UTN uW Translation Notes:

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]

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]
