1 ^hNow Joseph had been brought down to Egypt, and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, ⁱthe captain of the guard, an Egyptian, had bought him from the ^jIshmaelites who had brought him down there. 2 The Lord was ^kwith Joseph, and he became a successful man, and he was in the house of his Egyptian master. 3 ^lHis master saw that the Lord was with him ^mand that the Lord caused all that he did to succeed in his hands. 4 So Joseph found favor in his sight and attended him, and ⁿhe made him overseer of his house and put him in charge of all that he had. 5 From the time that he made him overseer in his house and over all that he had, ^othe Lord blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake; the blessing of the Lord was on all that he had, in house and field. 6 So he left all that he had in Joseph’s charge, and because of him he had no concern about anything but the food he ate.

Now Joseph was ^phandsome in form and appearance.
