1Now Joseph was taken down to Egypt; and Potiphar the Egyptian, a captain of high position in Pharaoh's house, got him for a price from the Ishmaelites who had taken him there.
2And the Lord was with Joseph, and he did well; and he was living in the house of his master the Egyptian.
3And his master saw that the Lord was with him, making everything he did go well.
4And having a high opinion of Joseph as his servant, he made him the overseer of his house and gave him control over all he had.
5And from the time when he made him overseer and gave him control of all his property, the blessing of the Lord was with the Egyptian, because of Joseph; the blessing of the Lord was on all he had, in the house and in the field.
6And he gave Joseph control of all his property, keeping no account of anything, but only the food which was put before him. Now Joseph was very beautiful in form and face.
7And after a time, his master's wife, looking on Joseph with desire, said to him, Be my lover.
