Genesis 39:1 KJV [1] And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmeelites, which had brought him down thither. https://bible.com/bible/1/gen.39.1.KJV
Barley à few générations ago, Abraham, Joseph’s great grandfather was with this pharaohs great grandfather.They negotiated on equals terms. Indeed he feared Abraham the Hebrew.Now barely à few generations and Abraham’s progeny has been sold to Pharaoh’s.Oh how different things would be if they both knew this.. Oh if only we had a historical perspective and revelation. Our lives would be so much better We by pass our miracle and inheritance daily but do not even know it.Rather we may end up begging for crumbs.SMH 🤦♂️ this life.
Genesis 39:20 KJV [20] And Joseph’s master took him, and put him into the prison, a place where the king’s prisoners were bound: and he was there in the prison.https://bible.com/bible/1/gen.39.20.KJV
Is this thr usual place potipher kept servants..Thus was a political prison. Or though a servant could Joseph have risen that high in the social status and ladder.I doubt 🤷♂️ not
