Genesis 39

1And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmeelites, which had brought him down thither.

וְיֹוסֵף הוּרַד מִצְרָיְמָה וַיִּקְנֵהוּ פֹּוטִיפַר סְרִיס פַּרְעֹה שַׂר הַטַּבָּחִים אִישׁ מִצְרִי מִיַּד הַיִּשְׁמְעֵאלִים אֲשֶׁר הֹורִדֻהוּ שָׁמָּה׃ (4866)

2And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.

וַיְהִי יְהוָה אֶת־יֹוסֵף וַיְהִי אִישׁ מַצְלִיחַ וַיְהִי בְּבֵית אֲדֹנָיו הַמִּצְרִי׃ (1995)

3And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand.

וַיַּרְא אֲדֹנָיו כִּי יְהוָה אִתֹּו וְכֹל אֲשֶׁר־הוּא עֹשֶׂה יְהוָה מַצְלִיחַ בְּיָדֹו׃ (1921)

4And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.

וַיִּמְצָא יֹוסֵף חֵן בְּעֵינָיו וַיְשָׁרֶת אֹתֹו וַיַּפְקִדֵהוּ עַל־בֵּיתֹו וְכָל־יֶשׁ־לֹו נָתַן בְּיָדֹו׃ (3485)

5And it came to pass from the time that he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake; and the blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field.

וַיְהִי מֵאָז הִפְקִיד אֹתֹו בְּבֵיתֹו וְעַל כָּל־אֲשֶׁר יֶשׁ־לֹו וַיְבָרֶךְ יְהוָה אֶת־בֵּית הַמִּצְרִי בִּגְלַל יֹוסֵף וַיְהִי בִּרְכַּת יְהוָה בְּכָל־אֲשֶׁר יֶשׁ־לֹו בַּבַּיִת וּבַשָּׂדֶה׃ (6060)

6And he left all that he had in Joseph’s hand; and he knew not ought he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was a goodly person, and well favoured.

וַיַּעֲזֹב כָּל־אֲשֶׁר־לֹו בְּיַד־יֹוסֵף וְלֹא־יָדַע אִתֹּו מְאוּמָה כִּי אִם־הַלֶּחֶם אֲשֶׁר־הוּא אֹוכֵל וַיְהִי יֹוסֵף יְפֵה־תֹאַר וִיפֵה מַרְאֶה׃ (3428)

7And it came to pass after these things, that his master’s wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.

וַיְהִי אַחַר הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה וַתִּשָּׂא אֵשֶׁת־אֲדֹנָיו אֶת־עֵינֶיהָ אֶל־יֹוסֵף וַתֹּאמֶר שִׁכְבָה עִמִּי׃ (3848)

8But he refused, and said unto his master’s wife, Behold, my master wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand;

וַיְמָאֵן ׀ וַיֹּאמֶר אֶל־אֵשֶׁת אֲדֹנָיו הֵן אֲדֹנִי לֹא־יָדַע אִתִּי מַה־בַּבָּיִת וְכֹל אֲשֶׁר־יֶשׁ־לֹו נָתַן בְּיָדִי׃ (3701)

9There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?

אֵינֶנּוּ גָדֹול בַּבַּיִת הַזֶּה מִמֶּנִּי וְלֹא־חָשַׂךְ מִמֶּנִּי מְאוּמָה כִּי אִם־אֹותָךְ בַּאֲשֶׁר אַתְּ־אִשְׁתֹּו וְאֵיךְ אֶעֱשֶׂה הָרָעָה הַגְּדֹלָה הַזֹּאת וְחָטָאתִי לֵאלֹהִים׃ (5140)

10And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, or to be with her.

וַיְהִי כְּדַבְּרָהּ אֶל־יֹוסֵף יֹום ׀ יֹום וְלֹא־שָׁמַע אֵלֶיהָ לִשְׁכַּב אֶצְלָהּ לִהְיֹות עִמָּהּ׃ (2098)

11And it came to pass about this time, that Joseph went into the house to do his business; and there was none of the men of the house there within.

וַיְהִי כְּהַיֹּום הַזֶּה וַיָּבֹא הַבַּיְתָה לַעֲשֹׂות מְלַאכְתֹּו וְאֵין אִישׁ מֵאַנְשֵׁי הַבַּיִת שָׁם בַּבָּיִת׃ (3823)

12And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out.

וַתִּתְפְּשֵׂהוּ בְּבִגְדֹו לֵאמֹר שִׁכְבָה עִמִּי וַיַּעֲזֹב בִּגְדֹו בְּיָדָהּ וַיָּנָס וַיֵּצֵא הַחוּצָה׃ (2410)

13And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth,

וַיְהִי כִּרְאֹותָהּ כִּי־עָזַב בִּגְדֹו בְּיָדָהּ וַיָּנָס הַחוּצָה׃ (1048)

14That she called unto the men of her house, and spake unto them, saying, See, he hath brought in an Hebrew unto us to mock us; he came in unto me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice:

וַתִּקְרָא לְאַנְשֵׁי בֵיתָהּ וַתֹּאמֶר לָהֶם לֵאמֹר רְאוּ הֵבִיא לָנוּ אִישׁ עִבְרִי לְצַחֶק בָּנוּ בָּא אֵלַי לִשְׁכַּב עִמִּי וָאֶקְרָא בְּקֹול גָּדֹול׃ (4703)

15And it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled, and got him out.

וַיְהִי כְשָׁמְעֹו כִּי־הֲרִימֹתִי קֹולִי וָאֶקְרָא וַיַּעֲזֹב בִּגְדֹו אֶצְלִי וַיָּנָס וַיֵּצֵא הַחוּצָה׃ (2204)

16And she laid up his garment by her, until his lord came home.

וַתַּנַּח בִּגְדֹו אֶצְלָהּ עַד־בֹּוא אֲדֹנָיו אֶל־בֵּיתֹו׃ (1208)

17And she spake unto him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, which thou hast brought unto us, came in unto me to mock me:

וַתְּדַבֵּר אֵלָיו כַּדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה לֵאמֹר בָּא־אֵלַי הָעֶבֶד הָעִבְרִי אֲשֶׁר־הֵבֵאתָ לָּנוּ לְצַחֶק בִּי׃ (2894)

18And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled out.

וַיְהִי כַּהֲרִימִי קֹולִי וָאֶקְרָא וַיַּעֲזֹב בִּגְדֹו אֶצְלִי וַיָּנָס הַחוּצָה׃ (1251)

19And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spake unto him, saying, After this manner did thy servant to me; that his wrath was kindled.

וַיְהִי כִשְׁמֹעַ אֲדֹנָיו אֶת־דִּבְרֵי אִשְׁתֹּו אֲשֶׁר דִּבְּרָה אֵלָיו לֵאמֹר כַּדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה עָשָׂהּ לִי עַבְדֶּךָ וַיִּחַר אַפֹּו׃ (4025)

20And Joseph’s master took him, and put him into the prison, a place where the king’s prisoners were bound: and he was there in the prison.

וַיִּקַּח אֲדֹנֵי יֹוסֵף אֹתֹו וַיִּתְּנֵהוּ אֶל־בֵּית הַסֹּהַר מְקֹום אֲשֶׁר־ [אֲסוּרֵי כ] (אֲסִירֵי ק) הַמֶּלֶךְ אֲסוּרִים וַיְהִי־שָׁם בְּבֵית הַסֹּהַר׃ (4774)

21But the LORD was with Joseph, and shewed him mercy, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.

וַיְהִי יְהוָה אֶת־יֹוסֵף וַיֵּט אֵלָיו חָסֶד וַיִּתֵּן חִנֹּו בְּעֵינֵי שַׂר בֵּית־הַסֹּהַר׃ (2612)

22And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph’s hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer of it.

וַיִּתֵּן שַׂר בֵּית־הַסֹּהַר בְּיַד־יֹוסֵף אֵת כָּל־הָאֲסִירִם אֲשֶׁר בְּבֵית הַסֹּהַר וְאֵת כָּל־אֲשֶׁר עֹשִׂים שָׁם הוּא הָיָה עֹשֶׂה׃ (5897)

23The keeper of the prison looked not to any thing that was under his hand; because the LORD was with him, and that which he did, the LORD made it to prosper.

אֵין ׀ שַׂר בֵּית־הַסֹּהַר רֹאֶה אֶת־כָּל־מְאוּמָה בְּיָדֹו בַּאֲשֶׁר יְהוָה אִתֹּו וַאֲשֶׁר־הוּא עֹשֶׂה יְהוָה מַצְלִיחַ׃ (4048)
