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.
5 From then on, because of Joseph the Lord blessed the household of the Egyptian and everything that he had in his house and in his fields.
6 Potiphar handed over everything he had to the care of Joseph and did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate.Joseph was well-built and good-looking,
7 and after a while his master's wife began to desire Joseph and asked him to go to bed with her.
