Chap. XXXIX.
Ioseph being in great credite with his maister, hath the whole charge of his
house. 7. Contemning his mystris solicitation to incontinencie, 13. is falsly
accused by her to his maister: 20. and cast into prison, 21. Where againe
he getteth credite, and hath the charge of al the prisoners.
1 Therfore Ioseph was brought into Ægypt, and Putiphar
an Eunuch of Pharao, prince of his armie, a man
of Ægypt bought him, at the hand of the Ismaelites, by
whom he was brought.
2 And note our Lord was with him,
and he was a man, that in al things did prosperously: and
he dwelt in his maisters house,
3 who knewe verie wel that
our Lord was with him, and that al thinges which he did,
were directed by him in his hand.
4 And Ioseph found grace
before his maister, and ministred to him: by whom being
made ruler ouer al his thinges, he gouerned the house committed
to him, and al thinges that were deliuered vnto
him:
5 and our Lord blessed the house of the Ægyptian
for Iosephes sake, and multiplied as wel in houses, as in
landes al his substance.
6 Neither knew he any other
thing, but the bread which he did eate. note And Ioseph was of
beautiful countenance, and comely fauored to behold.
7 After manie dayes therfore his maistresse cast her eyes on
Ioseph, and said: Sleepe with me.
8 Who note in no wise assenting
to that wicked act, said to her: Behold, my maister
hauing deliuered al thinges vnto me, knoweth not what
he hath in his owne house:
9 neither is there any thing
-- --
Ioseph.
which is not in my power, or that he hath not deliuered to
me, beside thee, that art his wife: note how therfore can I do
this wicked thing, and sinne against my God?
10 With these
kinde of wordes note day by day both the woman was importune
vpon the young man: and he refused the aduoutrie.
11 And it chanced on a certaine day, that Ioseph went into
the house, and did some businesse without anie man with
him:
12 and she catching the skirte of his garment, said:
Sleepe with me. who note leauing the cloke in her hand, fled,
and went forth abroad.
13 And when the woman sawe the
garment in her handes, and her selfe to be contemned,
14 she
called to her the men of her house, and said to them: See he
hath brought in an Hebrew, to delude vs: he came vpon me,
for to lie with me: and when I had cried out,
15 and he heard
my voice, he left the cloake that I held, and fled forth.
16 For
an argument therfore of her credite, she reserued the cloake,
and shewed it to her husband returning home,
17 and said:
There came vnto me the Hebrew seruant, whom thou didest
bring hither, for to delude me:
18 and when he heard me
crie, he left the cloke which I held, and fled forth.
19 His
maister hearing these thinges, and geuing ouer light credite
to his wiues wordes, was very wrath:
20 and deliuered Ioseph
into prison, where the kinges prisoners were kept, and he
was there shut vp.
21 And note our Lord was with Ioseph, and
hauing mercie vpon him gaue him grace in the sight of the
chiefe of the prison.
22 Who deliuered in his hand al the prisoners
that were kept in custodie: and whatsoeuer was done,
was vnder him.
23 Neyther did himselfe knowe any thing,
hauing committed al things to him: for our Lord was with
him, and directed al his workes.
