OET (OET-RV) That morning, Far’oh’s spirit was troubled, so he sent for all the sorcerers and wise men of Egypt and he told them his dreams, but no one could interpret them for the king.
וַיְהִ֤י בַבֹּ֨קֶר֙
and=he/it_was in/on/at/with,morning
The phrase Then it happened introduces and emphasizes an important event. It also increases suspense so that the audience wonders what the outcome will be. Many English translations do not include this phrase, possibly for reasons of naturalness. Do what is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “In the morning”
וַתִּפָּ֣עֶם רוּח֔וֹ
and=it_was_disturbed his/its=breath/wind/spirit
Alternate translation: “Pharaoh felt upset about the dreams,”
וַיִּשְׁלַ֗ח וַיִּקְרָ֛א
and,sent and=he/it_called
Alternate translation: “so he sent servants to summon” or “so he had messengers summon”
אֶת כָּל חַרְטֻמֵּ֥י מִצְרַ֖יִם וְאֶת כָּל חֲכָמֶ֑יהָ
DOM all/each/any/every magicians Miʦrayim/(Egypt) and=DOM all/each/any/every wise,its
Magicians were some of the wise men whom Pharaoh regularly consulted for advice. They had power from demons to do miracles (Exodus 7:11, 22; 8:7) and to communicate with the spirits of people who had died. They may have also been astrologers or Egyptian priests who were skilled in sacred writings. Some of that information could be put in a footnote. Alternate translation: “all the magicians and other wise men in the country of Egypt to come to him.”
וַיְסַפֵּ֨ר פַּרְעֹ֤ה לָהֶם֙ אֶת חֲלֹמ֔וֹ
and,told Farˊoh to/for=them DOM dreams,his
Alternate translation: “When they arrived, Pharaoh told them what he had dreamed,” or “Then he related to them what he had seen in his dreams,”
וְאֵין
and,no
Alternate translation: “but none of those men”
פּוֹתֵ֥ר אוֹתָ֖ם לְפַרְעֹֽה
interpret DOM,them for,Pharaoh
Alternate translation: “could tell him what the dreams meant.”
41:8 The magicians and wise men belonged to a guild of supposed experts in spiritual matters, including dreams and visions (cp. Exod 8:18-19; Dan 2:10-11), but they could not interpret these dreams. God used an Israelite slave to confound the wisdom of the world (cp. Dan 2). However powerful a nation becomes, it is still under God’s sovereign control (Dan 2:20-23).

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.
