After Joseph is passed on as a slave once again, he arrives at Potiphar's court and serves him. His wife, Mut-em-enet, takes a liking to the twenty-four-year-old young man and begins to pursue him. Joseph resists, fearing God's wrath. Through a scheme, the humiliated Mut ensures that Joseph ends up in prison. The third part of the 'Joseph' novels was published in 1936 by Bermann-Fischer in Vienna.
