Njengombana uJosefa wakhula waba yindoda ehle eqalekako, kungalokho umkaPotifaro wafuna ukulala naye. UJosefa ubengeze akwenza lokho njengombana gade azi bona akukalungi.

Ngelanga elilandelako uJosefa wathi kibo: ‘Ngibawa ningitjele amabhudango wenu.’ Nebaqeda ukumtjela, uJosefa wabahlathululela lona ngerhelebho lakaZimu.
Kumphathi weenselo uJosefa wathi: ‘Emalangeni amathathu uzokutjhaphululwa ejele, uzokuba mphathi weenselo zakaFaro godu.’ UJosefa wangezelela: ‘Nasele uphumile, utjele uFaro ngami, ungirhelebhe ngiphume endaweni le.’ Kodwana uJosefa wathi kumbhagiburotho: ‘Emalangeni amathathu azokulandela uFaro uzokuqunta ihloko .’
