Clarke's Genesis 39:20 Bible Commentary
Put him into the prison - בית סהר beith sohar, literally the round house; in such a form the prison was probably built.
Wesley's Genesis 39:20 Bible Commentary
39:20 Where the king's prisoners were bound - Potiphar, it is likely, chose that prison because it was the worst; for there the irons entered into the soul, Psalms 105:18 , but God designed it to pave the way to his enlargement. Our Lord Jesus, like Joseph was bound, and numbered with the transgressors.
