Genesis 43:12-23

12and takeH3947 doubleH4932 moneyH3701 in your handH3027; and the moneyH3701 that was returnedH7725 in the mouthH6310 of your sacksH572 carry again in your handH3027; peradventure it was an oversight: 13takeH3947 also your brotherH251, and ariseH6965, goH7725 again unto the manH376: 14and GodH410 AlmightyH7706 giveH5414 you mercy before the manH376, that he may release unto you your otherH312 brotherH251 and BenjaminH1144. And if I be bereavedH7921 of my children, I am bereavedH7921. 15And the menH376 tookH3947 that present, and they tookH3947 doubleH4932 moneyH3701 in their handH3027, and BenjaminH1144; and roseH6965 up, and wentH3381 downH3381 to EgyptH4714, and stoodH5975 before JosephH3130.

16And when JosephH3130 sawH7200 BenjaminH1144 with them, he saidH559 to the steward of his houseH1004, BringH935 the menH376 into the houseH1004, and slay, and make ready; for the menH376 shall dine with me at noonH6672. 17And the manH376 did as JosephH3130 bade; and the manH376 broughtH935 the menH376 to Joseph’sH3130 houseH1004. 18And the menH376 were afraidH3372, because they were broughtH935 to Joseph’sH3130 houseH1004; and they saidH559, Because of the moneyH3701 that was returnedH7725 in our sacksH572 at the firstH8462 time are we broughtH935 in; that he may seek occasion against us, and fallH5307 upon us, and takeH3947 us for bondmen, and our asses. 19And they came near to the steward of Joseph’s houseH1004, and they spake unto him at the doorH6607 of the houseH1004, 20and saidH559, Oh, my lordH113, we cameH3381 indeed downH3381 at the firstH8462 time to buyH7666 foodH400: 21and it cameH935 to pass, when we cameH935 to the lodging-place, that we openedH6605 our sacksH572, and, behold, every man’sH376 moneyH3701 wasH1961 in the mouthH6310 of his sackH572, our moneyH3701 in full weightH4948: and we have broughtH935 it again in our handH3027. 22And otherH312 moneyH3701 have we broughtH3381 downH3381 in our handH3027 to buyH7666 foodH400: we knowH3045 not who putH7760 our moneyH3701 in our sacksH572. 23And he saidH559, PeaceH7965 be to you, fearH3372 not: your GodH430, and the GodH430 of your fatherH1, hath givenH5414 you treasure in your sacksH572: I had your moneyH3701. And he broughtH935 SimeonH8095 out unto them.
