Genesis
Chapter 39
1~~And
Joseph was brought down to Egypt.
And
Potiphar {name means 'devoted to the sun god'},
a
nobleman {3rd or 4th in the land} of Pharaoh,
'chief
of the police system', an Egyptian
{from a line of Egyptian nobility - from a great family also},
bought
him of the hands of the Ishmaelites,
who
had brought him down there.
{Note: 'Captain of the guard' is really the 'chief of police system in empire'.}
2~~And
Jehovah/God was with Joseph,
and
{God} caused him {Joseph} to be a prosperous man
and
{he was prosperous}
in
the house of his master/lord {'adown} the Egyptian.
3~~And
his master/lord kept on seeing
that
Jehovah/God was with him,
and
that Jehovah/God manufactured {'asah - out of divine blessing}
all
that he did
to
cause to prosper in his hand.
4~~
And Joseph kept on finding favor/grace {chen} in his sight
{idiom meaning promotion - Joseph was promoted},
and
he {Joseph} diligently served him
and
he made him overseer over his estate
{over all the property this nobleman owned - a lot!},
and
all that he had he put into his hand/'under Joseph's administrative care'.
5~~And
it came to pass
from
the time that he caused to make him {Joseph}
overseer
of his estate . . .
over
all that he had,
that
Jehovah/God kept on intensively blessing
the
Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake;
and
the blessings {B@rakah/Berachah} of Jehovah/God
was
upon all that he had in the house . . .
and
in the field.
6~~
And he {Potiphar} kept on leaving
all
that he had in Joseph's hand.
And
he 'inherently did not know' {yada`} what he had/owned . . .
save
the bread which he did eat
{Potiphar did not know the details - that was left to Joseph}.
Now
Joseph had a handsome body {to'ar},
and
a beautiful {yapheh} face/appearance {mar'eh}.
{Note: Trouble is starting with Potiphar. Starts with the physical beauty of Joseph. Joseph was 17 when he came to Potiphar and served 10 years until the dungeon scene coming up. And, back at 30 he is the leading man - Prime Minister of Egypt.}
{Potiphar's
Wife Advances on Joseph}
7~~
And it came to pass after these things,
that
his master's/lord's wife 'mentally desired'/'cast her eyes'
upon
Joseph.
And
she kept on saying,
"'Have
sex'/lie/'co-habitat' {shakab} with me.
8-9~~But
he kept on emphatically refusing,
and
kept on saying unto his master's/lord's wife,
"Behold,
my master does not know {'yada}
what
is going on in the house,
and
he has entrusted all that he has to my hand/care'. 9~~
There
is none greater in this house than I.
Neither
has he kept back any thing from me but you -
because
you are his wife -
how
then can I do/manufacture {'asah}
this
great evil/wickedness {ra'},
and
sin {chata'} against 'Elohiym/Godhead?"
10~~And
it came to pass,
as
she 'communicated categorically' {dabar}
to
Joseph day by day {propositioning continued for a long time},
that
he 'listened and obeyed' {'shama} not unto her {propositions}.
{Potiphar's
Wife Catches Joseph Alone}
11~~
And it came to pass about this time,
that
Joseph kept on going into the house
to
do/manufacture {'asah} his business
and
there was none of the men of the house there within.
12~~And
she kept on grabbing him by his garment,
and
said, "'Have sex'/Lie with me.
And
he kept on fleeing, leaving his garment in her hand,
and
got outside {of the house}.
{Ego
Hurt - Lying Starts}
13-14~~
And it came to pass,
when
she saw that he had left his garment in her hand,
and
kept on fleeing outside {the house} 14~~
that
she kept on calling unto the men of her house,
and
kept on speaking unto them, saying, Look!
He
{Potiphar} has brought in an Hebrew
{to an Egyptian a term of slander}
unto
us to mock/'play with'/'toy with' { tsachaq} us!
He
{Joseph} came in unto me to 'have sex' with me,
and
I kept on screaming/'crying out with a loud voice'
{liar liar pants on fire!}.
15~~
And it came to pass,
when
he {Joseph} heard {'shama}
that
I was caused to scream out and kept on calling out,
that
he kept on leaving his garment with me
{saying Joseph fled so fast he left his clothes behind!},
and
kept on fleeing, and kept on getting outside.
16~~
And she caused the laying of his garment by her,
until
his master/lord {Potiphar} came home.
{Strong
Emotional Lie Put Forth}
17-18~~And
she intensively communicated categorically {dabar}
unto
him, according to these words/doctrines {dabar}, saying,
"The
Hebrew slave, who you have caused to bring {bow} unto us,
came
{bow} in unto me to intensively 'toy with'/mock me. 18~~
And
it came to pass,
I
was caused to shout/'lift up my voice' and kept on screaming,
that
he kept on leaving his garment with me
{saying Joseph fled so fast he left his clothes behind!},
and
kept on fleeing, and kept on getting outside."
{Emotionally
Charged Potiphar Believes the Lie Without Interrogating Joseph}
19~~And
it came to pass,
when
his master/lord 'heard and obeyed' {'shama}
the
'words communicated categorically' {dabar} of his wife,
which
she intensively communicated categorically {dabar}
unto
him, saying,
'After
this manner/word {dabar}
did/manufactured
{'asah} your slave to me' . . .
that
his {Potiphar's} anger kept on burning.
20~~And
Joseph's master/lord kept on taking him,
and
kept on tossing him into the prison {bayith cohar} . . .
a
place where the king's prisoners received incarceration
and
he was there in the prison.
21~~But
Jehovah/God was with Joseph,
and
kept on showing him mercy/'grace in action' {checed},
and
kept on giving him grace/favor
in
the sight of the keeper of the prison.
22~~And
the keeper of the prison
kept
on committing to Joseph's hand/care
all
the prisoners that were in the prison.
And
whatever they {the prisoners} did/manufactured . . .
he
{Joseph} was the doer/manufacturer {'asah 'asah} {of it}
{very strong - Joseph was now the administrator of all the
prisioners}.
23~~The
keeper of the prison
'looked
not to any thing that was under his hand'
{again, this man did not need to review Joseph's
work - only Joseph looked after the details}
because
Jehovah/God manufactured {'asah} {all that was done}. . .
and
Jehovah/God caused it {the prison} to prosper.
