Amplified Bible
Genesis 43:19-25
19So they approached the steward of Joseph’s house, and talked with him at the entrance of the house,
20and said, “Oh, my lord, we indeed came down here the first time to buy food;
21and when we arrived at the inn [after leaving here], we opened our sacks and there was each man’s money [with which he had paid for grain], in full, returned in the mouth of his sack. So we have brought it back [this time].
22We have also brought down with us additional money to buy food; we do not know who put our money [back] in our sacks [last time].”
23But the steward [encouraged them and] said, “Peace be to you, do not be afraid; your God and the God of your father has [miraculously] given you treasure in your sacks. I [already] had your money [which you paid to us].” Then he brought Simeon out to them.
24Then the steward brought the men into Joseph’s house and gave them water, and they washed [the dust off] their feet; and he gave their donkeys feed.
25So they prepared the present [of tribute] for Joseph before his arrival at noon; for they had heard that they were to eat a meal there.
