OET (OET-RV) And you’re commanded, ‘Do this: Take carts with you from here for your little ones and for your wives, and get your father and come.
וְאַתָּ֥ה צֻוֵּ֖יתָה
and=you(ms) commanded
The pronoun you is singular here and refers to Joseph. This clause is not part of Pharaoh’s message to Joseph’s brothers (verses 17-20). Make sure that is clear in your translation. Alternate translation: “You are also directed to tell them”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes
זֹ֣את עֲשׂ֑וּ קְחוּ לָכֶם֩ & עֲגָל֗וֹת
this(f) do take to/for=you_all & wagons
These carts or wagons had two or four wheels and were pulled by animals such as oxen or donkeys. Consider whether it is better in your language to translate this embedded quote with a direct or indirect quote. See what you did for a similar case in verses 17-18. Alternate translation: “Take some of my carts with you” or “to take some of my carts with them”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
לְטַפְּכֶם֙ וְלִנְשֵׁיכֶ֔ם
for,little_ones,your_all's and,for,wives,your_all's
For some languages it is more natural (and respectful) to put wives before little ones in this phrase. Do what is best in your language. Also see how you translated little ones in Gen 43:8. Alternate translation: “for your young children and wives to ride in,” or “for your wives and young children to ride in,”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes
וּנְשָׂאתֶ֥ם אֶת אֲבִיכֶ֖ם וּבָאתֶֽם
and,bring DOM father,your_all's and,come
Make sure the pronouns you use throughout verses 19 and 20 fit with whether you translate the embedded quote with a direct or indirect quote. Also see how you translated get your father in verse 18. Alternate translation: “then bring them and your father back here to live.” or “Then tell them to bring their father and their families back here to live.”
45:16-25 Joseph sent his brothers with instructions to bring Jacob and the entire family to Egypt. Out of gratitude for Joseph’s having saved all of Egypt (45:18; see 47:20), Pharaoh promised the best of all the land of Egypt, and Joseph gave them the finest products of Egypt.

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.
