📚 Historical Context
Joseph had been sold into slavery by his brothers and was now working as a servant in the house of Potiphar, an Egyptian official. Despite being a foreigner and a slave in Egypt, Joseph's character and God's blessing on his work were becoming obvious to those around him. This was part of God's larger plan to position Joseph for his future role in saving Egypt and his own family during a coming famine.
