Genesis 39:1-5 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

1. The traders who bought Joseph took him down to Egypt. They sold him to the captain of Pharaoh’s guard, Potiphar.

2. The Lord helped Joseph become a successful man. Joseph lived in the house of his master, Potiphar the Egyptian.

3. Potiphar saw that the Lord was with Joseph and that the Lord helped Joseph be successful in everything he did.

4. So Potiphar was very happy with Joseph. He allowed Joseph to work for him and to help him rule the house. Joseph was the ruler over everything Potiphar owned.

5. After Joseph was made the ruler over the house, the Lord blessed the house and everything that Potiphar owned. The Lord also blessed everything that grew in Potiphar’s fields. The Lord did this because of Joseph.
