Génesis 39:2 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 39:2

And the Lord was with Joseph
Blessing him with his gracious presence, with discoveries of his love, and communion with himself, though destitute of the means of grace and ordinances of worship he enjoyed in his father's house; favouring him with bodily health, and protecting him from all evils and enemies: and he was a prosperous man;
in worldly things, and which was owing to the presence of God with him, and his blessing on him: and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian;
he continued there, and did not attempt to make his escape; or his employment lay chiefly, if not altogether, in the house, and herein he was prosperous, and continued to be so as long as he was in it; the Jews F14 say, he remained here twelve months. Near the pyramids built in the neighbourhood of Memphis, as is affirmed unanimously by the ancients, to this day is shown a hill, on which they say the house of Potiphar was built, whose servant the patriarch Joseph was, and some of the rubbish of the bricks are yet to be seen F15.

Génesis 39:2 In-Context

1 Cuando Jos茅 fue llevado a Egipto, Potifar, un oficial egipcio de Fara贸n, capit谩n de la guardia, lo compr贸 a los ismaelitas que lo hab铆an llevado all谩.
2 Y el SE脩OR estaba con Jos茅, que lleg贸 a ser un hombre pr贸spero, y estaba en la casa de su amo el egipcio.
3 Y vio su amo que el SE脩OR estaba con 茅l y que el SE脩OR hac铆a prosperar en su mano todo lo que 茅l hac铆a.
4 As铆 encontr贸 Jos茅 gracia ante sus ojos y lleg贸 a ser su siervo personal, y lo hizo mayordomo sobre su casa y entreg贸 en su mano todo lo que pose铆a.
5 Y sucedi贸 que desde el tiempo que lo hizo mayordomo sobre su casa y sobre todo lo que pose铆a, el SE脩OR bendijo la casa del egipcio por causa de Jos茅; y la bendici贸n del SE脩OR estaba sobre todo lo que pose铆a en la casa y en el campo.
