4 So Joseph (A)found favor in his sight and (a)became his personal servant; and he made him overseer over his house, and (B)all that he owned he put in his (b)charge. 5 It came about that from the time he made him overseer in his house and over all that he owned, the Lord (C)blessed the Egyptian’s house on account of Joseph; thus (D)the Lord’s blessing was upon all that he owned, in the house and in the field. 6 So he left everything he owned in Joseph’s (c)charge; and with him there he did not (d)concern himself with anything except the (e)food which he (f)ate.Now Joseph was (E)handsome in form and appearance.
