Joseph in Potiphar’s House

39 Now Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an Egyptian official of Pharaoh, the captain of the bodyguard, bought him ^[a]from the ^(A)Ishmaelites, who had brought him down there. ^2 (B)And Yahweh was with Joseph, so he became a ^[b]successful man. And he was in the house of his master, the Egyptian. ³ Now his master ^(C)saw that Yahweh was with him and how Yahweh ^(D)caused all that he did to succeed in his hand. ⁴ So Joseph ^(E)found favor in his sight and ^[c]attended on him; and he appointed him overseer over his house, and ^(F)all that he owned he gave in his hand. ⁵ Now it happened that from the time he appointed him overseer in his house and over all that he owned, Yahweh ^(G)blessed the Egyptian’s house on account of Joseph; thus ^(H)the blessing of Yahweh was upon all that he owned, in the house and in the field. ⁶ So he left everything he owned in Joseph’s hand; and with him there he did not ^[d]concern himself with anything except the ^[e]food which he ^[f]ate.

Now Joseph was ^(I)beautiful in form and beautiful in appearance.
