Comments on Genesis 39 Here we have another morality story with interesting characters. The story is well known and straightforward, so I won't comment on it at any length. The one thing I would point out it that here in these difficult circumstances, Joseph is weaned of his teenager spoiled brat attitude and grows into a hard working, responsible, conscientious young man. Thus showing the value of adversity. Copyright © 2002 by S. Kurt Neumiller . All rights reserved.
