Genesis 39:11

Verse 11 of 23. The 39th of 50 chapters in Genesis, in The Law.

7After these things, his master’s wife set her eyes on Joseph; and she said, “Lie with me.”

8But he refused, and said to his master’s wife, “Behold, my master doesn’t know what is with me in the house, and he has put all that he has into my hand.

9No one is greater in this house than I am, and he has not kept back anything from me but you, because you are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?”

10As she spoke to Joseph day by day, he didn’t listen to her, to lie by her, or to be with her.

11About this time, he went into the house to do his work, and there were none of the men of the house inside.

12She caught him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me!” He left his garment in her hand, and ran outside.

13When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and had run outside,

14she called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, “Behold, he has brought a Hebrew in to us to mock us. He came in to me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice.

15When he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, he left his garment by me, and ran outside.”
