Old Testament · Genesis 39:1–6
Joseph in Potiphar’s House
Joseph had been sold into slavery and taken to Egypt. Potiphar put him in charge of his household and possessions when he saw that the LORD was with him. Joseph’s responsibility did not mean that his enslavement was good or that his later troubles were over. This printable focuses on Genesis 39:1–6. Read the surrounding passage with children to place the scene in the wider account.
