²² The keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners who were in the prison. Whatever they did there, he was the doer of it.

⁴ Joseph found favor in his sight. He ministered to him, and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.

³ He put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound.

⁴ The captain of the guard assigned them to Joseph, and he took care of them. They stayed in prison many days.

⁶ He left all that he had in Joseph's hand. He didn't concern himself with anything, except for the food which he ate. Joseph was well-built and handsome.

⁷ It happened after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes on Joseph; and she said, "Lie with me."

⁹ He isn't greater in this house than I, neither has he kept back anything from me but you, because you are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?"

³⁰ Therefore Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, I said indeed that your house, and the house of your father, should walk before me forever: but now Yahweh says, Be it far from me; for those who honor me I will honor, and those who despise me shall be lightly esteemed.

³ Trust in Yahweh, and do good. Dwell in the land, and enjoy safe pasture.

¹¹ But the humble shall inherit the land, And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
