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, however, when he went into the house to do his work, and while no one else was in the house,

12 she caught hold of his garment, saying, "Lie with me!" But he left his garment in her hand, and fled and ran outside.

13 When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had fled outside,

14 she called out to the members of her household and said to them, "See, my husband has brought among us a Hebrew to insult us! He came in to me to lie with me, and I cried out with a loud voice;

15 and when he heard me raise my voice and cry out, he left his garment beside me, and fled outside."
