Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

14. Then she called unto the men of her house-Disappointed and affronted, she vowed revenge and accused Joseph, first to the servants of the house, and on his return to her lord.

See, he hath brought in an Hebrew . to mock us-an affected and blind aspersion of her husband for keeping in his house an Hebrew, the very abomination of Egyptians.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

39:13-18 Joseph's mistress, having tried in vain to make him a guilty man, endeavoured to be avenged on him. Those that have broken the bonds of modesty, will never be held by the bonds of truth. It is no new thing for the best of men to be falsely accused of the worst of crimes, by those who themselves are the worst of criminals. It is well there is a day of discovery coming, in which all shall appear in their true characters.

She begins her accusation in the affected language of offended modesty, rage, and disdain, by charging her husband, whom we may reasonably assume she did not greatly love, with being an accessory to the indignity she pretended to have received: He hath brought in a Hebrew, a very abomination to an Egyptian, to mock us, insult and treat me in a base, unworthy manner.
