Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
נָתַ֨ן לָהֶ֧ם הָֽאֱלֹהִ֛ים מַדָּ֥ע וְהַשְׂכֵּ֖ל
he/it_gave to/for=them the=ʼElohīm knowledge and=understanding
This can be reworded so that the abstract nouns knowledge and insight can be expressed as the verbs “learn” and “understand.” Alternate translation: “God gave them the ability to learn and understand clearly”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
בְּכָל־סֵ֣פֶר וְחָכְמָ֑ה
in=all writing and=wisdom
Here “all” is a generalization to show that they had a very good education and understanding. Alternate translation: “in many things that the Babylonians had written and studied”
1:17 All four young men were outstanding students. God gave Daniel the special ability to interpret . . . visions and dreams, which were often prophetic (cp. Joseph, Gen 37:5-11).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
