Joseph and Potiphar's Wife (Genesis 39), wood engraving, published 1877 - stock illustration

Soon after these things, his master’s wife took notice of Joseph and said, “Have sex with me.” But he refused, saying to his master’s wife, “Look, my master does not give any thought to his household with me here, and everything that he owns he has put into my care. There is no one greater in this household than I am. He has withheld nothing from me except you because you are his wife. So how could I do such a great evil and sin against God?” (Genesis, Chapter 39, 7-9).
