Genesis 43:15-22
15The men took the gifts, twice as much money, and Benjamin. They went to Egypt, where they presented themselves to Joseph.
16When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the man in charge of his house, “Take these men to my house. Butcher an animal, and prepare a meal, because they are going to eat with me at noon.”
17So the man did as Joseph said and took them to Joseph’s house.
18The men were frightened, because they had been brought to Joseph’s house. They thought, “We’ve been brought here because of the money that was put back into our sacks the first time. They’re going to attack us, overpower us, take our donkeys, and make us slaves.”
19So they came to the man in charge of Joseph’s house and spoke to him at the door.
20“Please, sir,” they said, “we came here to buy food once before.
21When we stopped for the night, we opened our sacks, and each man found all of his money inside. So we brought it back with us.
22We also brought more money to buy food. We have no idea who put our money back in our sacks.”
