Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
וְכָל הָאָ֨רֶץ֙
and=all the=earth/land
This phrase refers to the people living on the earth. Consider whether or not you need to make that explicit in your language. See how you translated a similar metonymy (“all the land”) in verse 55. Alternate translation: “In fact, people from all over the earth”
בָּ֣אוּ מִצְרַ֔יְמָה לִשְׁבֹּ֖ר אֶל יוֹסֵ֑ף
they_went Egypt,to to,buy_grain to/towards Yōşēf/(Joseph)
Alternate translation: “started traveling to Egypt to buy food from Joseph,”

that/for/because/then/when severe the,famine in=all the=earth/land
For some languages it is clearer or more natural to put this clause near the beginning of verse 57 and say, “In fact, the famine was/became so severe/terrible in/throughout the entire/whole world that people started coming/traveling to Egypt from all over the world to buy grain from Joseph.” Do what is best in your language. See how you translated “severe/terrible” in verse 56. Alternate translation: “because the food shortage was so severe throughout the entire world.”
41:47-57 Pharaoh’s dreams were fulfilled in keeping with Joseph’s interpretation.

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.
