John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Genesis 42:28

Their heart failed them, and they were afraid, saying one to another, What is this that God hath done to us? — They knew that the Egyptians abhorred a Hebrew, Genesis 43:32, and therefore, since they could not expect to receive any kindness from them, they concluded that this was done with a design to pick a quarrel with them, the rather because the man, the lord of the land, had charged them as spies. Their own conscience were awake, and their sins set in order before them, and this puts them into confusion. When the events of providence concerning us are surprising, it is good to enquire what it is that God has done and is doing with us?

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

(i) Because their conscience accused them of their sin, they thought God had brought them trouble through the money.
