This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Potiphar. See note on Gen_37:36.
guard = executioners.
Egyptian. This is emphasized three times (verses: Gen_39:1, Gen_39:2, Gen_39:5); because recent discoveries show that Egypt was at this time under a new dynasty; and emphasis is put on the fact that Potiphar, though an "Egyptian", was retained in high position.
Ishmeelites. See note on chapter Gen_37:25.
