TSNTyndale Study Notes:

39:2 God is mentioned for the first time (apart from 38:7-10) since Jacob built his altar in Bethel (35:1-15); his covenant name, “the Lord,” is used for the first time since Jacob left Laban (31:49).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

וַ⁠יְהִ֤י יְהוָה֙ אֶת יוֹסֵ֔ף

and=he/it_was YHWH DOM Yōşēf/(Joseph)

See how you translated was with in Gen 21:20; 26:28. Alternate translation: “But Yahweh was with Joseph and helped him,”

וַ⁠יְהִ֖י אִ֣ישׁ מַצְלִ֑יחַ

and=he/it_was (a)_man successful

Alternate translation: “so that he succeeded in what he did” or “so that he did everything very well”

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

וַ⁠יְהִ֕י בְּ⁠בֵ֥ית אֲדֹנָ֖י⁠ו הַ⁠מִּצְרִֽי

and=he/it_was in=house_of master,his the,Egyptian

For some languages it is more natural to put this clause first in this verse and say, “As Joseph worked in his Egyptian master/owner’s house, Yahweh was with him/Joseph and helped/blessed him, so that he succeeded in everything he did.” Do what is best in your language.
