Genesis 39:1

Verse 1 of 23. The 39th of 50 chapters in Genesis, in The Law.

1Joseph was brought down to Egypt. Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh’s, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the hand of the Ishmaelites that had brought him down there.

2The LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man. He was in the house of his master the Egyptian.

3His master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did prosper in his hand.

4Joseph found favor in his sight. He ministered to him, and Potiphar made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.

5From the time that he made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, the LORD blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake. The LORD’s blessing was on all that he had, in the house and in the field.
