Exegesis
The partitive ish meanshei habayit {אִישׁ מֵאַנְשֵׁי הַבַּיִת | ʾîš mē-ʾan-šê hab-bayit} highlights that not one of the men belonging to the house was present, and the locative babayit {בַּבָּיִת | bab-bā-yit} anchors this absence within the house.
In context — Genesis 39:11
Now it happened on this day that he went into the house to do his work , and none of the men of the household was in the house.
