39:1

Yusaph in the Mitzrayim Matrix and the Trial of Integrity

And Yusaph was brought down to Mitzrayim; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, a Mitzrite, bought him of the hands of the Yishma’elites, which had brought him down thither.

39:2

And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 was with Yusaph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his Adun the Mitzrite.

39:3

And his Adun saw that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 was with him, and that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 made all that he did to prosper in his hand.

39:4

And Yusaph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.

39:5

The Stewardship of the House

And it came to pass from the time that he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 blessed the Mitzrite's house for Yusaph's sake; and the blessing of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field.

39:6

And he left all that he had in Yusaph's hand; and he knew not ought he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Yusaph was a goodly person, and well favored.

39:7

The Trial of the Garment

And it came to pass after these things, that his Adun's wife cast her eyes upon Yusaph; and she said, "Lie with me."

39:8

But he refused, and said unto his Adun's wife, "Behold, my Adun wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he had to my hand;

39:9

There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against Alahiym?"
