1 When Joseph was taken down to Egypt, an Egyptian, Potiphar, an official of Pharaoh and his chief steward, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had brought him there.
2 The Lord was with Joseph and he enjoyed great success and was assigned to the household of his Egyptian master.
3 When his master saw that the Lord was with him and brought him success in whatever he did,
4 he favored Joseph and made him his personal attendant; he put him in charge of his household and entrusted to him all his possessions.
5 From the moment that he put him in charge of his household and all his possessions, the Lord blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake; the Lord’s blessing was on everything he owned, both inside the house and out.
