Genesis 39:14-20
New American Standard Bible
14 she called to the men of her household and said to them, “See, he has brought in a [a]Hebrew to us to make fun of us; he came in to me to sleep with me, and I [b]screamed. 15 When he heard that I raised my voice and [c]screamed, he left his garment beside me and fled and went outside.” 16 So she [d]left his garment beside her until his master came home. 17 Then she (A)spoke to him [e]with these [f]words: “The Hebrew slave, whom you brought to us, came in to me to make fun of me; 18 but when I raised my voice and [g]screamed, he left his garment beside me and fled outside.”
Joseph Imprisoned
19 Now when his master heard the words of his wife which she spoke to him, saying, “[h]This is what your slave did to me,” (B)his anger burned. 20 So Joseph’s master took him and (C)put him into the prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined; and he was there in the prison.
