Genesis 39:2

39:2 The Lord was with Joseph. He was successful and lived in the household of his Egyptian master.

Genesis 39:23

39:23 The warden did not concern himself with anything that was in Joseph’s care because the Lord was with him and whatever he was doing the Lord was making successful.


tn Heb “and he was a prosperous man.” This does not mean that Joseph became wealthy, but that he was successful in what he was doing, or making progress in his situation (see 24:21).

tn Heb “and he was.”

tn Heb “was not looking at anything.”

tn Heb “his”; the referent (Joseph) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
