Genesis 39:8-9

Context
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.
