G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Genesis 39:1-23

Here begins the story of Joseph in Egypt which is so full of interest. Through the malice of his brethren he had been sold into slavery and in such condition we now see him. Here, at the very beginning of the story of his life and work in Egypt, we learn the secret of all his wonderful success, "Jehovah was with him." and also that, "His master saw that Jehovah was with him." In those two statements is revealed a man in circumstances which always have been calculated to degrade. He was a... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Genesis 39:1-23

Joseph, Servant of Potiphar Genesis 39:1-23 INTRODUCTORY WORDS There is a chapter that is thrown in between the story of Joseph sold to the Ishmaelites, and Joseph bought by Potiphar and made a servant in Egypt. That chapter is the thirty-eighth. It seems to break the continuity of the message concerning Joseph, and yet it is vitally placed just where it is. From a prophetical viewpoint the story of Judah and his marriage to Shuah seems to us to set forth the story of Israel during the period... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 39:1-23

Joseph Is Sold Into Slavery, Resists Temptation and Strangely Prospers in Prison (Genesis 39:1-23 ). That what now happens to Joseph is in the hands of Yahweh is abundantly made clear (Genesis 38:2-3; Genesis 38:21). He is with him there in that strange land able to bring about His will. He is Lord of all the earth. Genesis 39:1 . “And Joseph was brought down to Egypt, and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh” s, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hand of the Ishmaelites who... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 39:1-23

Genesis 39. Joseph Repels his Master's Wife, and is Imprisoned on her False Accusation.— This section is from J with touches from E. It is generally agreed that “ Potiphar . . . guard” is an insertion in Genesis 39:1. J represents Joseph as sold to an unnamed Egyptian; the governor of the prison is also unnamed. According to E, Joseph is sold to Potiphar the captain of the guard, and attends, not as himself a prisoner, but as Potiphar’ s slave ( cf. Genesis 41:12), to the officers who are in... read more

An improbable story, and an evidence that the violence was on her side; otherwise, if he had attempted violence upon her person, he would not have forborne violence to the recovery of his garment, which he very well knew might be made a pretence against him. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Genesis 39:13-18

CRITICAL NOTES.—Genesis 39:14. An Hebrew.] “A Hebrew is still the only national designation proper to Joseph. (Genesis 14:13.) Jacob’s descendants had not got beyond the family. The term Israelite was therefore not yet in use. The national name is designedly used as a term of reproach among the Egyptians.” (Genesis 43:32.) (Murphy.)—Genesis 39:15. Left his garment with me.] “Not in her hand, which would have been suspicious.” (Murphy.)—Genesis 39:20. The prison.] Heb. House of roundness, or... read more

Chuck Smith

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Genesis 39:1-23

Now we get back in chapter thirty-nine to the story again. This is just a little interlude and it is just sort of a parenthetical-kind of a thing thrown in and now we get back to Joseph. Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, a eunuch of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him at the hands of the Ishmeelites, which had brought him down to Egypt. And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man ( Genesis 39:1-2 ); "The LORD was with Joseph." This is the summation... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 39:1-23

Genesis 39:1. Potiphar. What a providence, that Joseph was bought by a man in whom Pharaoh had placed very much confidence. Captain of the guard. He seems to have been a military superintendent of the butchers, bakers, and every other class of servants in the king’s household. Genesis 39:2. The Lord was with Joseph. The Targum reads, The Word of the Lord was Joseph’s helper; that is, the Messiah. Genesis 39:7. It came to pass. In the eleventh year of Joseph’s servitude, when he... read more
