Genesis 39:7-13 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

7. After some time, the wife of Joseph’s master began to pay special attention to him. One day she said to him, “Sleep with me.”

8. But Joseph refused. He said, “My master trusts me with everything in his house. He has given me responsibility for everything here.

9. My master has made me almost equal to him in his house. I cannot sleep with his wife! That is wrong! It is a sin against God.”

10. The woman talked with Joseph every day, but he refused to sleep with her.

11. One day Joseph went into the house to do his work. He was the only man in the house at the time.

12. His master’s wife grabbed his coat and said to him, “Come to bed with me.” But Joseph ran out of the house so fast that he left his coat in her hand.

13. The woman saw that Joseph had left his coat in her hand and had run out of the house.
