OET (OET-LV) And_he_left all_of that to_him/it in_the_hand_of Yōşēf and_not he_knew with_him/it anything if/because (if) the_food which he was_eating and_he/it_was Yōşēf handsome_of form and_handsome_of appearance.
OET (OET-RV) Potifar left all his belonging in Yosef’s charge, so much so that he didn’t have to think about anything else beyond what he wanted to eat.
¶ Now Yosef had developed into a well-built and handsome young man,

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_left all/each/any/every which/who to=him/it in,the_hand_of Yōşēf/(Joseph)'s and=not knowing with=him/it anything that/for/because/then/when if the,food which/who he/it ate and=he/it_was Yōşēf/(Joseph) handsome_of form and,handsome_of appearance )
See how you translated a similar idiom gave into his hand in [verse 4](../39/04.md). Alternate translation: [In fact, he gave Joseph the responsibility of managing everything that he had, so that]
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-exceptions
וְלֹא־יָדַ֤ע אִתּוֹ֙ מְא֔וּמָה כִּ֥י אִם־הַלֶּ֖חֶם אֲשֶׁר־ה֣וּא אוֹכֵ֑ל
and=not knowing with=him/it anything (Some words not found in UHB: and,he_left all/each/any/every which/who to=him/it in,the_hand_of Yōşēf/(Joseph)'s and=not knowing with=him/it anything that/for/because/then/when if the,food which/who he/it ate and=he/it_was Yōşēf/(Joseph) handsome_of form and,handsome_of appearance )
If it would appear in your language that the author was making a statement and then contradicting it, you could reword this as a positive statement. Potiphar did more than decide what to eat; that was just one example of personal decisions which were all he had to concern himself with. Alternate translation: [the only things he needed to decide about in his household were personal things like what food he wanted to eat]
Note 3 topic: writing-background
וַיְהִ֣י יוֹסֵ֔ף יְפֵה־תֹ֖אַר וִיפֵ֥ה מַרְאֶֽה
and=he/it_was Yōşēf/(Joseph) handsome_of form and,handsome_of appearance
Some languages have a conjunction such as Now that introduces background information and a change of topic. For other languages a paragraph break is enough (without a conjunction). Alternate translation: [Joseph was muscular and good-looking] or [Now Joseph was a very handsome young man]

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.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
