Note 231 — PART THE SECOND.
Reading edition
According to the explication of some who take the pronoun him to relate to Joseph, this passage may be rendered, ‘But the devil caused him (i.e., Joseph) to forget to make his application unto his lord;’ and to beg the good offices of his fellow-prisoner for his deliverance, instead of relying on God alone, as it became a prophet, especially, to have done.—S. (B.)
