Genesis 39:4

Joseph In Potiphar's House

³ Now his master saw that the Lord was with him and that the Lord caused all that he did to prosper (succeed) in his hand. ⁴ So Joseph pleased Potiphar and found favor in his sight and he served him as his personal servant. He made Joseph overseer over his house, and he put all that he owned in Joseph’s charge. ⁵ It happened that from the time that he made Joseph overseer in his house and [put him in charge] over all that he owned, that the Lord blessed the Egyptian’s house because of Joseph; so the Lord’s blessing was on everything that Potiphar owned, in the house and in the field.
