Gill's Notes on the Bible
And she caught him by his garment, saying, lie with me,.... It is very probable that before this time, as soon as ever she began to speak to him, he got away as fast as he could, and would not hear her; wherefore she now laid hold on his garment, in order to detain him, that she might have time to parley with him, and so prevail:
and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out; it was his outward loose garment she laid hold on, out of which he slipped himself, and so got clear of her, and ran away, and got out of the house as fast as he could: this he did, because he would not struggle with his mistress for his garment, which no doubt by his strength he could have got from her; and partly lest he should by handling of her have carnal desires excited in him, and so be overcome with her temptation.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
- Joseph in Potipharâs House
According to our reckoning, Perez and Zerah were born when Judah was in his twenty-eighth year, and therefore, Joseph in his twenty-fourth. Here, then, we go back seven years to resume the story of Joseph.
Genesis 39:1-6
Joseph fares well with his first master. âPotiphar.â This is a racapitulation of the narrative in Genesis 37:0: âThe Lord;â the God of covenant is with Joseph. âIn the house.â Joseph was a domestic servant. âAnd his master saw.â The prosperity that attended all Josephâs doings was so striking as to show that the Lord was with him. âSet him overâ - made him overseer of all that was in his house. âThe Lord blessed the Mizriteâs house.â He blesses those who bless his own Genesis 12:3. âBeautiful in form and lookâ Genesis 29:17. This prepares the way for the following occurrence.
Genesis 39:7-10
Joseph resists the daily solicitations of his masterâs wife to lie with her. âNone greater in this house than I.â He pleads the unreserved trust his master had reposed in him. He is bound by the law of honor, the law of chastity (this great evil), and the law of piety (sin against God). Joseph uses the common name of God in addressing this Egyptian. He could employ no higher pleas than the above.
Genesis 39:11-18
âAt this day,â the day on which the occurrence now to be related took place. âTo do his business.â He does not come in her way except at the call of duty. He hath brought in. She either does not condescend, or does not need to name her husband. âA Hebrew to mock us.â Her disappointment now provokes her to falsehood as the means of concealment and revenge. A Hebrew is still the only national designation proper to Joseph Genesis 14:13. Jacobâs descendants had not got beyond the family. The term Israelite was therefore, not yet in use. The national name is designedly used as a term of reproach among the Egyptians Genesis 43:32. âTo mock us,â - to take improper liberties, not only with me, but with any of the females in the house. âI cried with a loud voice.â This is intended to be the proof of her innocence Deuteronomy 22:24, Deuteronomy 22:27. âLeft his garments by me;â not in her hand, which would have been suspicious.
Genesis 39:19-23
Her husband believes her story and naturally resents the supposed unfaithfulness of his slave. His treatment of him is mild. He puts him in ward, probably to stand his trial for the offence. The Lord does not forsake the prisoner. He gives him favor with the governor of the jail. The same unlimited trust is placed in him by the governor as by his late master.
