Genesis 43:12-23

12And take other money in your hand, and the money that was returned to you in the mouth of your sacks, carry back in your hand: perhaps it is an oversight.

13And take your brother, and arise, go again to the man.

14And the Almighty 1God give you mercy before the man, that he may send away your other brother and Benjamin! And I, if I be bereaved of children, am bereaved.

15And the men took that gift, and took double money in their hand, and Benjamin, and rose up, and went down to Egypt, and came before Joseph.

16And Joseph saw Benjamin with them, and said to the [man] who was over his house, Bring the men into the house, and slaughter cattle, and make ready; for the men shall eat with me at noon.

17And the man did as Joseph had said; and the man brought the men into Joseph's house.

18And the men were afraid because they were brought into Joseph's house, and said, Because of the money that was returned to us in our sacks at the beginning are we brought in, that he may turn against us, and fall upon us and take us for bondmen, and our asses.

19And they came up to the man that was over Joseph's house, and they spoke to him at the door of the house,

20and said, Ah! my lord, we came indeed down at the first to buy food.

21And it came to pass when we came to the inn, that we opened our sacks, and behold, [every] man's money was in the mouth of his sack, our money according to its weight; and we have brought it again in our hand.

22And other money have we brought down in our hand to buy food. We do not know who put our money in our sacks.

23And he said, Peace be to you, fear not: your 2God, and the 3God of your father, has given you treasure in your sacks; your money came to me. And he brought Simeon out to them.
