Genesis 39:13 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 39:13

And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his
garment in her hand

into the streets, or into some out house, where business was carried on by servants under him.

Genesis 39:13 In-Context

11 One day when Joseph arrived at the house to do his work, none of the household's men were there.

12 She grabbed his garment, saying, "Lie down with me." But he left his garment in her hands and ran outside.

13 When she realized that he had left his garment in her hands and run outside,

14 she summoned the men of her house and said to them, "Look, my husband brought us a Hebrew to ridicule us. He came to me to lie down with me, but I screamed.

15 When he heard me raise my voice and scream, he left his garment with me and ran outside."
