name also shows, which signifies the fruit of Pot or Phut, that is, the son or grandson of one of that name (m); which might be common in Egypt, since it was the name of a son of Ham, Gen 10:6 , from whom the land of Egypt is called the land of Ham, Psa 105:23 ; of this man and his offices; see Gill on Gen 37:36 , he bought him: that is, "Joseph": of the hands of the Ishmaelites, who had brought him down thither; what they gave for him we know, but what they sold him for to Potiphar is not said; no doubt they got a good price for him, and his master had a good bargain too, as appears by what follows.
