Gênesis 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.

Gênesis 39:22 In-Context

20 Mandou buscar José e lançou-o na prisão em que eram postos os prisioneiros do rei.José ficou na prisão,

21 mas o SENHOR estava com ele e o tratou com bondade, concedendo-lhe a simpatia do carcereiro.

22 Por isso o carcereiro encarregou José de todos os que estavam na prisão, e ele se tornou responsável por tudo o que lá sucedia.

23 O carcereiro não se preocupava com nada do que estava a cargo de José, porque o SENHOR estava com José e lhe concedia bom êxito em tudo o que realizava.
