Genesis 43:19-25

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.”

23“It’s alright,” he said. “Don’t be afraid! Your God, the God of your father, must have given you treasure in your sacks. I received your money.” Then he brought Simeon out to them.

24The man took the brothers into Joseph’s house. He gave them water to wash their feet and feed for their donkeys.

25They got their gifts ready for Joseph’s return at noon, because they had heard they were going to eat there.
