And Ioseph was a
goodly person and a well favored. And it fortuned after this, that
his master's wife cast her eyes upon Ioseph and said come lie with
me. But he denied and said to her: Behold, my master woteth not
what he hath in the house with me, but hath committed all that he
hath to my hand. 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? And after this manner spake she to Ioseph day by day: but he
hearkened not unto her, to sleep near her or to be in her company.
And it fortuned about the same season, that Ioseph entered into
the house, to do his business: and there was none of the household
by, in the house. And she caught him by the garment saying: come
sleep with me. And he left his garment in her hand and fled and
got him out. When she saw that he had left his garment in her
hand, and was fled out, she called unto the men of the house, and
told them saying: See, he hath brought in an Hebrew unto us to do
us shame: for he came in to me, for to have slept with me. But I
cried with a loud voice. And when he heard, that I lift up my
voice and cried, he left his garment with me and fled away and got
him out.
