Genesis 42:25-35
25Then JosephH3130 gave ordersH6680 to fill their bagsH3627 withH4390 grainH1250, to returnH7725 each man’sH376 silverH37011 toH413 his sackH8242, and to giveH5414 them provisionsH6720 for their journeyH1870. ThisH3651 order was carried outH6213, 26and they loadedH5375 the grainH7668 onH5921 their donkeysH2543 and departedH1980H8033.
27At the place where they lodged for the nightH4411, oneH259 of them openedH6605 his sackH8242 to getH5414 feedH4554 for his donkeyH2543, and he sawH7200 his silverH3701H2009H1931 in the mouthH6310 of the sackH572. 28“My silverH3701H1571 has been returnedH7725!” he saidH559 toH413 his brothersH251. “It is hereH2009 in my sackH572.”
Their heartsH3820 sankH3318, and tremblingH2729, they turned toH413 oneH376 anotherH251 and saidH559, “WhatH4100 is thisH2063 that GodH430 has doneH6213 to us?”
29When they reachedH935H413 their fatherH1 JacobH3290 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, they describedH5046 to himH853 allH3605 that had happened to themH7136: 30“The manH376 who is lordH113 of the landH776 spokeH1696 harshlyH7186H5414 to usH854 and accused us of spyingH7270 on the countryH776.
31But we toldH559 himH413, ‘WeH587 areH1961 honest menH3651, notH3808 spiesH7270. 32WeH587 are twelveH8147H6240 brothersH251, sonsH1121 of one fatherH1. OneH259 is no moreH369, and the youngestH6996 is nowH3117 withH854 our fatherH1 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667.’
33Then the manH376 who is lordH113 of the landH776 saidH559 to usH413, ‘This is howH2063 I will knowH3045 whetherH3588 youH859 are honestH3651: LeaveH5117 oneH259 brotherH251 with meH854, takeH3947 food to relieve the hungerH7459 of your householdsH1004, and goH1980. 34But bringH935 your youngestH6996 brotherH251 back to meH413 so I will knowH3045 thatH3588 youH859 are notH3808 spiesH7270 butH3588 honest menH3651H859. Then I will giveH5414 your brotherH251 back to you, and you can tradeH5503 in the landH776.’”
As theyH1992 began emptyingH7324 their sacksH8242, thereH2009 in each man’sH376 sackH8242 was his bagH6872 of silverH3701! And when theyH1992 and their fatherH1 sawH7200 the bagsH6872 of silverH3701, they were dismayedH3372.
