Matthew Poole and continuators on Genesis 39:14

14 That she called unto the men of her house , and spake unto them, saying, see, he hath brought in an Hebrew unto us, to mock us : he came in unto me to lie with me, and I cryed with a loud voice.

To such as were in other parts of the house, whom she called in as witnesses for her husbands satisfaction.

(i. e.) My Husband, whom she would not name, as it were out of disdain and high displeasure for being the occasion of this horrid affront. Thus the pronouns he and they are oft used by way of contempt, as Luk. 14. 24. and 19. 27. Iohn 7. 11. and 8. 10.

So she calls him to render him hateful and contemptible to the Egyptians.

To abuse me; or to vitiate and defile me: For that word is oft used in an obscene sense.

She insinuates, that this was not onely an indignity to her, but an injury to all the Family, which therefore they were obliged to revenge.
