that/for/because/then/when to_be_forced I_was_forced
Consider what is the best way to translate this passive clause in your language to emphasize Joseph. Alternate translation: “Surely I was taken by force”
מֵאֶ֖רֶץ הָעִבְרִ֑ים
from,land the,Hebrews
The Hebrew people were the descendants of Abraham (See: note at Gen 14:13), and Joseph’s people were known as Hebrews in Egypt (Gen 39:14, 17). Their land, which God gave them, was the land of Canaan (Gen 13:12, 14-15; 17:8, 23:19; 37:1). Some of that information could be put in a footnote. Alternate translation: “from the land where the Hebrew people live.”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וְגַם פֹּה֙
and=also here
Alternate translation: “And while I have been here in Egypt,”
לֹא עָשִׂ֣יתִֽי מְא֔וּמָה
not done anything
Alternate translation: “I have not done anything wrong”
כִּֽי שָׂמ֥וּ אֹתִ֖י בַּבּֽוֹר
that/for/because/then/when that/for/because/then/when put DOM=me in/on/at/with,dungeon
Alternate translation: “to be put into this prison.” or “to deserve being in a prison.”
40:1-23 Joseph did not lose faith in God’s promises, as evidenced by his readiness to interpret the dreams of two prisoners. He was still convinced that God’s revelation in his own two dreams (37:5-11) was true, and he had not abandoned hope that they would be fulfilled. When the fellow prisoners’ dreams were fulfilled exactly as Joseph said, this confirmed that his previous dreams were from God.

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.
