1 Now the Ishmaelites had taken Joseph to Egypt and sold him to Potiphar, one of the king's officers, who was the captain of the palace guard.
2 The Lord was with Joseph and made him successful. He lived in the house of his Egyptian master,
3 who saw that the Lord was with Joseph and had made him successful in everything he did.
4 Potiphar was pleased with him and made him his personal servant; so he put him in charge of his house and everything he owned.
