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
And so all hopes of succeeding in her addresses to him were over: and [he] was fled forth;
into the streets, or into some out house, where business was carried on by servants under him.

Genesis 39:13 In-Context

11 However, one day, when he went into the house to do his work, and none of the men living in the house was there indoors,

12 she grabbed him by his robe and said, "Sleep with me!" But he fled, leaving his robe in her hand, and got himself outside.

13 When she saw that he had left his robe in her hand and had escaped,

14 she called the men of her house and said to them, "Look at this! My husband brought in a Hebrew to make fools of us. He came in and wanted to sleep with me, but I yelled out loudly.

15 When he heard me yelling like that, he left his robe with me and ran out."
