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 One day Joseph went into the house to do his work as usual and was the only man in the house at that time.

12 His master's wife grabbed his coat and said to him, "Come and have sexual relations with me." But Joseph left his coat in her hand and ran out of the house.

13 When she saw that Joseph had left his coat in her hands and had run outside,

14 she called to the servants in her house and said, "Look! This Hebrew slave was brought here to shame us. He came in and tried to have sexual relations with me, but I screamed.

15 My scream scared him and he ran away, but he left his coat with me."
