But he refused and said to his master's wife, "Lo, having me my master has no concern about anything in the house, and he has put everything that he has in my hand;

he is not greater in this house than I am; nor has he kept back anything from me except yourself, because you are his wife; how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?"

But one day, when he went into the house to do his work and none of the men of the house was there in the house,

she caught him by his garment, saying, "Lie with me." But he left his garment in her hand, and fled and got out of the house.

He restored the chief butler to his butlership, and he placed the cup in Pharaoh's hand;

So in the morning his spirit was troubled; and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt and all its wise men; and Pharaoh told them his dream, but there was none who could interpret it to Pharaoh.

When Pharaoh was angry with his servants, and put me and the chief baker in custody in the house of the captain of the guard,
