Genesis 37:17

37:17 The man said, “They left this area, ¹  for I heard them say, ‘Let’s go to Dothan.’” So Joseph went after his brothers and found them at Dothan.

Genesis 42:28

42:28 He said to his brothers, “My money was returned! Here it is in my sack!” They were dismayed; ²  they turned trembling one to another ³  and said, “What in the world has God done to us?” ⁴ 

Genesis 42:33

42:33 “Then the man, the lord of the land, said to us, ‘This is how I will find out if you are honest men. Leave one of your brothers with me, and take grain ⁵  for your hungry households and go.

[37:17]  ¹ tn Heb “they traveled from this place.”

[42:28]  ² 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.”

[42:28]  ³ tn Heb “and they trembled, a man to his neighbor.”

[42:28]  ⁴ tn Heb “What is this God has done to us?” The demonstrative pronoun (“this”) adds emphasis to the question.

[42:33]  ³ tn The word “grain” is not in the Hebrew text, but has been supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.
