IGenesisi 39:1-6

UJosefa bamthatha baya naye eGibhithe, uPotifari, esinye sezikhulu zikaFaro, umphathi wabaqaphi, wamthenga kwabakwa-Ishmayeli ababefike naye. USimakade wayenaye uJosefa, wamphumelelisa kukho konke. UJosefa wahlala endlini yenkosi yakhe yaseGibhithe. Inkosi yakhe yabona ukuthi uNkulunkulu unaye, nokuthi uNkulunkulu uyakuphumelelisa konke akwenzayo, ngakho-ke uJosefa wafumana umusa phambi kwayo, waba yinceku yayo; yamenza waba ngumphathi wendlu yayo, wengamela konke eyayinakho. Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi eyambeka ngaso, waba ngumphathi wendlu yayo, nakho konke eyayinakho; uSimakade wawubusisa umuzi walowo mGibhithe, nakho konke ayenakho. Isibusiso sikaSimakade sasiphezu kwakho konke uPotifari ayenakho endlini nasemasimini. Ngakho-ke uPotifari wakubeka konke ayenakho esandleni sikaJosefa, akabe esazihlupha ngalutho, ngaphandle kokudla okwakufanele akudle. UJosefa wayeyigeza, enesiqu, ebukeka kahle.
