Make sure your translation of Joseph’s response sounds polite. See what you did in verse 9. Alternate translation: “Your Majesty, I cannot do that by myself,”

Consider whether or not it is more natural in your language to use Pharaoh’s name at the beginning of this quote (instead of here) and say, “King Pharaoh, I do not have that ability…” Alternate translation: “for your well-being King Pharaoh.” or “so that you, King Pharaoh, will have peace in your spirit.”
