Genesis 39:15 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 39:15

And it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted up my voice
and cried
He attempting to ravish her, as she would have it understood, but afraid, lest upon her outcry those that were in the house should come in to her assistance, and seize on him: that he left his garment with me, and fled, and got him out:
but why should he strip himself of his garment, and leave that behind him? he might have fled with it.

Genesis 39:15 In-Context

13 When she realized that he had left his coat in her hand and run outside,

14 she called to her house servants: "Look - this Hebrew shows up and before you know it he's trying to seduce us. He tried to make love to me but I yelled as loud as I could.

15 With all my yelling and screaming, he left his coat beside me here and ran outside."

16 She kept his coat right there until his master came home.

17 She told him the same story. She said, "The Hebrew slave, the one you brought to us, came after me and tried to use me for his plaything.
