UGenesise 39:1-6

UJosefa wehliselwa eGibithe; uPotifari inceku kaFaro, induna yemilindankosi, owaseGibithe, wamthenga esandleni sabakwa-Ishmayeli ababemehlisele khona. UJehova wayenaye uJosefa, waba ngumuntu onenhlanhla; wayesendlini yenkosi yakhe yaseGibithe. Inkosi yakhe yabona ukuthi uJehova unaye nokuthi konke akwenzayo uJehova wakuphumelelisa esandleni sakhe. UJosefa wafumana umusa emehlweni ayo, wayikhonza; yambeka abe yinduna phezu kwendlu yayo, nakho konke okwayo yakunikela esandleni sakhe. Kusukela kuleso sikhathi embeke ngaso ukuba abe yinduna phezu kwendlu yayo naphezu kwakho konke okwayo, uJehova wabusisa indlu yowaseGibithe ngenxa kaJosefa; isibusiso sikaJehova sasikukho konke okwayo endlini nasensimini. Yashiya konke okwayo esandleni sikaJosefa; yayingazi lutho olwayo, ukudla eyakudlayo kuphela. UJosefa wayengumgembeleza, eyigeza.
