Genesis Chapter 39

THE TORAH

GENESIS

BEREISHIT

The book of Bereishit (also known as Genesis) is the first book of the Torah. It begins with the creation of the world by G-d in six days. After creating the earth, G-d brings forth Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. The first humans are quickly banished from the garden after breaking G-d’s commandment and eating from the Tree of Knowledge. The lineage of humanity is established as the book chronicles the descendants of Adam and Eve. The narrative follows the lives of well-known figures such as Cain and Abel, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph. The book explores themes of human nature, morality, and faith, as well as the relationship between G-d and humanity. The book ends with the descendants of Abraham settling in Egypt, setting the stage for the following book in the Torah, Exodus.

Chapter 39

Joseph is Blessed by Hashem in Genesis Chapter 39

After his kingly dream, Joseph is sold by his own brothers.

From thereon, he is blessed by Hashem.

Because Joseph is a godly man.

Regardless of where and what condition he is in, he remains righteous.

“Joseph in Egypt”
“The Slander Against Joseph”

Hashem was with Joseph, and he became a successful man; and he remained in the house of his Egyptian master.
39:2
His master perceived that Hashem was with him, and whatever he did Hashem made succeed in his hand.
39:3
… Hashem blessed the Egyptian’s house on Joseph’s account, so that Hashem’s blessing was in whatever he owned, in the house and in the field.
:5
… Now Joseph was handsome of form and handsome of appearance. After these things, his master’s wife cast her eyes upon Joseph and said, “Lie with me.”
:6-7
There is no one greater in this house than I, and he has denied me nothing but you, since you are his wife; how then can I perpetrate this great evil and have sinned against God!”
:9
… that she caught hold of him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me!” But he left his garment in her hand, and he fled, and went outside.
:12
And it was, when his master heard his wife’s words which she spoke to him, saying, “Your slave did things like these to me,” his anger flared up.
:19
Hashem was with Joseph, and He endowed him with charisma, and He put his favor in the eyes of the prison warden.
:21
The prison warden did not scrutinize anything that was in his charge inasmuch as Hashem was with him; and whatever he did Hashem made successful.
:23

1 Now Joseph had been brought down to Egypt, and Potiphar, Pharaoh’s chamberlain, chief of the slaughterers, an Egyptian man, purchased him from the Ishmaelites who had brought him down there.
2 The Lord was with Joseph, and he was a successful man, and he was in the house of his Egyptian master.
3 And his master saw that the Lord was with him, and whatever he (Joseph) did the Lord made prosper in his hand.
4 And Joseph found favor in his eyes, and he (Joseph) served him, and he (Potiphar) appointed him over his house, and all he had he gave into his hand.
5 Now it came to pass that since he had appointed him over his house and over all that he had, the Lord blessed the house of the Egyptian for Joseph’s sake, and the blessing of the Lord was in all that he had, in the house and in the field.
6 So he left all that he had in Joseph’s hand, and he knew nothing about what was with him except the bread that he ate; and Joseph had handsome features and a beautiful complexion.
7 Now it came to pass after these events that his master’s wife lifted up her eyes to Joseph, and she said, “Lie with me.”
8 But he refused, and he said to his master’s wife, “Behold, with me my master knows nothing about anything in the house, and all he has he has given into my hand.
9 In this house, there is no one greater than I, and he has not withheld anything from me except you, insofar as you are his wife. Now how can I commit this great evil, and sin against God?”
10 Now it came about when she spoke to Joseph day in and day out, that he did not obey her, to lie beside her [and] to be with her.
11 And it came about on a certain day, that he came to the house to do his work, and none of the people of the house were there in the house.
12 So she grabbed him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me!” But he left his garment in her hand and fled and went outside.
13 Now it happened, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had fled outside,
14 that she called to the people of her house, and she spoke to them, saying, “Look! He brought us a Hebrew man to mock us. He came to me to lie with me, but I called loudly.
15 And it happened that when he heard that I raised my voice and called out, he left his garment beside me, and he fled and went outside.”
16 So she left his garment beside her, until his master came home.
17 And she told him the same thing, saying, “The Hebrew slave that you brought to us came to me to mock me.
18 And it happened when I raised my voice and called out, that he left his garment beside me and fled outside.”
19 Now it came about when his master heard his wife’s report that she spoke to him, saying, “Your slave did such things to me,” that his wrath burned.
20 So Joseph’s master took him and put him into prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were imprisoned, and he was there in the prison.
21 The Lord was with Joseph, and He extended charisma to him, and He gave him favor in the eyes of the warden of the prison.
22 So the warden of the prison delivered all the prisoners who were in the prison into Joseph’s hand, and whatever they did there, he [was the one who] did it.
23 The warden of the prison did not inspect anything [that was] in his (Joseph’s) hand, for the Lord was with him, and whatever he did the Lord made prosper.

GALLERY
Bible reading in the form of Scripture in pictures can have a profound impact on those who may have never read a chapter in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament). Viewing pivotal verses in a visual context can deepen one’s understanding of the text and provide a unique perspective. The images may help to illustrate important themes and messages that may not have been as easily grasped through standard reading. Additionally, this method can be particularly beneficial for those who struggle with traditional reading methods or for those who are more visually inclined. The power of visual storytelling has been utilized for centuries, and when paired with the timeless words of Scripture, it has the potential to bring new life and meaning to the ancient text. Ultimately, whatever method one chooses to engage with the Bible, the most important thing is to seek a deeper understanding of God’s word, and to apply it to our lives in a meaningful way.
