Behold

The word "behold" here alerts us to pay attention to the surprising information that follows.

My money has been put back

This can be stated in active form. AT: "Someone has put my money back" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive)

Look at it

"Look in my sack!"

Their hearts sank

To become afraid is spoken of as if their heart were sinking. Here "hearts" stands for courage. AT: "They became very afraid" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)
