Génesis 39:2-6

2 Ahora bien, el SEÑOR estaba con José y las cosas le salían muy bien. Mientras José vivía en la casa de su patrón egipcio,

3 este se dio cuenta de que el SEÑOR estaba con José y lo hacía prosperar en todo.

4 José se ganó la confianza de Potifar, y este lo nombró mayordomo de toda su casa y le confió la administración de todos sus bienes.

5 Por causa de José, el SEÑOR bendijo la casa del egipcio Potifar a partir del momento en que puso a José a cargo de su casa y de todos sus bienes. La bendición del SEÑOR se extendió sobre todo lo que tenía el egipcio, tanto en la casa como en el campo.

6 Por esto Potifar dejó todo a cargo de José, y tan solo se preocupaba por lo que tenía que comer.José tenía muy buen físico y era muy atractivo.

Génesis 39:2-6 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO GENESIS 39

In this chapter the history returns to Joseph again, who being brought down to Egypt was sold to Potiphar, with whom he found favour, and who set him over his house, the Lord prospering everything in his hands, Ge 39:1-6; and being a young man of a comely aspect, his mistress lusted after him, and tempted him to lie with her from time to time, but he as constantly refused it, as being both ingratitude to his master, and a sin against God, Ge 39:7-10; at a certain time they being alone in the house, she renewed her solicitations, and laid hold on his garment, which he left in her hand and fled, Ge 39:11,12; upon which she called to her servants without, and accused Joseph of an ill design upon her, and reported the same to her husband when he came home, Ge 39:13-19; upon which his master put him into prison, but he found favour also with the keeper of it, who committed the prisoners and all things relative to them into his hands, Ge 39:20-23.
