○창39:1 보디발의 아내 유혹을 물리친 요셉
  
창39:1 보디발 가정의 총무 요셉
창 39:1 요셉이 이끌려 애굽에 내려가매 바로의 신하 시위대장 애굽사람 보디발이 그를 그리로 데려간 이스마엘 사람의 손에서 그를 사니라 
창 39:2 여호와께서 요셉과 함께 하시므로 그가 형통한 자가 되어 그 주인 애굽 사람의 집에 있으니 
창 39:3 그 주인이 여호와께서 그와 함께하심을 보며 또 여호와께서 그의 범사에 형통케 하심을 보았더라 
창 39:4 요셉이 그 주인에게 은혜를 입어 섬기매 그가 요셉으로 가정 총무를 삼고 자기 소유를 다 그 손에 위임하니 
창 39:5 그가 요셉에게 자기 집과 그 모든 소유물을 주관하게 한 때부터 여호와께서 요셉을 위하여 그 애굽 사람의 집에 복을 내리시므로 여호와의 복이 그의 집과 밭에 있는 모든 소유에 미친지라 
창 39:6 주인이 그 소유를 다 요셉의 손에 위임하고 자기 식료 외에는 간섭하지 아니하였더라 요셉은 용모가 준수하고 아담하였 더라 
  
Verses 1-6 Our enemies may strip us of outward distinctions and ornaments; but wisdom and grace cannot be taken from us. They may separate us from friends, relatives, and country; but they cannot take from us the presence of the Lord. They may shut us from outward blessings, rob us of liberty, and confine us in dungeons; but they cannot shut us out from communion with God, from the throne of grace, or take from us the blessings of salvation. Joseph was blessed, wonderfully blessed, even in the house where he was a slave. God's presence with us, makes all we do prosperous. Good men are the blessings of the place where they live; good servants may be so, though mean and lightly esteemed. The prosperity of the wicked is, one way or other, for the sake of the godly. Here was a wicked family blessed for the sake of one good servant in it.

창39:7 보디발 아내의 유혹
창 39:7 그 후에 그 주인의 처가 요셉에게 눈짓하다가 동침하기를 청하니 
창 39:8 요셉이 거절하며 자기 주인의 처에게 이르되 나의 주인이 가중 제반 소유를 간섭지 아니하고 다 내 손에 위임하였으니 
창 39:9 이 집에는 나보다 큰 이가 없으며 주인이 아무 것도 내게 금하지 아니하였어도 금한 것은 당신뿐이니 당신은 자기 아내 임이라 그런즉 내가 어찌 이 큰 악을 행하여 하나님께 득죄하리이까 
창 39:10 여인이 날마다 요셉에게 청하였으나 요셉이 듣지 아니하여 동침하지 아니할 뿐더러 함께 있지도 아니하니라 
창 39:11 그러할 때에 요셉이 시무하러 그 집에 들어갔더니 그 집 사람은 하나도 거기 없었더라 
창 39:12 그 여인이 그 옷을 잡고 가로되 나와 동침하자 요셉이 자기 옷을 그 손에 버리고 도망하여 나가매
  
Verses 7-12 Beauty either in men or women, often proves a snare both to themselves and others. This forbids pride in it, and requires constant watchfulness against the temptation that attends it. We have great need to make a covenant with our eyes, lest the eyes infect the heart. When lust has got power, decency, and reputation, and conscience, are all sacrificed. Potiphar's wife showed that her heart was fully set to do evil. Satan, when he found he could not overcome Joseph with the troubles and the frowns of the world, for in them he still held fast his principle, assaulted him with pleasures, which have ruined more than the former. But Joseph, by the grace of God, was enabled to resist and overcome this temptation; and his escape was as great an instance of the Divine power, as the deliverance of the three children out of the fiery furnace. This sin was one which might most easily beset him. The tempter was his mistress, one whose favour would help him forward; and it was at his utmost peril if he slighted her, and made her his enemy. The time and place favoured the temptation. To all this was added frequent, constant urging. The almighty grace of God enabled Joseph to overcome this assault of the enemy. He urges what he owed both to God and his master. We are bound in honour, as well as justice and gratitude, not in any thing to wrong those who place trust in us, how secretly soever it may be done. He would not offend his God. Three arguments Joseph urges upon himself. 1. He considers who he was that was tempted. One in covenant with God, who professed religion and relation to him. 2. What the sin was to which he was tempted. Others might look upon it as a small matter; but Joseph did not so think of it. Call sin by its own name, and never lessen it. Let sins of this nature always be looked upon as great wickedness, as exceedingly sinful. 3. Against whom he was tempted to sin, against God. Sin is against God, against his nature and his dominion, against his love and his design. Those that love God, for this reason hate sin. The grace of God enabled Joseph to overcome the temptation, by avoiding the temper. He would not stay to parley with the temptation, but fled from it, as escaping for his life. If we mean not to do iniquity, let us flee as a bird from the snare, and as a roe from the hunter.

창39:13 누명을 쓴 요셉
창 39:13 그가 요셉이 그 옷을 자기 손에 버려두고 도망하여 나감을 보고 
창 39:14 집 사람들을 불러서 그들에게 이르되 보라 주인이 히브리 사람을 우리에게 데려다가 우리를 희롱하게 하도다 그가 나 를 겁간코자 내게로 들어오기로 내가 크게 소리 질렀더니 
창 39:15 그가 나의 소리질러 부름을 듣고 그 옷을 내게 버려두고 도망하여 나갔느니라 하고 
창 39:16 그 옷을 곁에 두고 자기 주인이 집으로 돌아 오기를 기다려 
창 39:17 이 말로 그에게 고하여 가로되 당신이 우리에게 데려온 히브리 종이 나를 희롱코자 내게로 들어 왔기로 
창 39:18 내가 소리질러 불렀더니 그가 그 옷을 내게 버려두고 도망하여 나갔나이다 

Verses 13-18 Joseph's mistress, having tried in vain to make him a guilty man, endeavoured to be avenged on him. Those that have broken the bonds of modesty, will never be held by the bonds of truth. It is no new thing for the best of men to be falsely accused of the worst of crimes, by those who themselves are the worst of criminals. It is well there is a day of discovery coming, in which all shall appear in their true characters.

창 39:19 주인이 그 아내가 자기에게 고하기를 당신의 종이 내게 이같이 행하였다 하는 말을 듣고 심히 노한지라 
  
창39:20 감옥의 요셉
창 39:20 이에 요셉의 주인이 그를 잡아 옥에 넣으니 그 옥은 왕의 죄수를 가두는 곳이었더라 요셉이 옥에 갇혔으나 
창 39:21 여호와께서 요셉과 함께 하시고 그에게 인자를 더하사 전옥에게 은혜를 받게 하시매 
창 39:22 전옥이 옥중 죄수를 다 요셉의 손에 맡기므로 그 제반 사무를 요셉이 처리하고 
창 39:23 전옥은 그의 손에 맡긴 것을 무엇이든지 돌아보지 아니하였으니 이는 여호와께서 요셉과 함께 하심이라 여호와께서 그 의 범사에 형통케 하셨더라 
  

Verses 19-23 Joseph's master believed the accusation. Potiphar, it is likely, chose that prison, because it was the worst; but God designed to open the way to Joseph's honour. Joseph was owned and righted by his God. He was away from all his friends and relations; he had none to help or comfort him; but the Lord was with Joseph, and showed him mercy. Those that have a good conscience in a prison, have a good God there. God gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison; he trusted him to manage the affairs of the prison. A good man will do good wherever he is, and will be a blessing even in bonds and banishment. Let us not forget, through Joseph, to look unto Jesus, who suffered being tempted, yet without sin; who was slandered, and persecuted, and imprisoned, but without cause; who by the cross ascended to the throne. May we be enabled to follow the same path in submitting and in suffering, to the same place of glory.
