Genesis 39:2
And the Lord was with him, and he was a prosperous man in all things: and he dwelt in his master’s house,

Genesis 39:3
Who knew very well that the Lord was with him, and made all that he did to prosper in his hand.

Genesis 39:4
And Joseph found favour in the sight of his master, and ministered to him: and being set over all by him, he governed the house committed to him, and all things that were delivered to him:

Genesis 39:5
And the Lord blessed the house of the egyptian for Joseph’s sake, and multiplied all his substance, both at home, and in the fields.

Genesis 39:6
Neither knew he any other thing, but the bread which he ate. And Joseph was of a beautiful countenance, and comely to behold.

Genesis 39:7
h And after many days his mistress ‘cast her eyes on Joseph, and said: Lie with me.

Genesis 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:

Genesis 39:9
Neither is there any thing which is hot 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 I sin against my God?

Genesis 39:10
With such words as these day by day, both the woman was importunate with the young man, and he refused the adultery.

Genesis 39:11
Now it happened on it certain day, that Joseph went into the house, and was doing some business without any, man with him:

Genesis 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.

Genesis 39:13
And when the woman saw the garment in her hands, and herself disregarded,

Genesis 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,

Genesis 39:15
And he heard my voice, he left the garment that I held, and got him out.

Genesis 39:16
For a proof therefore of her fidelity, she kept the garment, and shewed it to her husband when he returned home:

Genesis 39:17
And said: The Hebrew servant, whom thou best brought, came to me to abuse me.

Genesis 39:18
And when he heard me cry, he left the garment which I held, and fled out.

Genesis 39:19
His master hearing these things, and giving too much credit to his wife’s words, was very angry.

Genesis 39:20
And cast Joseph into the prison, where the king’s prisoners were kept, and he was there shut up.

Genesis 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:

Genesis 39:22
Who delivered into his hand all the prisoners that were kept in custody: and whatsoever was done was under him.

Genesis 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.

Introduction to the Douay-Rheims Bible

The Douay-Rheims Bible is an English translation of the Latin Vulgate, a 4th-century Latin translation of the Bible. It was published in the late 16th and early 17th centuries for English-speaking Catholics. The New Testament was published in 1582 and the Old Testament in 1609-10. It is considered one of the most influential English Bibles of the time. The Douay-Rheims Bible differs from other versions in several ways: Translation source: Unlike many other English Bibles that were translated from the original Greek and Hebrew texts, the Douay-Rheims was translated from the Latin Vulgate, which was the standard version of the Bible for the Catholic Church for many centuries. Language: The Douay-Rheims uses an archaic form of English, making it difficult for modern readers to understand. Theology: The Douay-Rheims reflects the theology of the Catholic Church, including its views on the authority of the Pope and the sacraments. Footnotes and commentary: The Douay-Rhe...
