Genesis 39:17

And she spake unto him according to these words
When her husband came home she related to him the above affair, according to the purport of the above words, and in much the same manner, and to the same import as she had to the men of her house: saying, the Hebrew servant which thou hast brought unto us came in
unto me to mock me;
in an obscene manner, using filthy words and actions, contrary to the rules of chastity as well as good manners; or, in other words, to lie with her, which she pretended he solicited.

Genesis 39:17 In-Context

15 et audisset vocem meam reliquit pallium quod tenebam et fugit foras
16 in argumentum ergo fidei retentum pallium ostendit marito revertenti domum
17 et ait ingressus est ad me servus hebraeus quem adduxisti ut inluderet mihi
18 cumque vidisset me clamare reliquit pallium et fugit foras
19 his auditis dominus et nimium credulus verbis coniugis iratus est valde
