Genesis 42:28

Context
42:28 He said to his brothers, “My money was returned! Here it is in my sack!” They were dismayed; 1  they turned trembling one to another 2  and said, “What in the world has God done to us?” 3 

1 tn Heb “and their heart went out.” Since this expression is used only here, the exact meaning is unclear. The following statement suggests that it may refer to a sudden loss of emotional strength, so “They were dismayed” adequately conveys the meaning (cf. NRSV); NIV has “Their hearts sank.”

2 tn Heb “and they trembled, a man to his neighbor.”

3 tn Heb “What is this God has done to us?” The demonstrative pronoun (“this”) adds emphasis to the question.
