Genesis 39:13 | Matthew Henry's Commentary
And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth, — Genesis 39:13
Source Coverage: 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.
