Joseph Flees

7And after these things, his master's wife cast her eyes on Joseph and said, “Lie with me.”

8But he refused and said to his master's wife, "Look, my master does not concern himself with what is in the house, and everything that belongs to him he has put into my hand."

9There is no one greater in this house than I am, and he has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. So how could I do this great evil and sin against God?

10And it happened, as she spoke to Joseph day after day, that he did not listen to her, to lie beside her or to be with her.

11And it happened on such a day that he went into the house to do his work, and none of the men of the house was there in the house.

12Then she grabbed him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me!” But he left his garment in her hand and fled and went outside.

13And it happened, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had fled outside,

14Then she called the men of her household and said to them, “Look, he has brought a Hebrew man to us to mock us. He came in to me to lie with me, and I cried out with a loud voice.”

15And when he heard that I had raised my voice and cried out, he left his garment beside me and fled and went outside.

16So she kept his garment beside her until his master came home.

17Then she spoke to him with words like these, saying, “The Hebrew servant whom you brought to us came to me to mock me.”

18And when I raised my voice and cried out, he left his garment beside me and fled outside.
