and=he/it_was (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was though,spoke,she to/towards Yōşēf/(Joseph) day day and=not listen to=her/it to,lie beside,her to=be with=her/it )
The phrase “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.

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.
