This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
the captain: Gen 37:36, Gen 39:1, Gen 39:21-23; Psa 37:5
a season: Yamim, literally days; how long is uncertain, though the word may signify, as many suppose, a complete year (see note on Gen 4:3 and see note on Gen 24:55); and as Pharaoh called them to an account on his birthday (Gen 40:20), Calmet supposes they had offended on the preceding birthday, and thus had been one whole year in prison.
