Genesis 42:25-35

25Joseph then gave orders to fill their containers with grain, return each man’s silver to his sack, and give them provisions for their journey. This order was carried out.

26They loaded the grain on their donkeys and left there.

27At the place where they lodged for the night, one of them opened his sack to get feed for his donkey, and he saw his silver there at the top of his bag.

28He said to his brothers, “My silver has been returned! It’s here in my bag.” Their hearts sank. Trembling, they turned to one another and said, “What has God done to us?”

29When they reached their father Jacob in the land of Canaan, they told him all that had happened to them:

30“The man who is the lord of the country spoke harshly to us and accused us of spying on the country.

31But we told him, ‘We are honest and not spies.

32We were twelve brothers, sons of the same father. One is no longer living, and the youngest is now with our father in the land of Canaan.’

33The man who is the lord of the country said to us, ‘This is how I will know if you are honest: Leave one brother with me, take food to relieve the hunger of your households, and go.

34Bring back your youngest brother to me, and I will know that you are not spies but honest men. I will then give your brother back to you, and you can trade in the country.’”

35As they began emptying their sacks, there in each man’s sack was his bag of silver! When they and their father saw their bags of silver, they were afraid.
