Genesis 39:21 in Context — Genesis 39
19 E sucedeu que quando ouviu seu senhor as palavras que sua mulher lhe falara, dizendo: Assim me tratou teu servo; acendeu-se seu furor.
20 E tomou seu senhor a José, e pôs-lhe na casa do cárcere, onde estavam os presos do rei, e esteve ali na casa do cárcere.
21 Mas o SENHOR foi com José, e estendeu a ele sua misericórdia, e deu-lhe favor aos olhos do chefe da casa do cárcere.
22 E o chefe da casa do cárcere entregou em mão de José todos os presos que havia naquela prisão; tudo o que faziam ali, ele o fazia.
23 Não via o chefe do cárcere coisa alguma que em sua mão estava; porque o SENHOR era com ele, e o que ele fazia, o SENHOR o fazia prosperar.
