Exegesis
The construct vekol-yeshlo {וְכָל־יֶשׁ־לוֹ | wə-kāl-yeš-lô} ‘and all that belonged to him’ serves as a comprehensive object of natan {נָתַן | nāṯan} ‘he gave’, while the idiom beyado {בְּיָדוֹ | bə-yā-ḏô} ‘into his hand’ conveys the transfer of stewardship rather than mere possession. This structure highlights the progressive entrustment of authority and resources to Joseph.
In context — Genesis 39:4
And Joseph found favor in his eyes, and he served him; and he set him as overseer over his house , and he placed all that he had into his hand.
