创世记 39:15-18 CUVS

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Genesis 39:1-23

JOSEPH ’S HISTORY DISPENSATIONAL ASPECT OF JACOB’S HISTORY Following F.W. Grant in the Numerical Bible, the life of Jacob gives as its lesson the story of that discipline by which the Spirit of God brings us from weakness to power, from nature’s strength to that wholesome weakness in which alone is strength. But for this, natural strength must be crippled, which is provided for in two ways: in allowing us to realize the power of another nature (Esau) and in the direct dealing of God with our... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Genesis 39:1-23

Joseph In Prison Gen 39:20 We now know enough of the history of Joseph, to see that he had not done anything worthy of imprisonment and pain. Let us keep steadily in mind the fact that there are false accusations in human life. There is a tendency to believe charges against men, without patiently and carefully going into particulars, without making such moral inquest into them as ought alone to justify our belief in any charge that may be made against a human creature. We are prone to say,... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Genesis 39:10-17

Proverbs 7:25 Observe, the pointed contempt on the religion of Joseph; first, the Hebrew, in order to heighten the offence she charged him with after. And is it not so now? Are not the blemishes, or the supposed blemishes of the LORD'S people, always magnified by the carnal world? read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Genesis 39:16

A proof of her fidelity, or an argument to gain credit, argumentum fidei. (Challoner) --- Love neglected, turns to fury. She wishes to take away Joseph's life, according to the laws of Egypt against adulterers. Diodorus says Sesostris burnt some women taken in the crime; and we must attribute it to divine Providence, that the enraged husband did not inflict instant death upon his slave. Perhaps he did not altogether believe him guilty. (Haydock) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 39:13-18

13-18 Joseph's mistress, having tried in vain to make him a guilty man, endeavoured to be avenged on him. Those that have broken the bonds of modesty, will never be held by the bonds of truth. It is no new thing for the best of men to be falsely accused of the worst of crimes, by those who themselves are the worst of criminals. It is well there is a day of discovery coming, in which all shall appear in their true characters. read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Genesis 39:13-23

Joseph Accused and Imprisoned v. 13. And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth, v. 14. that she called unto the men of her house, and spake unto them, saying, See, he hath brought in an Hebrew unto us to mock us. The lust of Potiphar's wife was changed to hatred. Since she did not succeed in having her will, she determined to have her revenge. Although her attack on Joseph had taken place in a part of the house which was open to all, and... read more

THIRD SECTIONJoseph in Potiphar’s house and in prison. His sufferings on account of his virtue, and his apparent destruction. Genesis 39:1-231And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard [life-guardsmen, executioners], an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmaelites, which had brought him down thither. 2And the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian. 3And his master saw that... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Genesis 39:1-18

Joseph in Potiphar’s House Genesis 39:1-18 Ungodly families and employers owe more than they realize to the presence in their homes and businesses of those who love God; for God comes with His servants. See Genesis 39:2 ; Genesis 39:21 ; Genesis 39:23 , and Acts 7:9 . But those who would enjoy that accompanying Presence must resist and overcome the appeals of the flesh. Days of outward prosperity are those in which we are most keenly tempted. The most venomous serpents coil in the damp heat... read more
