UTNuW Translation Notes:

וַ⁠יִּצְבֹּ֨ר יוֹסֵ֥ף

and,stored_up Yōşēf

See how you translated “store/stockpile” in verse 35. Alternate translation: “Joseph had his helpers store up”

בָּ֛ר כְּ⁠ח֥וֹל הַ⁠יָּ֖ם

grain like,sand the=sea

See how you translated “as the sand of the sea” in Gen 32:12 and a similar phrase in Gen 22:17. Alternate translation: “so much grain that it looked as plentiful as grains of sand beside the sea” or “… as plentiful as the grains of sand on the beach.”

הַרְבֵּ֣ה מְאֹ֑ד עַ֛ד כִּי

in_~_abundance very until that/for/because/then/when

Consider whether or not it is better in your language to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “In fact, there was so much that” or “In fact, it was so plentiful that after a while”

חָדַ֥ל לִ⁠סְפֹּ֖ר

stopped to,measuring

It was probably Joseph’s helpers who measured the grain and kept records of it. See how you handled this at the beginning of this verse. Alternate translation: “he had them stop keeping track of it” or “they had to stop writing down how much there was,”

כִּי אֵ֥ין מִסְפָּֽר

that/for/because/then/when that/for/because/then/when not counted

Alternate translation: “because there was so much that they could no longer record it.”
