Genesis 39:7 in Context — Genesis 39
5 Dès que Potiphar l’eut établi sur sa maison et sur tout ce qu’il possédait, l’Éternel bénit la maison de l’Égyptien, à cause de Joseph; et la bénédiction de l’Éternel fut sur tout ce qui lui appartenait, soit à la maison, soit aux champs.
6 Il abandonna aux mains de Joseph tout ce qui lui appartenait, et il n’avait avec lui d’autre soin que celui de prendre sa nourriture. Or, Joseph était beau de taille et beau de figure.
7 Après ces choses, il arriva que la femme de son maître porta les yeux sur Joseph, et dit: Couche avec moi!
8 Il refusa, et dit à la femme de son maître: Voici, mon maître ne prend avec moi connaissance de rien dans la maison, et il a remis entre mes mains tout ce qui lui appartient.
9 Il n’est pas plus grand que moi dans cette maison, et il ne m’a rien interdit, excepté toi, parce que tu es sa femme. Comment ferais-je un aussi grand mal et pécherais-je contre Dieu?
