Genesis 39:16 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 39:16

And she laid up his garment by her
As a proof of what she laid to his charge, and as a testimony against him: until her lord came home;
or until his lord came home, for the pronoun refers to Joseph, and so Jarchi interprets it; who either was gone a journey, or gone to court that day, being an officer of Pharaoh's, or to the public place where the festival was kept that day, if it was such an one.

Genesis 39:16 In-Context

14 vocavit homines domus suae et ait ad eos en introduxit virum hebraeum ut inluderet nobis ingressus est ad me ut coiret mecum cumque ego succlamassem
15 et audisset vocem meam reliquit pallium quod tenebam et fugit foras
16 in argumentum ergo fidei retentum pallium ostendit marito revertenti domum
17 et ait ingressus est ad me servus hebraeus quem adduxisti ut inluderet mihi
18 cumque vidisset me clamare reliquit pallium et fugit foras
