39:8. But he in no wise consenting to that wicked act said to her: Behold, my master hath delivered all things to me, and knoweth not what he hath in his own house: 39:9. Neither is there any thing which is not in my power, or that he hath not delivered to me, but thee, who art his wife; how then can I do this wicked thing, and sin against my God? 39:10. With such words as these day by day, both the woman was importunate with the young man, and he refused the adultery. 39:11. Now it happened on a certain day, that Joseph went into the house, and was doing some business, without any man with him: 39:12. And she catching the skirt of his garment, said: Lie with me. But he leaving the garment in her hand, fled, and went out. 39:13. And when the woman saw the garment in her hands, and herself disregarded, 39:14. She called to her the men of her house, and said to them: See, he hath brought in a Hebrew, to abuse us: he came in to me, to lie with me; and when I cried out, 39:15. And he heard my voice, he left the garment that I held, and got him out. 39:16. For a proof therefore of her fidelity, she kept the garment, and shewed it to her husband when he returned home: A proof of her fidelity.... or an argument to gain credit, argumentum fidei. 39:17. And said: The Hebrew servant, whom thou hast brought, came to me to abuse me. 39:18. And when he heard me cry, he left the garment which I held, and fled out. 39:19. His master hearing these things, and giving too much credit to his wife’s words, was very angry, 39:20. And cast Joseph into the prison, where the king’s prisoners were kept, and he was there shut up. 39:21. But the Lord was with Joseph, and having mercy upon him gave him favour in the sight of the chief keeper of the prison: 39:22. Who delivered into his hand all the prisoners that were kept in custody: and whatsoever was done, was under him. 39:23. Neither did he himself know any thing, having committed all things to him: for the Lord was with him, and made all that he did to prosper. Genesis Chapter 40 Joseph interpreteth the dreams of two of Pharao’s servants in prison: the event declareth the interpretations to be true, but Joseph is forgotten. 40:1. After this, it came to pass, that two eunuchs, the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, offended their lord. 40:2. And Pharao being angry with them, (now the one was chief butler, the other chief baker,) 40:3. He sent them to the prison of the commander of the soldiers, in which Joseph also was prisoner. 40:4. But the keeper of the prison delivered them to Joseph, and he served them. Some little time passed, and they were kept in custody. 40:5. And they both dreamed a dream the same night, according to the interpretation agreeing to themselves: 40:6. And when Joseph was come into them in the morning, and saw them sad, 40:7. He asked them, saying: Why is your countenance sadder today than usual?
