◁



Potiphar’s wife lusted after Joseph, a young and beautiful slave in her household, but he kept evading her. One day, when everyone in the house had gone to a festival, she pretended to be sick in order to stay at home alone with him. When the seductress jumps up from her bed to seize him, Joseph makes a hasty retreat and she grabs only his coat.
