Context Readings

Joseph In Potiphar's House

9 He himself is not greater in the house than I, and hath kept nothing from me, but only thee because thou art his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness, for to sin against God?" 10 And after this manner spake she to Joseph day by day; but he hearkened not unto her, to sleep near her or to be in her company. 11 And it fortuned about the same season, that Joseph entered into the house, to do his business: and there was none of the household by, in the house.
