Genesis 39:7-16 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

7. And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes on Joseph, and said, Lie with me!

8. But he refused, and said to his master's wife, Behold, my master takes cognizance of nothing with me: what is in the house, and all that he has, he has given into my hand.

9. There is none greater in this house than I; neither has he withheld anything from me but thee, because thou art his wife; and how should I do this great wickedness, and sin against God

10. And it came to pass as she spoke to Joseph day by day and he hearkened not to her, to lie with her and to be with her,

11. that on a certain day he went into the house to do his business, and there was none of the men of the house there in the house.

12. Then she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me! But he left his garment in her hand, and fled and ran out.

13. And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had fled forth,

14. that she called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, See, he has brought in a Hebrew man to us, to mock us: he came in to me, to lie with me; and I cried with a loud voice;

15. and it came to pass when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled and went out.

16. And she laid his garment by her until his lord came home.
