DAY 39 OF 50

GENESIS 39

POTIPHAR’S WIFE ACCUSES JOSEPH

After being sold by his brothers to the Ishmaelites, Joseph is sold in Egypt to be a servant to Potiphar, a high-ranking officer in Pharaoh’s court.

Joseph is a good-looking man and Potiphar’s wife wants to sleep with him. Joseph doesn’t want trouble with Potiphar or to sin against God, so he denies her advances.

Eventually, she gets frustrated by Joseph’s rejection and grabs him by his garments in a sexual advance. Joseph abandons his garments and runs away. In her anger, she uses his garment against him, claiming he attempted to rape her. Similar to his colorful coat, Joseph's clothing is used against him!

Joseph gets thrown in prison, but God is still with him and helps him succeed.

STUDY QUESTIONS
