Sold to Potiphar

In Egypt, Joseph was sold to Potiphar. The writer tells us he was an Egyptian. This may be because this was a time when a non-Egyptian dynasty was ruling in Egypt. Potiphar was a commanding officer of the royal bodyguard. These men carried out executions for Pharaoh. The writer tells us God caused Joseph to prosper in all he did. This fact was noticed by Potiphar, who put him in charge of all his house.

God blessed the household because of Joseph. Potiphar did not concern himself with anything going on in the house. All he did was eat his meals and leave the rest to Joseph (Genesis 39:1-6).
