Reading for July 1st

 Read Genesis 39.1-23. In 39.1-23: Joseph and Potiphar's wife. The story of Joseph resumes after the interlude with Tamar and Judah. In verse 1: Pharaoh is the title for the king of Egypt. In verse 2: The refrain the Lord was with Joseph begins and concludes this episode (vv. 21, 23), In verses 7-20: Some parallels exist between this scene and an ancient Egyptian story entitled "A Tale of Two brothers." A man resists the sexual invitations of his brother's wife but then is falsely accused. Comments or Questions..
