Genesis 43:19-25

19So they approached Joseph’s steward and spoke to him at the doorway of the house.

20They said, “My lord, we really did come down here the first time only to buy food.

21When we came to the place where we lodged for the night and opened our bags of grain, each one’s silver was at the top of his bag! It was the full amount of our silver, and we have brought it back with us.

22We have brought additional silver with us to buy food. We don’t know who put our silver in the bags.”

23Then the steward said, “May you be well. Don’t be afraid. Your God and the God of your father must have put treasure in your bags. I received your silver.” Then he brought Simeon out to them.

24The steward brought the men into Joseph’s house, gave them water to wash their feet, and got feed for their donkeys.

25Since the men had heard that they were going to eat a meal there, they prepared their gift for Joseph’s arrival at noon.
