uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וַ⁠יִּקְבֹּ֞ץ

and,gathered

When the Bible says that a leader such as Joseph did something, it often means that he had it done by people under his authority. Decide whether you want to include this information in your translation or in a footnote. Alternate translation: “So Joseph told the supervisors under him to collect” or “So Joseph had his helpers gather”

אֶת־כָּל־אֹ֣כֶל ׀ שֶׁ֣בַע שָׁנִ֗ים אֲשֶׁ֤ר הָיוּ֙ בְּ⁠אֶ֣רֶץ מִצְרַ֔יִם

DOM all/each/any/every food_of seven years which/who they_were in=land Miʦrayim/(Egypt)

See how you translated all the food in verse 35. Alternate translation: “all the extra food that was produced in the land of Egypt during those seven years,” or “all the extra grain that people produced during those seven years in the land of Egypt,”

וַ⁠יִּתֶּן־אֹ֖כֶל בֶּ⁠עָרִ֑ים

and,stored food in/on/at/with,cities

Alternate translation: “and he had them store that grain in the cities.”
