Joseph is falsely accused and imprisoned
Joseph refused the repeated advances of Potiphar's wife, saying he would not commit such wickedness and sin against God. Her false accusation sent him to prison, where the LORD remained with him and gave him favor (Genesis 39:7-23).

📖 Genesis 39:7–9
7and after some time his master’s wife cast her eyes upon Joseph and said, “Sleep with me.” 8But he refused. “Look,” he said to his master’s wife, “with me here, my master does not concern himself with anything in his house, and he has entrusted everything he owns to my care. 9No one in this house is greater than I am. He has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. So how could I do such a great evil and sin against God?”
