YAHWEH’s presence was with Joseph and he became successful while living in the house of his Egyptian master.

So Potiphar placed all that he owned under Joseph’s oversight. And with Joseph in charge, Potiphar had nothing to worry about, except deciding on what to eat! Now Joseph was strikingly handsome, very good-looking, and well-built.

The warden put all the prisoners under Joseph’s care; he was placed in charge of all the prisoners and everything in the prison.

So Joseph’s master took him and threw him into prison, the place where the king’s prisoners are confined, and he was left there. But YAHWEH was with Joseph and demonstrated to him his faithful love by giving him great favor in the sight of the warden.

It wasn’t long before his master’s wife noticed Joseph. She demanded: “Come make love to me.” “Never!” Joseph replied. “Don’t you realize that my master has nothing to worry about with me in charge, for he has put everything he has under my care? There is no one greater in his household than me, nor has he kept anything back from me except you, because you’re his wife. Why would I want to do such an immoral thing and sin against God?”

Then one day, when he had to go into the house to do his work and no one else was there, she grabbed him by his robe and said, “Come on, sleep with me!” But he abruptly ran out of the house, leaving his robe in her hands!
