“And it came to pass from the time that he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the Lord blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake; and the blessing of the Lord was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field.”
From the time he put him in charge of his household and of all that he owned, the LORD blessed the household of the Egyptian because of Joseph. The blessing of Potiphar's household because of Joseph is the Abrahamic covenant operating in Egypt — in you all the nations will be blessed (Genesis 12:3). The application: the covenant blessing on the individual overflows into the surrounding community. Potiphar's household is blessed because Joseph is in it.
