Joseph Serves in Egypt

1Joseph had been brought down to Egypt, and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had brought him down there.

2Yahweh was with Joseph, and he became a successful man; and he was in the house of his Egyptian master.

3His master saw that Yahweh was with him, and that Yahweh made prosper in his hand all that he did.

4And Joseph found favor in his eyes and served him, and he appointed him over his house and put all that he had into his hand.

5And from the time he appointed him over his house and over all that he had, Yahweh blessed the Egyptian’s house because of Joseph, and Yahweh’s blessing was on all that he had, in the house and in the field.

6So he left all that he had in Joseph’s hand, and he knew nothing with him except the food that he ate. Now Joseph was handsome in form and handsome in appearance.
