DOM graciousness/kindness/favour/beauty of,the_people (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_gave YHWH DOM graciousness/kindness/favour/beauty of,the_people in/on=both_eyes_of from_Miʦrayim/(Miʦrayim/(Egypt))s also/yet the=man Mosheh big/great very in=land Miʦrayim/(Egypt) in/on=both_eyes_of officials_of Parˊoh's and,in,the_eyes_of of,the_people )
Here, in the eyes of the Egyptians is an idiom for the Egyptian’s feelings or opinion. Favor means those feelings are positive. Taken together, this means that when the Egyptians see the Israelites leaving Egypt, they will gladly help them. (Because the Egyptians have suffered under God’s judgment, the Egyptians want so badly to see them leave). If your language has the same or a similar idiom, you can translate or use it. Otherwise, you can translate the meaning. See how you translated this in 3:21.
