Genesis 39:7-18

New American Standard Bible

⁷ And it came about after these events ^(A)that his master’s wife ^[a]had her eyes on Joseph, and she said, “^(B)Sleep with me.” ⁸ But ^(C)he refused and said to his master’s wife, “Look, with me here, my master ^[b]does not concern himself with anything in the house, and he has ^[c]put me in charge of all that he owns. ^9 [d](D)There is no one greater in this house than I, and he has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do this great evil, and ^(E)sin against God?” ¹⁰ Though she spoke to Joseph day after day, he did not listen to her to lie beside her or be with her. ¹¹ Now it happened ^[e]one day that he went into the house to do his work, and none of the people of the household was there inside. ¹² So she grabbed him by his garment, saying, “Sleep with me!” But he left his garment in her hand and fled, and went outside. ^13 [f]When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had fled outside, ¹⁴ she called to the men of her household and said to them, “See, he has brought in a ^[g]Hebrew to us to make fun of us; he came in to me to sleep with me, and I ^[h]screamed. ¹⁵ When he heard that I raised my voice and ^[i]screamed, he left his garment beside me and fled and went outside.” ¹⁶ So she ^[j]left his garment beside her until his master came home. ¹⁷ Then she ^(F)spoke to him ^[k]with these ^[l]words: “The Hebrew slave, whom you brought to us, came in to me to make fun of me; ¹⁸ but when I raised my voice and ^[m]screamed, he left his garment beside me and fled outside.”
