7 And it came to pass after
these things, that his master’s wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with
me.

8 But he refused, and said
unto his master’s wife, Behold, my master wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he hath
committed all that he hath to my hand;

9 There is none greater in
this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his
wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?

10 And it came to pass, as
she spake to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, or to be with
her.

11 And it came to pass
about this time, that Joseph went into the house to do his business; and there was none of the
men of the house there within.

12 And she caught him by
his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him
out.

(Genesis 39:7-12, King James Version)
