Joseph's master took him and put him in prison, the place where the king's prisoners were confined. But while Joseph was there in the prison. The imprisonment of the innocent man is the continuation of the descent that began with the pit. Pit, slavery, prison — each step down is the step that brings Joseph closer to the position from which God will elevate him. The application: the descent into prison is not the end of the covenant story; it is the penultimate step before the elevation. The LORD's presence goes with Joseph into the prison.
