1Joseph was brought down to Egypt. Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh`s, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the hand of the Ishmaelites that had brought him down there.
2Yahweh was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man. He was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
3His master saw that Yahweh was with him, and that Yahweh made all that he did prosper in his hand.
4Joseph found favor in his sight. He ministered to him, and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.
5It happened from the time that he made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that Yahweh blessed the Egyptian`s house for Joseph`s sake; and the blessing of Yahweh was on all that he had, in the house and in the field.
6He left all that he had in Joseph`s hand. He didn`t concern himself with anything, except for the food which he ate. Joseph was handsome, and well-favored.
7It happened after these things, that his master`s wife cast her eyes on Joseph; and she said, "Lie with me."
