- 2And Jehovah was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
- 3And his master saw that Jehovah was with him, and that Jehovah made all that he did to prosper in his hand.
- 4And Joseph found favour in his eyes, and attended on him; and he set him over his house, and all that he had he gave into his hand.
- 5And it came to pass from the time he had set him over his house and all that he had, that Jehovah blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of Jehovah was on all that he had in the house and in the field.
