2. The Lord was with Joseph and he enjoyed great success and was assigned to the household of his Egyptian master.

3. When his master saw that the Lord was with him and brought him success in whatever he did,

4. he favored Joseph and made him his personal attendant; he put him in charge of his household and entrusted to him all his possessions.

5. From the moment that he put him in charge of his household and all his possessions, the Lord blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake; the Lord’s blessing was on everything he owned, both inside the house and out.

6. Having left everything he owned in Joseph’s charge, he gave no thought, with Joseph there, to anything but the food he ate.Now Joseph was well-built and handsome.

7. After a time, his master’s wife looked at him with longing and said, “Lie with me.”
