11 And it came to pass about this time, that Joseph went into the house to do his business; and there was none of the men of the house there within.

12 And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out. 15 And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth,
