13 When she saw that he had left his cloak in her hand and had run out of the house,
13 And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth,
13 And as soon as she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had fled out of the house,
13 When she realized that he had left his coat in her hand and run outside,
13 And so it was, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and fled outside,
13 When she saw that she was holding his cloak and he had fled,
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Genesis 39:13
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.
