Génesis 39:19-21

19 Y aconteció que cuando su señor escuchó las palabras que su mujer le habló, diciendo: Esto es lo que tu esclavo me hizo, se encendió su ira.

20 Entonces el amo de José lo tomó y lo echó en la cárcel, en el lugar donde se encerraba a los presos del rey; y allí permaneció en la cárcel.

21 Mas el SEÑOR estaba con José y le extendió su misericordia, y le concedió gracia ante los ojos del jefe de la cárcel.

Génesis 39:19-21 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.
