Génesis 39:18-23

18 pero, cuando grité, ¡salió corriendo y dejó su manto en mis manos!».

19 José es encarcelado
Potifar se enfureció cuando oyó el relato de su esposa acerca de cómo José la había tratado.

20 Entonces agarró a José y lo metió en la cárcel donde estaban los presos del rey. José quedó allí,

21 pero el Señor
estaba con José en la cárcel y le mostró su fiel amor. El Señor
hizo que José fuera el preferido del encargado de la cárcel.

22 Poco después el director puso a José a cargo de los demás presos y de todo lo que ocurría en la cárcel.

23 El encargado no tenía de qué preocuparse, porque José se ocupaba de todo. El Señor
estaba con él y lo prosperaba en todo lo que hacía.

Génesis 39:18-23 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO GENESIS 39

In this chapter the history returns to Joseph again, who being brought down to Egypt was sold to Potiphar, with whom he found favour, and who set him over his house, the Lord prospering everything in his hands, Ge 39:1-6; and being a young man of a comely aspect, his mistress lusted after him, and tempted him to lie with her from time to time, but he as constantly refused it, as being both ingratitude to his master, and a sin against God, Ge 39:7-10; at a certain time they being alone in the house, she renewed her solicitations, and laid hold on his garment, which he left in her hand and fled, Ge 39:11,12; upon which she called to her servants without, and accused Joseph of an ill design upon her, and reported the same to her husband when he came home, Ge 39:13-19; upon which his master put him into prison, but he found favour also with the keeper of it, who committed the prisoners and all things relative to them into his hands, Ge 39:20-23.
