BrLXX Καὶ εὗρεν Ἰωσὴφ χάριν ἐναντίον τοῦ κυρίου αὐτοῦ, καὶ εὐηρέστησεν αὐτῷ. Καὶ κατέστησε αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοῦ· καὶ πάντα ὅσα ἦν αὐτῷ, ἔδωκε διὰ χειρὸς Ἰωσήφ.
(Kai heuren Yōsaʸf ⱪarin enantion tou kuriou autou, kai euaʸrestaʸsen autōi. Kai katestaʸse auton epi tou oikou autou; kai panta hosa aʸn autōi, edōke dia ⱪeiros Yōsaʸf.)
39:1–47:31 Joseph began as a slave, alienated from his brothers and separated from his father; he ended as Pharaoh’s viceroy. Through the trips to Egypt, the covenant family went from the brink of apostasy, divided by jealousy and deception, to being reconciled and united by Judah’s intercession and Joseph’s forgiveness.
39:1-23 Joseph’s integrity in Potiphar’s service contrasts with Judah’s moral failure (ch 38). God was with Joseph (39:2-3, 21, 23) and enabled him to prosper and be a blessing (see study notes on 12:1-9; 28:16-22) despite his slavery and imprisonment.

Make sure that your translation of in his eyes refers here to Joseph’s master, not Yahweh. Also, see how you translated the idiom “found favor in … eyes” in Gen 6:8. Alternate translation: “So he was pleased with him and made him his personal servant”

and,made_~_overseer,him on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in house,his and=all that_is to=him/it he/it_gave in=his/its=hand
Make sure your translation of the pronouns (“he,” “him,” and his) in verses 2 through 6 refers to the correct person at each point in the text. Also see how you translated the idiom “gave … into the hand of” in Gen 32:16. Alternate translation: “He also put Joseph in charge of managing his household and taking care of everything else that he owned.” or “He also appointed him as the overseer of his entire household and entrusted into his care everything that belonged to him.”
