Genesis 39:8-9
39:8 But he refused, saying 1 to his master’s wife, “Look, my master does not give any thought 2 to his household with me here, 3 and everything that he owns he has put into my care. 4
39:9 There is no one greater in this household than I am. He has withheld nothing from me except you because you are his wife. So how could I do 5 such a great evil and sin against God?”
1 tn Heb “and he said.”
2 tn Heb “know.”
3 tn The word “here” has been supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.
4 tn Heb “hand.” This is a metonymy for being under the control or care of Joseph.
5 tn The nuance of potential imperfect fits this context.
