“And it came to pass about this time, that Joseph went into the house to do his business; and there was none of the men of the house there within.”
One day he went into the house to attend to his duties, and none of the household servants was inside. The setup for the climactic temptation is the absence of witnesses: no servants, just Joseph and Potiphar's wife. The application: the temptation that escalates in the absence of witnesses is the temptation designed for the moment when no human accountability is present.
