Genesis 43:16-18

16When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to his 1house steward, “Bring the men into the house, and slay an animal and make ready; for the men are to dine with me at noon.”

17So the man did as Joseph said, and 2brought the men to Joseph’s house.

18Now the men were afraid, because they were brought to Joseph’s house; and they said, “It is because of the money that was returned in our sacks the first time that we are being brought in, that he may 3seek occasion against us and fall upon us, and take us for slaves with our donkeys.”
