Genesis 39:10-23

Genesis 39:10-23 TPT

Yet day after day, she was determined to seduce him. But Joseph continually refused her advances and would not even go near her. 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! Realizing he had fled, and she was holding his robe in her hands, she called for her household servants and said to them, “See! My husband brings this Hebrew foreigner here to make fools of us! He barged into my house and tried to have sex with me, and I screamed; and when he heard me scream for help, he ran out of the house and left his robe!” She kept the robe beside her until his master came home and she told him the same story: “This Hebrew foreigner you brought among us barged into the house and tried to violate me. As soon as I screamed out for help, he ran outside and left his robe here beside me.” When his master heard his wife’s account about how his servant had treated her, he became furious. 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. The warden put all the prisoners under Joseph’s care; he was placed in charge of all the prisoners and everything in the prison. The warden had no worries about the prison with Joseph in charge, because YAHWEH’s presence was with Joseph and caused everything Joseph did to prosper.
