OET (OET-LV) And_he/it_was after the_things the_these and_throw the_wife master’s_his DOM eyes_her to Yōşēf and_she/it_said lie with_me.
OET (OET-RV) and after a while, his master’s wife started to develop a crush on him and told him, “Come to bed with me.”
וַיְהִ֗י אַחַר֙ הַדְּבָרִ֣ים הָאֵ֔לֶּה
and=he/it_was after the,things the=these
The phrase And it happened introduces and emphasizes an important event. Many English translations do not include this phrase. Do what is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “After he had been there for a while,”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וַתִּשָּׂ֧א אֵֽשֶׁת־אֲדֹנָ֛יו אֶת־עֵינֶ֖יהָ אֶל־יוֹסֵ֑ף
and,cast wife_of master's,his DOM eyes,her to/towards Yōşēf
Many languages have a similar idiom that fits well here. Do what is best in your language.
Note 2 topic: writing-quotations
וַתֹּ֖אמֶר
and=she/it_said
Translate this quote introduction in a way that fits well with what Potiphar’s wife says to Joseph. Alternate translation: “and said to him,” or “and demanded him,”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism
שִׁכְבָ֥ה עִמִּֽי
lie, with,me
See how you translated the idiom “lie with” in Gen 19:32. Alternate translation: “Sleep with me!”
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-LV) And_he/it_was after the_things the_these and_throw the_wife master’s_his DOM eyes_her to Yōşēf and_she/it_said lie with_me.
OET (OET-RV) and after a while, his master’s wife started to develop a crush on him and told him, “Come to bed with me.”
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
