Tree Of Life Version

Genesis 39:7-18 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

7. Now after these things, the master’s wife lifted up her eyes at Joseph and said, “Come, lie down with me!”

8. But he refused. “Look,” he said to his master’s wife, “my master doesn’t think about anything in the house with me in charge, and everything that belongs to him he’s entrusted into my hand.

9. No one in this house is greater than I, and he has withheld nothing from me—except you, because you are his wife. So how could I commit this great evil and sin against God?”

10. So whenever she spoke to Joseph, day after day, he did not listen to her invitation to lie down beside her, to be with her.

11. Now on one such day, he came into the house to do his work, and none of the people of the house were there in the house.

12. Then she grabbed him by his garment saying, “Come, lie with me!” But he left his garment in her hand, fled and went outside.

13. When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and fled outside,

14. she screamed to the men of her house and said to them, “Look! Someone brought a Hebrew man to us to fool with us. He approached me to lie with me so I screamed out loud.

15. When he heard me raise my voice and scream, he left his garment with me, fled and went outside.”

16. Then she kept the garment with her until his master came home.

17. She spoke the same words to him saying, “The Hebrew slave that you brought us approached me to fool with me.

18. When I raised my voiced and screamed, he left his garment with me and fled outside.”
