1 When Joseph had been taken down to Egypt, Potiphar, Pharaoh’s chief officer, the commander of the royal guard and an Egyptian, purchased him from the Ishmaelites who had brought him down there.
2 The Lord was with Joseph, and he became a successful man and served in his Egyptian master’s household.
3 His master saw that the Lord was with him and that the Lord made everything he did successful.
4 Potiphar thought highly of Joseph, and Joseph became his assistant; he appointed Joseph head of his household and put everything he had under Joseph’s supervision.
