At this chapter we return to the story of Joseph. We have him here,
( 1,) A servant, a slave in Potiphar's house, 1; and yet there greatly honoured and favoured, 1, By the providence of God, which made him in effect a master, Genesis 39:2-6; Genesis 39:2, By the grace of God, which made him more than conqueror over a strong temptation, Genesis 39:7-12.
(2,) We have him a sufferer, falsely accused, Genesis 39:13-18. Imprisoned, Genesis 39:19-20. And yet his imprisonment made both honourable and comfortable by the tokens of God's special presence with him, Genesis 39:21-23.
