Used by Joseph to keep him from sinning!

• Gen. 397-And it came to pass after these things,
  that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph
  and she said, Lie with me.
• 8 But he refused, and said unto his master's
  wife, Behold, my master wotteth not what is with
  me in the house, and he hath committed all that
  he hath to my hand
• 9 There is none greater in this house than I
  neither hath he kept back any thing from me but
  thee, because thou art his wife how then can I
  do this great wickedness, and sin against God?

• 10 And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph
  day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to
  lie by her, or to be with her.
• 11 And it came to pass about this time, that
  Joseph went into the house to do his business
  and there was none of the men of the house there
  within.
• 12 And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie
  with me and he left his garment in her hand, and
  fled, and got him out.
