Exegesis
The expressions mah babbayit {מַה־בַּבָּיִת | mah bǎbbā-yit} “what is in the house” and vekol asher yesh lo {وְכֹל אֲשֶׁר־יֶשׁ־ל֖וֹ | wə-ḵōl ʾă-šer-yēš-lô} “and all that he has” frame the scope of resources, and the metaphor natan beyadi {נָתַן בְּיָדִי | nā-ṯan bə-yā-ḏî} “he has given into my hand” conveys delegated authority and responsibility. The English rendering preserves the sequence of Hebrew verbal forms in past tense narrative and maintains key idioms to reflect Joseph’s trustworthiness and moral stance.
