43:28 Note: BHS has been faithful to the Leningrad Codex where there might be a question of the validity of the form and we keep the same form as BHS.
43:28 Note: Adaptations to a Qere which L and BHS, by their design, do not indicate.
OET (OET-RV) “Things are well for your servant our father. And yes, he’s still alive.” Then they bowed their heads and bowed to the ground again.
Note 1 topic: translate-honorifics
שָׁל֛וֹם לְעַבְדְּךָ֥ לְאָבִ֖ינוּ עוֹדֶ֣נּוּ חָ֑י
well with,servant,your with,father,our still,he living_(creature)
The brothers refer to their father as your servant here to show respect to Joseph and to acknowledge his high position. Translate this phrase in a polite way that shows respect toward Joseph. Also, the pronoun our is exclusive here because Joseph’s brothers did not yet know that they were talking to Joseph. Alternate translation: “Yes sir, our father, who highly respects you, is still alive and blessed.”
וַֽיִּקְּד֖וּ
and,bowed_~_heads
In this verse, the terms bowed and bowed down translate two different Hebrew words that together describe and emphasize the process of bowing down to the ground. Alternate translation: “Then they knelt”

וַיִּֽשְׁתַּחֲוּֽוּ
(Some words not found in UHB: and=they_said well with,servant,your with,father,our still,he living_(creature) and,bowed_~_heads and,did_obeisance )
See how you translated bowed down in verse 26. Alternate translation: “and prostrated themselves in front of him again.”

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
