And it came about after these events ^(C1)that his master's wife ^(F1)had her eyes on Joseph, and she said, "^(C2)Sleep with me."

But ^(C1)he refused and said to his master's wife, "Look, with me here, my master ^(F1)does not concern himself with anything in the house, and he has ^(F2)put me in charge of all that he owns.

"^(F1)(C1)There is no one greater in this house than I, and he has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do this great evil, and ^(C2)sin against God?"

^(F1)When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had fled outside,

she called to the men of her household and said to them, "See, he has brought in a ^(F1)Hebrew to us to make fun of us; he came in to me to sleep with me, and I ^(F2)screamed.

"When he heard that I raised my voice and ^(F1)screamed, he left his garment beside me and fled and went outside."

Then she ^(C1)spoke to him ^(F1)with these ^(F2)words: "The Hebrew slave, whom you brought to us, came in to me to make fun of me;

but when I raised my voice and ^(F1)screamed, he left his garment beside me and fled outside."

So Joseph's master took him and ^(C1)put him into the prison, the place where the king's prisoners were confined; and he was there in the prison.
