TSNTyndale Study Notes:

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).


UTNuW 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]

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_of Miʦrayim/(Egypt) and=DOM all/each/any/every wise_of,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 Parˊoh to/for=them DOM dreams_of,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

Alternate translation: [could tell him what the dreams meant]
