(Genesis 39:5) From that time that he made him overseer in his house and over all that he had, the Lord blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; the blessing of Yahweh was on all that he had, in house and field.
Here we see something very interesting; when a man is faithful to God, he's not the only one that is blessed. We see this idea demonstrated through the Bible, but very clearly here that God not only blesses those who obey Him, but also those around that obedient servant. We see this same idea in the New Testament in passages like 1 Corinthians 7:14
For the unbelieving husband is made holy because of his wife, and the unbelieving wife is made holy because of her husband.
Now, the holiness that this is talking about isn't the kind related to righteousness, it is in regards of blessing. An unbelieving spouse is holy (set apart) unto blessing just because of the proximity of their faithful spouse.
