5 From the time that he put him in charge of his household and of all that he owned, the Lord blessed the Egyptian’s house because of Joseph.(A) The Lord’s blessing was on all that he owned, in his house and in his fields. 6 He left all that he owned under Joseph’s authority;[a] he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate.
Now Joseph was well-built and handsome.(B) 7 After some time[b] his master’s wife looked longingly at Joseph and said, “Sleep with me.”
