Genesis 39:5 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 39:5

And it came to pass from the time that he had made him overseer
in his house, and over all that he had
How long he was in this office is not certain; there must be some time for the following observation; and during all the time he was in it, it was easily discerned, that the Lord blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake;
that is, much more than before; everything under his hands succeeded before, but now much more abundantly; Potiphar's family was blessed with health, his substance increased, he grew rich and wealthy, and abounded with all good things: and the blessing of the Lord was upon all that he had in the house,
and in the field;
his domestic affairs prospered, his fields brought forth plentifully, his cattle were fruitful and stood well; every thing belonging to him within doors and without happily succeeded, through the blessing of God upon it, and all for Joseph's sake.

Genesis 39:5 In-Context

3 His master recognized that God was with him, saw that God was working for good in everything he did.
4 He became very fond of Joseph and made him his personal aide. He put him in charge of all his personal affairs, turning everything over to him.
5 From that moment on, God blessed the home of the Egyptian - all because of Joseph. The blessing of God spread over everything he owned, at home and in the fields,
6 and all Potiphar had to concern himself with was eating three meals a day.
7 As time went on, his master's wife became infatuated with Joseph and one day said, "Sleep with me."
