Genesis 39 demonstrates how Torah law can be more than just a set of rules through its story of Joseph and Potiphar's wife. When Joseph repeatedly rejects Potiphar's wife's forceful propositions he argues that not only would it be against the law, it would also go against how people are supposed to treat each other and would betray not only Potiphar but God as well.
