16She laid up his garment by her, until his master came home.

17She spoke to him according to these words, saying, "The Hebrew servant, whom you have brought to us, came in to me to mock me,
Exodus 23:1, Exodus 23:1, 1 Kings 21:9, 1 Kings 21:13, Proverbs 19:5
18and it happened, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment by me, and ran outside."
