OET (OET-RV) Potifar’s wife grabbed Yosef’s cloak and demanded, “Come to bed with me.” But he pulled away and fled outside the house, leaving her there holding his cloak.
וַתִּתְפְּשֵׂ֧הוּ בְּבִגְד֛וֹ
and,caught,him in/on/at/with,garment,his
The word garment is very general and probably refers to an outer article of clothing, such as a robe or tunic.
Note 1 topic: writing-quotations
לֵאמֹ֖ר
to=say
See how you translated this quote introduction in verse 7. Alternate translation: “and said to him,” or “and said”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism
שִׁכְבָ֣ה עִמִּ֑י
lie, with,me
See how you translated this quote in verse 7. Alternate translation: “Sleep with me!”
וַיַּעֲזֹ֤ב בִּגְדוֹ֙ בְּיָדָ֔הּ וַיָּ֖נָס וַיֵּצֵ֥א הַחֽוּצָה
and,left garment,his in/on/at/with,hand,her and,fled and=he/it_went_out the,outside,to
Make sure your translation does not sound here like Joseph put his garment in her hands. Rather, it came off in her hands as he was fleeing. Alternate translation: “But immediately he fled and left his tunic behind in her hands as he ran outside” or “But he immediately got away from her and fled outdoors, leaving his tunic behind in her hands.”
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.
