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

Quest. Why did he not kill him, the crime being capital, and he having so undoubted a power in his hand to do it? Answ. It is probable he was a little moderated by Joseph’s apology, which doubtless he made for himself, though it be not here recorded. 2. This is to be ascribed to the good providence of God, which restrains the waves of the sea, and the passions of men, and sets them their bounds which they shall not pass, which watched over Joseph in a peculiar manner. The king’s prisoners;... read more

An example of the mysterious ways of Providence. The outward sufferings of Joseph were grievous. He was bound as well as imprisoned. They “hurt” his feet “with fetters.” (Psalms 105:18.) But his trouble went deeper than this. “The iron entered his soul.” Though conscious of innocence, yet in the... read more

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
