Genesis 39:7 · ZARZA Bible

In context

5From the time he put him in charge of his household and all he owned, Yahweh blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake; the blessing of Yahweh was on everything he had, in the house and in the field. 6So he left everything he had in Joseph’s care; with Joseph there, he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate. Now Joseph was well built and handsome, 7and after a while his master’s wife looked at him with desire and said, “Sleep with me.” 8But he refused. “Look,” he told his master’s wife, “with me here, my master does not concern himself with anything in this house; he has entrusted everything he owns to my care. 9No one in this house is greater than I am. He has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?”
