Genesis 39:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 So Joseph found favor in his sight, and served him: and made him [a]ruler of his house, and put all that he had in his hand.
5 And from that time that he had made him ruler over his house and over all that he had, the Lord [b]blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake: and the blessing of the Lord was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field.
6 Therefore he left all that he had in Joseph’s hand, [c]and took account of nothing, that was with him, save only of the bread, which he did eat. And Joseph was a fair person, and well favored.
