非利士人的將領們說：«這些希伯來人在這裡做什麼？»亞吉對非利士人的將領們說：«這不是以色列王掃羅的臣僕大衛嗎？他在我這裡已有些日子，甚至可說有些年了。自從他投奔我的那天起，直到今天，我在他身上沒有找到任何過錯。»
Ramban
SAVE THE BREAD WHICH HE DID EAT. In the words of our Rabbis, this is a refined expression which refers to his wife.219Bereshith Rabbah 86:7.
Rabbi Abraham ibn Ezra said in interpretation of the verse that whatever Potiphar possessed was left in the hands of Joseph excepting the bread which he ate. This he did not even permit him to touch since he was a Hebrew. It was the customary behavior of the Egyptians towards the Hebrews that they not permit the Hebrews to touch their food, because that is abhorrent to the Egyptians.220Further, 43:32.
Possibly this is so. Perhaps the interpretation of the verse is that his lord did not know of Joseph taking anything from him save only the bread which Joseph ate, but no other pleasures as young people are wont to do. Nor did he gather wealth and property, just as it is said of David, And I have found no fault in him since he fell unto me unto this day.221I Samuel 29:3. Now the verse, Having me, he knoweth not what is in the house,222Verse 8 here. Joseph speaking to Potiphar’s wife. expresses another matter, namely, that he [Joseph’s lord] did not trouble himself to know about anything inside the house. But the present verse, Having him, he knew not aught, is an expression of negation; he knew that nothing in the house is [taken by Joseph except the bread which he eats].223See my Hebrew commentary, pp. 219-220.
