Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an Egyptian officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the bodyguard, bought him ^[a]from the ^(a)Ishmaelites, who had taken him down there.

^(b)The Lord was with Joseph, so he became a ^[b]successful man. And he was in the house of his master, the Egyptian.

Now his master ^(c)saw that the Lord was with him and how the Lord ^(d)caused all that he did to prosper in his hand.

So Joseph ^(e)found favor in his sight and ^[c]became his personal servant; and he made him overseer over his house, and ^(f)all that he owned he put in his ^[d]charge.

It came about that from the time he made him overseer in his house and over all that he owned, the Lord ^(g)blessed the Egyptian's house on account of Joseph; thus ^(h)the Lord's blessing was upon all that he owned, in the house and in the field.

So he left everything he owned in Joseph's ^[e]charge; and with him there he did not ^[f]concern himself with anything except the ^[g]food which he ^[h]ate. Now Joseph was ⁽ⁱ⁾handsome in form and appearance.
