Génesis 39:22 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 39:22

And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all
the prisoners that [were] in the prisons
Who, as they were state prisoners, were a considerable charge; and this gave Joseph great honour, credit, and influence in the prison: and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer [of it];
not that he learned and exercised every trade the prisoners were of, to get a living by, which is the sense of some, as Aben Ezra relates; or that he in fact did everything that was done in the prison: but the meaning is, that he gave orders for the doing of everything, and there was nothing done without him; all that was done, as the Targum of Jonathan paraphrases it, he commanded it to be done; or, as Onkelos, all that was done was done by his word, that is, by his authority and command.

Génesis 39:22 In-Context

20 y mandó que echaran a José en la cárcel donde estaban los presos del rey.Pero aun en la cárcel

21 el SEÑOR estaba con él y no dejó de mostrarle su amor. Hizo que se ganara la confianza del guardia de la cárcel,

22 el cual puso a José a cargo de todos los prisioneros y de todo lo que allí se hacía.

23 Como el SEÑOR estaba con José y hacía prosperar todo lo que él hacía, el guardia de la cárcel no se preocupaba de nada de lo que dejaba en sus manos.
