Genesis 39:1

GENESIS CHAPTER 39 God prospers Joseph in Potiphar's service, Genesis 39:1,2. Potiphar observes it, and sets him over all his house, Genesis 39:3. He is a goodly person, and his mistress solicits him to lie with her, Genesis 39:7. He abhorring the ingratitude against his master, and sin against God, constantly refuses, Genesis 39:8. They being in the house alone, she seizes his coat, which he leaves with her, and fled, Genesis 39:11. She accuses him first to the servants, Genesis 39:14,15; then to his master, Genesis 39:16, who casts him into prison, Genesis 39:19,20. The Lord is with him there; he finds favour with the keeper; is set over the prisoners, and prospers, Genesis 39:21. 1729 The Lord was with Joseph, with his gracious presence and blessing, as this phrase is taken here, Genesis 39:21, Genesis 21:22 26:24. He was in the house of his master: he doth not endeavour to make an escape to his father, but demeaned himself patiently and faithfully in the station into which God's providence had brought him.
