Genesis 43:16-25

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.” 19So they came near to Joseph’s house steward, and spoke to him at the entrance of the house, 20and said, “Oh, my lord, we indeed came down the first time to buy food, 21and it came about when we came to the lodging place, that we opened our sacks, and behold, 4each man’s money was in the mouth of his sack, our money in 5full. So 6we have brought it back in our hand. 22We have also brought down other money in our hand to buy food; we do not know who put our money in our sacks.” 23He said, “7Be at ease, do not be afraid. 8Your God and the God of your father has given you treasure in your sacks; 9I had your money.” Then 10he brought Simeon out to them. 24Then the man brought the men into Joseph’s house and 11gave them water, and they 12washed their feet; and he gave their donkeys fodder. 25So they prepared 13the present 14for Joseph’s coming at noon; for they had heard that they were to eat 15a meal there.
