בְּמִרְכֶּ֤בֶת הַמִּשְׁנֶה֙ אֲשֶׁר ל֔וֹ
in/on/at/with,chariot the,second which/who to=him/it
A chariot is a cart with two or four wheels that was pulled by one or more horses. It was used as transportation and was especially used in battles. Translate this in a way that fits with this description. It may be helpful to include a picture of a chariot in your translation. Alternate translation: “in a royal horse-drawn cart as his second-in-command” or “in the horse-drawn cart that showed he was the second highest ruler in the country.”
וַיִּקְרְא֥וּ לְפָנָ֖יו
and,cried_out in,front,him
Make sure the way you translate shouted does not sound angry. Rather they were calling out loudly enough for people to hear them. Alternate translation: “As he rode, heralds walked in the streets ahead of him calling out to everyone,”

אַבְרֵ֑ךְ
bow_the_knee
The Hebrew text is ambiguous here. It could be: (1) a transliteration of an Egyptian word that means “Bow down in reverence/respect!” or “Make way for the king’s appointed one!” or “Welcome/Honor your new leader!” which is what people would be told to do to honor an important person; or (2) a combination of Hebrew words that means “This is the father of the king!”, which is similar to what Joseph says in Gen 45:8.
וְנָת֣וֹן אֹת֔וֹ עַ֖ל
and,set DOM=him/it on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in
See how you translated a similar sentence in verse 41. Alternate translation: “So Pharaoh put Joseph in charge of” or “In that way, Pharaoh officially installed Joseph to be the manager over”
כָּל אֶ֥רֶץ מִצְרָֽיִם
all/each/any/every earth/land Miʦrayim/(Egypt)
Alternate translation: “the whole land of Egypt.”
41:1-46 God had used two dreams to identify Joseph as a leader among his brothers (37:5-11). He used two dreams to test Joseph’s faith in prison (40:5-14). Now he would use two dreams to elevate Joseph from prison to preeminence. Joseph had repeatedly proven faithful in small matters; now he would be put in charge of great things.

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.
