1 MOSEBOG 39:1

Da Josef var bragt ned til Ægypten, blev han af Ismaelitterne, der havde bragt ham derned, solgt til Faraos Hofmand Potifar, Livvagtens Øverste, en Ægypter.

And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmeelites, which had brought him down thither.
