anything which is not in my power, or that he has not delivered to me, except you, for you are his wife. How then can I do this evil act and sin against my God?"
10. With such words as these, throughout each day, the woman was pestering the young man, and he was refusing the adultery.
