TSNTyndale Study Notes:

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.

בַּ⁠אֲשֶׁ֥ר יְהוָ֖ה אִתּ֑⁠וֹ

in/on/at/with, YHWH with=him/it

For some languages, it is more natural to put this clause first in this verse and say, “Because/Since Yahweh was with Joseph and helped him to succeed in whatever he did, the warden did not need to supervise/oversee anything that Joseph was in charge of.” Do what is best in your language.

וַֽ⁠אֲשֶׁר־ה֥וּא עֹשֶׂ֖ה יְהוָ֥ה מַצְלִֽיחַ

and,whatever he/it producing YHWH made_~_prosper

See how you translated a similar clause (“Yahweh made all that he was doing successful”) in verse 3. Alternate translation: [and gave him success in whatever he did] or [and helped him to succeed at everything he did]
