15 When he heard me scream for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house."
15 And it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled, and got him out.
15 And as soon as he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried out, he left his garment beside me and fled and got out of the house."
15 With all my yelling and screaming, he left his coat beside me here and ran outside."
15 And it happened, when he heard that I lifted my voice and cried out, that he left his garment with me, and fled and went outside."
15 When he heard me scream, he ran outside and got away, but he left his cloak behind with me."
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Genesis 39:15
Commentary on Genesis 39:13-18
(Read Genesis 39:13-18)
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.
