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 Entonces agarró a José y lo metió en la cárcel donde estaban los presos del rey. José quedó allí,

21 pero el Señor
estaba con José en la cárcel y le mostró su fiel amor. El Señor
hizo que José fuera el preferido del encargado de la cárcel.

22 Poco después el director puso a José a cargo de los demás presos y de todo lo que ocurría en la cárcel.

23 El encargado no tenía de qué preocuparse, porque José se ocupaba de todo. El Señor
estaba con él y lo prosperaba en todo lo que hacía.
