Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations
וְאָמַ֤ר פַּרְעֹה֙ לִבְנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל נְבֻכִ֥ים הֵ֖ם בָּאָ֑רֶץ סָגַ֥ר עֲלֵיהֶ֖ם הַמִּדְבָּֽר
and=saying(ms) Farˊoh of,sons Yisrael wandering_aimlessly they on_the=earth he/it_closed on,them the,wilderness
If it would be more natural in your language, you could express this as an indirect quotation. Alternate translation: “Pharaoh will say that the Israelites are confused in the land, and the wilderness has closed in on them”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
סָגַ֥ר עֲלֵיהֶ֖ם הַמִּדְבָּֽר
he/it_closed on,them the,wilderness
Pharaoh speaks of the wilderness as a person who has trapped the Israelites. If this might be confusing for your readers, you could express this meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “It is as if the wilderness is closing in on them.”

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.
