in her hand, and was fled forth,
01:039:014 That she called unto the men of her house, and spake unto
them, saying, See, he hath brought in an Hebrew unto us to
mock us; he came in unto me to lie with me, and I cried with a
loud voice:

and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled, and got
him out.

me to mock me:

he left his garment with me, and fled out.

the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatsoever they did
there, he was the doer of it.

under his hand; because the LORD was with him, and that which
he did, the LORD made it to prosper.
