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 But one day when Joseph went into the house to do his work, none of the house servants was there.

12 She caught him by his robe and said, "Come to bed with me." But he escaped and ran outside, leaving his robe in her hand.

13 When she saw that he had left his robe and had run out of the house,

14 she called to her house servants and said, "Look at this! This Hebrew that my husband brought to the house is insulting us. He came into my room and tried to rape me, but I screamed as loud as I could.

15 When he heard me scream, he ran outside, leaving his robe beside me."
