Genesis 39:4 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand. He made him overseer - הפקיד hiphkid, from פקד pakad, to visit, take care of, superintend; the same as επισκοπος, overseer or bishop, among the Greeks. This is the term by which the Septuagint often express the meaning of the original.
