1 Now Joseph was brought down to Egypt, and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had brought him down there.
2 The Lord was with Joseph, so that he became a prosperous man. He was in the house of his master, the Egyptian.
3 His master saw that the Lord was with him and that the Lord made all that he did to prosper.
4 Joseph found favor in his sight and served him. So he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put under his charge.
