創世記第39章

1約瑟被帶下埃及去。有一個埃及人,是法老的內臣─護衛長波提乏,從那些帶下他來的以實瑪利人手下買了他去。

2約瑟住在他主人埃及人的家中,耶和華與他同在,他就百事順利。
3他主人見耶和華與他同在,又見耶和華使他手裡所辦的盡都順利,
4約瑟就在主人眼前蒙恩,伺候他主人,並且主人派他管理家務,把一切所有的都交在他手裡。
5自從主人派約瑟管理家務和他一切所有的,耶和華就因約瑟的緣故賜福與那埃及人的家;凡家裡和田間一切所有的都蒙耶和華賜福。
6波提乏將一切所有的都交在約瑟的手中,除了自己所吃的飯,別的事一概不知。約瑟原來秀雅俊美。
7這事以後,約瑟主人的妻以目送情給約瑟,說:「你與我同寢吧!」

8約瑟不從,對他主人的妻說:「看哪,一切家務,我主人都不知道;他把所有的都交在我手裡。
9在這家裡沒有比我大的;並且他沒有留下一樣不交給我,只留下了你,因為你是他的妻子。我怎能作這大惡,得罪 神呢?」
10後來她天天和約瑟說,約瑟卻不聽從她,不與她同寢,也不和她在一處。
11有一天,約瑟進屋裡去辦事,家中人沒有一個在那屋裡,
12婦人就拉住他的衣裳,說:「你與我同寢吧!」約瑟把衣裳丟在婦人手裡,跑到外邊去了。

14就叫了家裡的人來,對他們說:「你們看!他帶了一個希伯來人進入我們家裡,要戲弄我們。他到我這裡來,要與我同寢,我就大聲喊叫。
15他聽見我放聲喊起來,就把衣裳丟在我這裡,跑到外邊去了。」
16婦人把約瑟的衣裳放在自己那裡,等著他主人回家,
17就對他如此如此說:「你所帶到我們這裡的那希伯來僕人進來要戲弄我,
18我放聲喊起來,他就把衣裳丟在我這裡,跑出去了。」

19約瑟的主人聽見他妻子對他所說的話,說「你的僕人如此如此待我」,他就生氣,
20把約瑟下在監裡,就是王的囚犯被囚的地方。於是約瑟在那裡坐監。

21但耶和華與約瑟同在,向他施恩,使他在司獄的眼前蒙恩。
22司獄就把監裡所有的囚犯都交在約瑟的手下;他們在那裡所辦的事都是經他的手。
23凡在約瑟手下的事,司獄一概不察,因為耶和華與約瑟同在;耶和華使他所做的盡都順利。
