OET (OET-LV) And_he/it_was as_spoke_she to Yōşēf day day and_not he_listened to_her/it to_lie beside_her to_be with_her/it.
OET (OET-RV) But she kept persisting with Yosef day after, but he wouldn’t lie with her like she wanted.
וַיְהִ֕י כְּדַבְּרָ֥הּ אֶל יוֹסֵ֖ף י֣וֹם י֑וֹם
and=he/it_was as,spoke,she to/towards Yōşēf/(Joseph) day day
The phrase “Then/And it happened” is used several times in this chapter (verses 5, 7, 10, 11, 13, 15, 18, 19) to introduce and emphasize important events and to increase suspense so that the audience wonders what the outcome will be. Many English translations have omitted this phrase, possibly for reasons of naturalness. Consider whether you have an expression like this that is natural in your language.
וְלֹא שָׁמַ֥ע אֵלֶ֛יהָ לִשְׁכַּ֥ב אֶצְלָ֖הּ
and=not listen to=her/it to,lie beside,her
Alternate translation: “he did not do what she wanted, but refused to lie with her,” or “he refused her demands”
לִהְי֥וֹת עִמָּֽהּ
to=be with=her/it
Alternate translation: “and he stayed away from her.” or “and would not even go near her.”
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.

OET (OET-RV) But she kept persisting with Yosef day after, but he wouldn’t lie with her like she wanted.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
