<< Genesis 40:3 >>
So he put them in confinement in the house of the captain of the bodyguard, in the jail, the same place where Joseph was imprisoned. (NASB ©1995)

Genesis 39:1 Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an Egyptian officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the bodyguard, bought him from the Ishmaelites, who had taken him down there.

Genesis 39:20 So Joseph's master took him and put him into the jail, the place where the king's prisoners were confined; and he was there in the jail. (NASB ©1995)


And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound.

the place. 39:20,23

where Joseph was bound. Or, where Joseph was confined, for he doubtless had his personal liberty. This place, we learn from the preceding chapter, (ver. 20,) was the king's prison. All the officers in the employment of the ancient kings of Egypt, according to Diodorus Siculus, were taken from the most illustrious families of the priesthood in the country; no slave or common person being ever permitted to serve in the presence of the king. As these persons were of the most noble families, it is natural to expect they would be put, when accused, into the state prison.
