What Happened

Everything Joseph touches prospers, and Potiphar puts him in charge of his entire estate. But Potiphar's wife keeps pressuring Joseph, and when he refuses — saying he won't sin against God — she grabs his cloak and accuses him of assault. Joseph goes from managing a mansion to sitting in a dungeon. Even there, God's favor follows him.
