Génesis 39:1 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 39:1

And Joseph was brought down to Egypt
By the Ishmaelites, ( Genesis 37:28 ) ; as in a following clause: and Potiphar an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian;
as his name also shows, which signifies the fruit of Pot or Phut, that is, the son or grandson of one of that name F13; which might be common in Egypt, since it was the name of a son of Ham, ( Genesis 10:6 ) , from whom the land of Egypt is called the land of Ham, ( Psalms 105:23 Psalms 105:27 ) ( 106:22 ) ; of this man and his offices, (See Gill on Genesis 37:36); he bought him:
that is, "Joseph", of the hands of the Ishmaelites, who had brought him down thither;
what they gave for him we know, but what they sold him for to Potiphar is not said; no doubt they got a good price for him, and his master had a good bargain too, as appears by what follows.

Génesis 39:1 In-Context

1 José en la casa de Potifar
Cuando los mercaderes ismaelitas llevaron a José a Egipto, lo vendieron a Potifar, un oficial egipcio. Potifar era capitán de la guardia del faraón, rey de Egipto.
2 El Señor
estaba con José, por eso tenía éxito en todo mientras servía en la casa de su amo egipcio.
3 Potifar lo notó y se dio cuenta de que el Señor
estaba con José, y le daba éxito en todo lo que hacía.
4 Eso agradó a Potifar, quien pronto nombró a José su asistente personal. Lo puso a cargo de toda su casa y de todas sus posesiones.
5 Desde el día en que José quedó encargado de la casa y de las propiedades de su amo, el Señor
comenzó a bendecir la casa de Potifar por causa de José. Todos los asuntos de la casa marchaban bien, y las cosechas y los animales prosperaron.
