Genesis 42:25-35

25Joseph gave orders to fill their bags with grain. He put each man’s money back into his sack and gave them supplies for their trip. After their bags were filled,

26they loaded their grain on their donkeys and left.

27At the place where they stopped for the night, one of them opened his sack to feed his donkey. His money was right inside his sack.

28He said to his brothers, “My money has been put back! It’s right here in my sack!” They wanted to die. They trembled and turned to each other and asked, “What has God done to us?”

29When they came to their father Jacob in Canaan, they told him all that had happened to them. They said,

30“The governor of that land spoke harshly to us and treated us like spies.

31But we said to him, ‘We’re honest men, not spies.

32We were 12 brothers, sons of the same father. One is no longer with us. The youngest brother stayed with our father in Canaan.’

33“Then the governor of that land said to us, ‘This is how I’ll know that you’re honest men: Leave one of your brothers with me. Take food for your starving families and go.

34But bring me your youngest brother. Then I’ll know that you’re not spies but honest men. I’ll give your brother back to you, and you’ll be able to move about freely in this country.’ ”

35As they were emptying their sacks, each man found his bag of money in his sack. When they and their father saw the bags of money, they were frightened.
