Do you believe that Joseph, while being a slave in Egypt, had access to the Scriptures, so he could be filled with God's Holy Word in order to be able to withstand all that he had to endure, including Potiphar's wife?

Sincerely,

Dear Looking for a Librarian,

Joseph didn’t have access to the Scriptures because the first books of the Bible weren’t written until long after Joseph died.  Genesis through Deuteronomy were written by Moses – several generations after Joseph.  God gave the Jews the Old Testament Law when they went to Mt. Sinai (Num 3:1, Jhn 1:17).  Though the life of Joseph and his temptations are recorded in Genesis, Joseph didn’t have the book of Genesis in his lifetime.
