"And it came to pass when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spake unto him, saying, After this manner did thy servant to me; that his wrath was kindled. And Joseph's master took him, and put him into prison, the place where the king's prisoners were bound: and he was there in prison. But Jehovah was with Joseph, and showed kindness unto him, and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.""His master's wrath was kindled ..."

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Genesis 39:22-23
"And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer of it. The prison keeper looked not to anything that was under his hand, because Jehovah was with him; and that which he did, Jehovah made it to prosper.""Jehovah was with him ..."

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Genesis 39:20
Genesis 39:20. Joseph's master, &c.— Hasty and credulous, Potiphar sent Joseph into the prisons where state-criminals were kept, where he was at first severely treated; ch. Genesis 40:15. his feet were hurt with fetters, the iron entered into his soul, Psa 105:18 and there he continued three years; yet the Almighty forsook him not; Psalms 105:21. The Lord was still with him, and, by his mysterious Providence, made his lowest disgrace the means of his greatest exaltation. read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Genesis 39:22
Genesis 39:22. And the keeper of the prison— The underkeeper of the prison (ch. Genesis 40:4.) was as much struck with Joseph as Potiphar had been, and conferred upon him the same kind of trust. See Genesis 40:4-6. REFLECTIONS.—What savage beast so cruel, as an enraged and slighted woman? While chaste love is constant and unchangeable, disappointed lust turns to the fiercest hatred. The servants are called; the affront loudly complained of; the garment laid up as a proof of the guilt; and his... read more

20. Joseph's master took him, and put him into the prison—the roundhouse, from the form of its construction, usually attached to the dwelling of such an officer as Potiphar. It was partly a subterranean dungeon ( :-), though the brick-built walls rose considerably above the surface of the ground, and were surmounted by a vaulted roof somewhat in the form of an inverted bowl. Into such a dungeon Potiphar, in the first ebullition of rage, threw Joseph and ordered him to be subjected further to as... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Genesis 39:21
21-23. The Lord . . . gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison, c.—It is highly probable, from the situation of this prison ( :-), that the keeper might have been previously acquainted with Joseph and have had access to know his innocence of the crime laid to his charge, as well as with all the high integrity of his character. That may partly account for his showing so much kindness and confidence to his prisoner. But there was a higher influence at work for "the Lord was with... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Genesis 39:1-23
Joseph’s rise to power (39:1-41:57)In contrast to Judah, Joseph was blameless in his behaviour in Egypt. Soon he was placed in charge of Potiphar’s household (39:1-6). When he rejected the immoral invitations of Potiphar’s wife, she turned against him bitterly and had him thrown into prison (7-20). Again his behaviour was blameless, and soon he was given a position of responsibility over the other prisoners (21-23).Among the prisoners who later joined Joseph were two of Pharaoh’s palace... read more
