Genesis 42:25-35

25Then JosephH3130 commandedH6680 to fillH4390 their vesselsH3627 with grainH1250, and to restoreH7725 every man’sH376 moneyH3701 into his sackH8242, and to giveH5414 them provision for the wayH1870: and thusH3651 was it done unto them.

26And they laded their asses with their grainH7668, and departed thence. 27And as oneH259 of them openedH6605 his sackH572 to giveH5414 his ass provender in the lodging-place, he espied his moneyH3701; and, behold, it was in the mouthH6310 of his sackH572. 28And he saidH559 unto his brethren, My moneyH3701 is restoredH7725; and, lo, it is even in my sackH572: and their heartH3820 failed them, and they turnedH7725 tremblingH2729 oneH376 to another, sayingH559, What is this that GodH430 hath done unto us? 29And they cameH935 unto JacobH3290 their fatherH1 unto the landH776 of CanaanH3667, and toldH5046 him all that had befallen them, sayingH559, 30The manH376, the lordH113 of the landH776, spake roughly with us, and took us for spiesH7270 of the country. 31And we saidH559 unto him, We are true men; we are no spiesH7270: 32we are twelve brethren, sonsH1121 of our fatherH1; oneH259 is not, and the youngestH6996 is this dayH3117 with our fatherH1 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667. 33And the manH376, the lordH113 of the landH776, saidH559 unto us, Hereby shall I knowH3045 that ye are true menH376: leave oneH259 of your brethren with me, and takeH3947 grain for the famine of your housesH1004, and go your way; 34and bringH935 your youngestH6996 brotherH251 unto me: then shall I knowH3045 that ye are no spiesH7270, but that ye are true men: soH3651 will I deliver you your brotherH251, and ye shall traffic in the landH776.

35And it came to pass as they emptied their sacksH8242, that, behold, every man’sH376 bundle of moneyH3701 wasH1961 in his sackH8242: and when they and their fatherH1 sawH7200 their bundles of moneyH3701, they wereH1961 afraidH3372.
