"And when the woman saw the garment in her hands and herself being treated with disrespect, "
— Genesis 39:13, Catholic Public Domain Version
“And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth,”
“And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth, ”
“When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and had run outside,”
“When she saw that he had left his outer garment in her hand and had run outside,”
“And when the woman saw the garment in her hands, and herself disregarded,”
“And when she saw that he had got away, letting her keep his coat,”
“And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth,”
With such words as these, throughout each day, the woman was pestering the young man, and he was refusing the adultery.
Then it happened, on a certain day, that Joseph entered the house, and he was doing something, without any witnesses.
And she, grasping the hem of his garment, said, “Sleep with me.” But he, leaving behind the cloak in her hand, fled and went outside.
And when the woman saw the garment in her hands and herself being treated with disrespect,
she called to herself the men of her house, and she said to them: “Lo, he has brought in a Hebrew man to abuse us. He entered toward me, in order to join with me; and when I had shouted out,
and he had heard my voice, he left behind the cloak that I held, and he fled outside.”
As a proof, therefore, of her fidelity, she retained the cloak, and she showed it to her husband, when he returned home.
