|
|
6. And he committed all that he had into the hands of Joseph; and he knew not of anything that belonged to him, save the bread which he himself ate. And Joseph was handsome in form, and exceedingly beautiful in countenance.

|
|
9. and in this house there is nothing above me, nor has anything been kept back from me, but thou, because thou art his wife—how then shall I do this wicked thing, and sin against God?
|
9. There is none H369 greater H1419 in this H2088 house H1004 than H4480 I; neither H3808 hath he kept back H2820 any thing H3972 from H4480 me but H3588 H518 thee, because H834 thou H859 art his wife H802 : how H349 then can I do H6213 this H2063 great H1419 wickedness H7451 , and sin H2398 against God H430 ?
|
|
10. And when she talked with Joseph day by day, and he hearkened not to her to sleep with her, so as to be with her,

|
|
15. And when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, having left his clothes with me, he fled, and went forth out.
|
15. And it came to pass H1961 , when he heard H8085 that H3588 I lifted up H7311 my voice H6963 and cried H7121 , that he left H5800 his garment H899 with H681 me , and fled H5127 , and got H3318 him out H2351 .

|
18. And when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, having left his clothes with me, he fled and departed forth.

|
|
23. Because of him the chief keeper of the prison knew nothing, for all things were in the hand of Joseph, because the Lord was with him; and whatever things he did, the Lord made them to prosper in his hands.
