Bereshit 39:1-23 בראשית ל״ט:א׳-כ״ג

Yoseif was brought down to Egypt. He was purchased by Potiphar—an officer of Pharaoh, the chief of the slaughterers, an Egyptian—from the Yishmaelites who had brought him down there.

Adonoy was with Yoseif, and he was successful. He was [a servant] in the house of his master, the Egyptian.

His master saw that Adonoy was with him, and that whatever he did, Adonoy made it succeed through his hand.

Yoseif found favor in his eyes, and he served him personally. He appointed him supervisor over his household, and all that he possessed he placed in his hand.

From the time he appointed him supervisor over his household and over all that he possessed, Adonoy blessed the house of the Egyptian for Yoseif’s sake. The blessing of Adonoy was in all that he possessed, in the house and in the field.

He left everything he possessed in the hand of Yoseif. He did not concern himself with anything about him, except for the bread he ate. Yoseif was well-built and good looking.

After these events, his master’s wife cast her eyes upon Yoseif, and she said, Be with me.

He refused and said to his master’s wife, Behold, my master knows nothing about what I am doing in the house, and all that he possess, he has placed in my hands.

No one in this house is greater than me. He has not withheld anything from me other than you, for you are his wife. How can I do such a great evil, and sin against God.

Even though she spoke to Yoseif every day, he would not listen to her, to lie next to her, [nor] to be with her.

It was on such a day, that he came to the house to do his work. No man of the household was there in the house.

She grabbed him by his garment, saying, Be with me. He left his garment in her hand, and fled, and he went outside.

It was when she saw that he left his garment in her hand and had fled outside,

that she called to the men of the household and said to them, See, he brought us a Hebrew man to mock us. He came to be with me, and I called out in a loud voice.

When he heard that I raised my voice and cried out, he left his garment with me, and fled and went outside.

She laid his garment near her until his master came home.

She spoke to him [her husband] according to these words, saying, The Hebrew slave came to me—the same one you brought into us—[he came to] mock me.

When I raised my voice and cried out, he left his garment with me and fled outside.

When his master heard the words of his wife which she spoke to him, saying, Your slave did such things to me, he became furious.

Yoseif’s master took him and placed him in the prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were jailed. He remained there in the prison.

Adonoy was with Yoseif, and extended kindness to him, granting him favor in the eyes of the prison chief.

The prison chief gave Yoseif control over all the prisoners in the prison, and everything that had to be done there, he was the one who did it.

The prison chief did not have to look after anything that was under his hand, because Adonoy was with him and whatever he did, Adonoy made him succeed.
