Genesis 39:20-23
20So Joseph’sH3130 masterH113 tookH3947 him and 1putH5414 him into the jailH1004H5470, the placeH4725 whereH834 the king’sH4428 prisonersH615 were confinedH631; and he was thereH8033 in the jailH1004H5470.
21But 2the LordH3068 was with JosephH3130 and extendedH5186 kindnessH2617 to him, and 3gaveH5414 him favorH2580 in the sightH5869 of the chiefH8269 jailerH1004H5470.
22The chiefH8269 jailerH1004H5470 4committedH5414 to Joseph’sH3130 5chargeH3027 allH3605 the prisonersH615 whoH834 were in the jailH1004H5470; so that whateverH3605H834 was doneH6213 thereH8033, he was 6responsibleH6213 for it.
237The chiefH8269 jailerH1004H5470 did not superviseH7200 anythingH3605H3972 under 8Joseph’s chargeH3027 becauseH834 9the LordH3068 was with him; and whateverH834 he didH6213, 10the LordH3068 made to prosperH6743.
