The LORD was with Joseph,  and he became a successful man, serving  in the household of his Egyptian master.

He left all that he owned under Joseph’s authority;  he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate. Now Joseph was well-built and handsome.

The warden put all the prisoners who were in the prison under Joseph’s authority,  and he was responsible for everything that was done there.

and had him thrown into prison,  where the king’s prisoners were confined. So Joseph was there in prison. But the LORD was with Joseph and extended kindness to him.  He granted him favor with the prison warden.

After some time his master’s wife looked longingly at Joseph and said, “Sleep with me.” But he refused. “Look,” he said to his master’s wife, “with me here my master does not concern himself with anything in his house, and he has put all that he owns under my authority.  No one in this house is greater than I am. He has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. So how could I do this immense evil, and how could I sin against God? ”

Now one day he went into the house to do his work, and none of the household servants were there.  She grabbed him by his garment and said, “Sleep with me! ” But leaving his garment in her hand, he escaped and ran outside.
