Potiphar's wife tried repeatedly to seduce Joseph, but Joseph
would not have anything to do with her. He would not betray his
master's confidence or sin against God. One day she caught him by
his garment. He squirmed out of it and fled, leaving her holding
it. She used the coat as "evidence" that Joseph had attempted to
rape her. Without proper investigation, Joseph's master ordered him
to be thrown into prison.
