“For indeed I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews: and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon.”
For I was forcibly carried off from the land of the Hebrews, and even here I have done nothing to deserve being put in a dungeon. The summary of Joseph's situation — forcibly carried off, done nothing to deserve this — is the honest account of the double injustice: sold by his brothers, imprisoned by Potiphar's wife's lie. The application: naming the injustice honestly is the foundation of the legitimate request for help. Joseph does not exaggerate; he states what is true.
