Genesis 39 continues the account of Joseph after his brothers sold him to the Egyptian merchants and then later was sold to Potiphar, captain of Pharaoh's guard. Through his hardships in Egypt , we see that God continued to remain faithful to Joseph and bless him. Potiphar gave Joseph many responsibilities over his personal household, since he could see that the Lord blessed Joseph in everything he did. Joseph remained faithful and resisted propositions from Potiphar's wife. Though Joseph was punished unjustly and imprisoned, God continued to bless him for his obedience and "the LORD was with him; he showed him kindness ... and gave him success in whatever he did".
