- Now Joseph had been taken down to
Egypt, and Potiphar,
an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him
from
the Ishmaelites who had taken him down there.
(Gen. 12:10; _37:36; _43:15) - The Lord
was with Joseph, and he was
a successful man;
and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian. (Gen.
39:23; Ps. 1:3;
Acts 7:9)
- And his master saw that the Lord
was
with him and that
the Lord made all he did to prosper in his hand. (Ps.
1:3)
- So Joseph found favour in his
sight,
and served him.
Then he made him overseer of his house, and all that he had he put in
his
hand. (Gen. 24:2, 10; 39:8,
22)
- So it was, from the time that he
had
made him overseer
of his house and all that he had, that the Lord blessed the Egyptian's
house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the Lord was on all that
he
had in the house and in the field. (Gen. 18:26; 30:27)
- So he left all that he had in
Joseph's
hand, and he did
not know what he had except for the bread which he ate. And
Joseph
was handsome in form and appearance. (1 Sam. 16:12)
- Now it came to pass after these
things
that his master's
wife cast longing eyes on Joseph, and she said, "Lie with me." (2
Sam. 13:11; (Prov.
1:10)
- But he refused and said to his
master's
wife, "Look, my
master does not know what is with me in the house, and he has committed
all that he has to my hand.
- "There is no one greater in this
house
than I, nor has
he kept back anything from me but you, because you are his wife.
How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?"
- So it was, as she spoke to Joseph
day
by day, that he
did not heed her, to lie with her or to be with her. (Prov.
1:10)
- But it happened

- Then Joseph's master took him and
put
him into the prison, a place where the king's prisoners were
confined. And he was there in the prison. (Gen.
40:3; Gen. 40:15; Heb.
11:36)

- The keeper of the prison did not
look
into anything that
was under Joseph's hand, because the Lord was with him; and whatever he
did, the Lord made to prosper. (Gen. 39:2&3;
Ps. 1:3)
