וּ⁠קְח֧וּ אֶת־אֲבִי⁠כֶ֛ם וְ⁠אֶת־בָּתֵּי⁠כֶ֖ם וּ⁠בֹ֣אוּ אֵלָ֑⁠י

and,take DOM father_of,your_all's and=DOM households_of,your_all's and,come to,me

Make sure it is clear in your translation that verse 18 is still part of Pharaoh’s message to Joseph’s brothers. Also make sure the pronouns that you use throughout verses 17 and 18 fit with whether you translate this embedded quote with a direct or indirect quote. Alternate translation: [Then tell them to bring their father and their families back here to me]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

וְ⁠אֶתְּנָ֣ה לָ⁠כֶ֗ם

and,give to/for=you_all

Consider whether or not it is better in your language to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: [I will give them]

אֶת־טוּב֙ אֶ֣רֶץ מִצְרַ֔יִם

DOM DOM best_of earth/land Miʦrayim/(Egypt)

Alternate translation: [the best land in the country of Egypt to live in]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְ⁠אִכְל֖וּ אֶת־חֵ֥לֶב הָ⁠אָֽרֶץ

and,eat DOM fat_of the=earth/land

This idiom means that they would live comfortably with the best of everything; it does not just refer to food. Consider whether or not you have a similar idiom in your language.
