Genesis 39:4-6
New American Standard Bible
4 So Joseph (A)found favor in his sight and [a]became his personal servant; and he made him overseer over his house, and [b]put him in charge of (B)all that he owned. 5 It came about that from the time he made him overseer in his house and over all that he owned, the Lord (C)blessed the Egyptian’s house on account of Joseph; so (D)the Lord’s blessing was upon all that he owned, in the house and in the field. 6 So he left [c]Joseph in charge of everything that he owned; and with him there he did not [d]concern himself with anything except the [e]food which he [f]ate.
Now Joseph was (E)handsome in form and appearance.

New King James Version
4 So Joseph (A)found favor in his sight, and served him. Then he made him (B)overseer of his house, and all that he had he put [a]under his authority. 5 So it was, from the time that he had made him overseer of his house and all that he had, that (C)the Lord blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake; and the blessing of the Lord was on all that he had in the house and in the field. 6 Thus he left all that he had in Joseph’s [b]hand, and he did not know what he had except for the [c]bread which he ate.
Now Joseph (D)was handsome in form and appearance.
