Genesis40:15

15 For indeed I was stollen away out of the land of the Hebrews , and here also have I done nothing , that they should put me into the dungeon.

Taken away by force and fraud without my own or Fathers consent.

Out of the land of Canaan, which he might call the Land of Hebrews, either because they now [illegible: 1+ letters]welt in it, or by way of protestation of their right and claim to it by Gods gift. Or rather thus, out of that part of Canaan where the Hebrews dwell: For the word Land is not onely spoken of whole Countries, as of the whole Land of Canaan, but of any parts or parcels thereof, as Gen. 13. 6. and 22. 2. and 23. 15. and 34. 1.

Observe, that Ioseph doth not accuse either his brethren or his mistress, but onely asserts his own innocency, which was necessary for his deliverance.
