Summary
The following article argues that the story of Joseph and the Egyptian wife does not belong to the original Joseph story. It was inserted in order to present Joseph as a model of wisdom. A later redactor added the theological comments according to which »Yhwh was with Joseph« in order to strengthen the idea that the whole Joseph story is a story about divine providence.
