Génesis 39:7 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 39:7

And it came to pass after these things
After he was the overseer of his house; in which office, after he had been some time, so it was that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph;
he being a handsome young man, caught her eye, and that her heart, and led her on to lust after him, and frequently fed her eyes with amorous glances at him; and
at length being fired with lust, and having an opportunity, she said,
to him, in a bold and impudent manner, in plain words, having given signs and hints, and dropped expressions tending thereto before, as it is probable: lie with me;
now directly, there being both opportunity and convenience, perhaps her chamber was near: this was a very great temptation to a young man in single life and living well, from his mistress, who had it greatly in her power to make him should he consent, or ruin him should he deny.

Génesis 39:7 In-Context

5 Por causa de Jos茅, el SE脩OR bendijo la casa del egipcio Potifar a partir del momento en que puso a Jos茅 a cargo de su casa y de todos sus bienes. La bendici贸n del SE脩OR se extendi贸 sobre todo lo que ten铆a el egipcio, tanto en la casa como en el campo.
6 Por esto Potifar dej贸 todo a cargo de Jos茅, y tan solo se preocupaba por lo que ten铆a que comer.Jos茅 ten铆a muy buen f铆sico y era muy atractivo.
7 Despu茅s de alg煤n tiempo, la esposa de su patr贸n empez贸 a echarle el ojo y le propuso:鈥擜cu茅state conmigo.
8 Pero Jos茅 no quiso saber nada, sino que le contest贸:鈥擬ire, se帽ora: mi patr贸n ya no tiene que preocuparse de nada en la casa, porque todo me lo ha confiado a m铆.
9 En esta casa no hay nadie m谩s importante que yo. Mi patr贸n no me ha negado nada, excepto meterme con usted, que es su esposa. 驴C贸mo podr铆a yo cometer tal maldad y pecar as铆 contra Dios?
