Chasidut sobre Génesis 39:6

Marital intimacy is a realm of enormous holiness, which is why the temptations in this regard are so difficult. The greater the potential for good, the more difficult it is to attain that good. Joseph was the embodiment of holiness in this realm, as evidenced in the fact that he ran away from the allurements of Potiphar’s wife.³⁹²In Gen. 39:6-20 the Torah relates the story of Joseph and Potiphar’s wife. Joseph had been sold as a slave to an Egyptian nobleman. The nobleman’s wife sought to seduce Joseph for a long time. Once, they were alone in her home, and she grabbed his shirt and asked him to sleep with her. He ran outside the house to escape her entreaties and left his garment with her.
