Genesis 39:1-6 And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian… Notice some of the points brought out in this trying portion of Joseph's history. 1. The fact of having parted with the restraints and wholesome influences of home. 2. Joseph's new position also placed him among strangers. 3. Joseph's lot was also that of inexperience surrounded with the numerous and glaring temptations of a great city. 4. How Joseph's new lot subjected his religious principles to the test. (J. Leyburn, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmeelites, which had brought him down thither. |
