11 {But one particular day} he came into the house to do his work and none of the men of the house were there in the house,

12 she seized him by his garment [and] said, "Lie with me!" And he left his garment in her hand and fled, and he went outside.

13 And it happened [that] when she saw that he left his garment in her hand and fled outside,

14 she called to the men of her house and said to them, "Look! He brought a Hebrew man to us to mock us! He came to me to lie with me, and I cried out with a loud voice.

15 And when he heard [me], that I raised my voice and called out, he left his garment beside me and fled, and he went outside."
