"As a proof, therefore, of her fidelity, she retained the cloak, and she showed it to her husband, when he returned home. "
— Genesis 39:16, Catholic Public Domain Version
“And she laid up his garment by her, until his lord came home.”
“And she laid up his garment by her, until his master came home. ”
“She laid up his garment by her, until his master came home.”
“So she laid his outer garment beside her until his master came home.”
“For a proof therefore of her fidelity, she kept the garment, and shewed it to her husband when he returned home:”
“And she kept his coat by her, till his master came back.”
“And she laid up his garment by her, until his lord came home.”
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.
And she said: “The Hebrew servant, whom you have brought in to me, approached me to abuse me.
And when he had heard me cry out, he left behind the cloak that I held, and he fled outside.”
His lord, upon hearing these things, and having excessive trust in the words of his mate, was very angry.
