The warden put all the prisoners under Joseph’s care; he was placed in charge of all the prisoners and everything in the prison.

So Joseph’s master took him and threw him into prison, the place where the king’s prisoners are confined, and he was left there. But YAHWEH was with Joseph and demonstrated to him his faithful love by giving him great favor in the sight of the warden.

It wasn’t long before his master’s wife noticed Joseph.

There is no one greater in his household than me, nor has he kept anything back from me except you, because you’re his wife. Why would I want to do such an immoral thing and sin against God?”
