Context — The Story of Joseph and Potiphar's Wifegenerated
Genesis 39:18 describes a moment of accusation against Joseph, where Potiphar's wife claims he attempted to assault her. In her retelling, she emphasizes her cry for help and Joseph's hasty departure, which sets the stage for the ensuing drama and consequences in Joseph's life.
Cross References
The Key Word — וָאֶקְרָ֑א, va.'ek.Ra'generated
The word וָאֶקְרָ֑א (va'ek.Ra') is a first-person singular imperfect verb from the root קָרָא (qara'), meaning 'to call out' or 'to cry.' It indicates an action that is ongoing or incomplete, highlighting the urgency of her plea for help.
In this context, it conveys the intensity of her situation, as she desperately calls out for assistance, which she claims prompted Joseph to flee. The use of the imperfect form suggests that this was a significant moment in the narrative.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, which uses screamed for help to convey the urgency of the situation.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb of the verse is וָאֶקְרָ֑א, and I called out, which governs the action of the sentence. The structure follows a sequence where her cry leads to Joseph's response.
The sentence is built around her actions, with clauses detailing her scream, Joseph's abandonment of his garment, and his fleeing, all contributing to the unfolding narrative.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
In the Septuagint, the Hebrew verb וָאֶקְרָ֑א is rendered as ἐβόησα (ebōēsa), which also means 'to cry out' or 'to shout.' This choice reflects a direct translation of the urgency and distress expressed in the Hebrew.
The Greek term carries similar connotations of calling for help, maintaining the emotional weight of the original Hebrew.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Genesis 39:18 tells us that Potiphar's wife accused Joseph of wrongdoing. She claims that when she cried out for help, he left his cloak and ran away. This moment highlights the tension in Joseph's story as he faces false accusations.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
She is asserting that she called loudly for assistance when Joseph allegedly approached her, indicating her distress and framing Joseph as the aggressor.
The cloak serves as evidence in her accusation, symbolizing Joseph's hasty departure and her claim of his wrongdoing.
This accusation leads to Joseph's imprisonment, setting off a chain of events that will ultimately lead to his rise in power in Egypt.
It illustrates the dangers and consequences of false accusations, as well as the importance of integrity in the face of unjust circumstances.
Reflection Questionsgenerated
- How can I respond to accusations or misunderstandings in my own life?
- What does this story reveal about the nature of truth and justice?
- In what ways can I support those who are falsely accused?
- How do I see God's hand at work in difficult situations like Joseph's?

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text is supported by the Septuagint, which matches the majority of the words. The Samaritan Pentateuch differs slightly with two words: הָרִימִי (be high) and בִּגְדָיו (his garment). The Dead Sea Scrolls show partial restoration but align closely with the Masoretic Text.
וַיְהִ֕י כַּהֲרִימִ֥י קוֹלִ֖י וָאֶקְרָ֑א וַיַּעֲזֹ֥ב בִּגְד֛וֹ אֶצְלִ֖י וַיָּ֥נָס הַחֽוּצָה׃
