Genesis 39:19 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 39:19

And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his
wife
The story she related concerning Joseph, which was her own invention, and a lie: which she spake unto him, saying, after this manner did thy servant to
me;
attempting to violate her chastity, as she pretended: that his wrath was kindled;
that is, against Joseph, without strictly examining her words, which they would not bear, her story being but ill put together, and without hearing Joseph's defence.

18 But I screamed for help. So he left his coat beside me and ran out of the house."

19 Potiphar's wife told him, "That's how your slave treated me." When Joseph's master heard her story, he became very angry.

21 the LORD was with him. He was kind to him. So the man who was running the prison was pleased with Joseph.
