Genesis 39:1-6 And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian… I. JOSEPH'S FAITHFULNESS TO HIS MASTER. II. JOSEPH'S FAITHFULNESS TO HIS GOD. III. JOSEPH'S SOURCE OF HELP AND GLADNESS. The Lord was with him. CONCLUSION: — What shall we learn from this part of Joseph's history? That amidst darkness — of sorrow (Joseph exiled); of trial (Joseph tempted); of injustice (Joseph imprisoned) — there always arises light for the faithful and pure of heart. Let us ask God to make us from our earliest years, and in all circumstances, honest, diligent, pure-minded, patient; and let us never lose hold of our trust in God's help. (W. S. Smith, B. 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. |
