Génesis 39:3 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 39:3

And his master saw that the Lord [was] with him
He knew nothing of the spiritual and gracious presence of God that was with him, he was no judge of that; but he perceived by the ingenuity of his mind, by his ready and speedy learning the Egyptian language, by his dexterity in business, and by the prudence and faithfulness with which he did everything, that he was highly favoured by the divine Being, and had great endowments bestowed upon him, and was an extraordinary person for his age: and that the Lord made all that he did to prosper in his hand;
and though Potiphar might have no knowledge of the true Jehovah, whose name he uses, yet he might have a notion of a supreme Being, and that all outward prosperity was owing to him; and knowing Joseph to be an Hebrew, as it is plain his wife did, ( Genesis 39:14 ) ; and Jehovah to be the God of the Hebrews, he imputes all the prosperity that attended Joseph and his services unto his God.

Génesis 39:3 In-Context

1 José en la casa de Potifar
Cuando los mercaderes ismaelitas llevaron a José a Egipto, lo vendieron a Potifar, un oficial egipcio. Potifar era capitán de la guardia del faraón, rey de Egipto.

2 El Señor
estaba con José, por eso tenía éxito en todo mientras servía en la casa de su amo egipcio.

3 Potifar lo notó y se dio cuenta de que el Señor
estaba con José, y le daba éxito en todo lo que hacía.

4 Eso agradó a Potifar, quien pronto nombró a José su asistente personal. Lo puso a cargo de toda su casa y de todas sus posesiones.

5 Desde el día en que José quedó encargado de la casa y de las propiedades de su amo, el Señor
comenzó a bendecir la casa de Potifar por causa de José. Todos los asuntos de la casa marchaban bien, y las cosechas y los animales prosperaron.
