The Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs 118
Joseph 8
About the sixth hour she departed, and he knelt before the Lord all that day and night, rising at dawn weeping.
1 declare unto you, my children, that it was about the sixth hour when she departed from me; and I knelt before the Lord all that day, and continued all the night; and about dawn I rose up weeping, and praying for a release from the Egyptian.
2 At last, then, she laid hold of my garments, forcibly dragging me to have connection with her.
3 When, therefore, I saw that in her madness she was forcibly holding my garments, I fled away naked.
4 And she falsely accused me to her husband, and the Egyptian cast me into the prison in his house; and on the morrow, having scourged me, the Egyptian sent me into the prison in his house.
5 When, therefore, I was in fetters, the Egyptian woman fell sick from her vexation, and listened to me how I sang praises unto the Lord while I was in the abode of darkness, and with glad voice rejoiced and glorified my God only because by a pretext I had been rid of the Egyptian woman.
