The context of Genesis 39:23 in the King James Version of the Bible is the story of Joseph in Egypt. Joseph was sold into slavery by his jealous brothers but ended up prospering in Potiphar’s house, the captain of the guard. However, he faced temptation when Potiphar’s wife tried to seduce him. Despite her advances, Joseph remained faithful to God and refused her advances. This led to Potiphar’s wife falsely accusing Joseph of assaulting her, which resulted in Joseph being thrown into prison.
The verse itself reads, “The keeper of the prison looked not to anything that was under his hand; because the Lord was with him, and that which he did, the Lord made it to prosper.”
This verse highlights how God was with Joseph, even in prison, and continued to bless him. It also demonstrates Joseph’s integrity and perseverance in difficult circumstances. Despite being in prison, Joseph was favored by God, and everything he did was successful. This passage serves as a reminder of God’s faithfulness and the importance of remaining steadfast in one’s faith, even in the face of adversity.
