Genesis 39:11 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 39:11

9 There is no one greater in this house than I, nor has he kept back anything from me but you, because you are his wife. ^aHow then can I do this great wickedness, and ^bsin against God?”

10 So it was, as she spoke to Joseph day by day, that he ^adid not heed her, to lie with her or to be with her.

11 But it happened about this time, when Joseph went into the house to do his work, and none of the men of the house was inside,

12 that she ^acaught him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me.” But he left his garment in her hand, and fled and ran outside.

13 And so it was, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and fled outside,

14 that she called to the men of her house and spoke to them, saying, “See, he has brought in to us a ^aHebrew to mock us. He came in to me to lie with me, and I cried out with a loud voice.
