The Conviction of Joseph (Genesis)

Joseph was a handsome son and favorited by his father. His brothers decided to sell him. He ended up with a master who really admired him and so did his wife. She admired him som much that she wanted to sleep with him. Joseph didn't want to have sex with her. She found the opportunity to take of his clothes and attempt to sleep with him. She lied and said that he tried her after he ran away from her. I can imagine the great deal of temptation for him. I look at the way men and women think today and I think of the cliche that "there is nothing new under the sun." People still lie because they didn't get what they want. Even in the slave days we had black men lied on for so-called raping white women. Yet, black women were easily sexually satisfying to masters. Who could they tell? The black men were oppressed. I find it interesting that after the wife didn't receive what she wanted, she became that angry. God saw Joseph resist the temptation of the temptress and stayed near him through his imprisonment.
