The translator has changed that because we don't speak that way anymore. We don't say that somebody's sore afraid. Well, I like it. I mean, it's one thing to be afraid. It's another thing to be sore and afraid. My only guess here in the derivation of the words here in the development of language is what the original translators were trying to get at here was that these men were so afraid it hurt.
