Genesis 42:25-35

251Then JosephH3130 gaveH6680 ordersH6680 to fillH4390 their bagsH3627 with grainH1250 and to restoreH7725 everyH376 man’sH376 moneyH3701 in his sackH8242, and to giveH5414 them provisionsH6720 for the journeyH1870. And thusH3651 it was doneH6213 for them.

26So they loadedH5375 their donkeysH2543 with their grainH7668 and departedH1980 from thereH8033. 27As oneH259 of them openedH6605 his sackH8242 to giveH5414 his donkeyH2543 fodderH4554 at the lodgingH4411 placeH4411, he sawH7200 his 2moneyH3701; and beholdH2009, it was in the mouthH6310 of his sackH572. 28Then he saidH559 to his brothersH251, “My moneyH3701 has been returnedH7725, and beholdH2009, it is evenH1571 in my sackH572.” And their heartsH3820 3sankH3318, and they turned 4tremblingH2729 to oneH376 anotherH251, sayingH559, “5WhatH4100 is thisH2088 that GodH430 has doneH6213 to us?”

29When they cameH935 to their fatherH1 JacobH3290 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, they toldH5046 him allH3605 that had happenedH7136 to them, sayingH559, 30“The manH376, the lordH113 of the landH776, 6spokeH1696 harshlyH7186 with us, and tookH5414 us for spiesH7270 of the countryH776. 31But we saidH559 to him, ‘We are 7honestH3653 menH3653; we are not spiesH7270. 32We are twelveH8147H6240 brothersH251, sonsH1121 of our fatherH1; oneH259 is noH369 longerH369 alive, and the youngestH6996 is with our fatherH1 todayH3117 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667.’ 33The manH376, the lordH113 of the landH776, saidH559 to us, ‘8By thisH2088 I will knowH3045 that you are honestH3653 menH3653: leaveH5117 oneH259 of your brothersH251 with me and takeH3947 grain for the famineH7459 of your householdsH1004, and goH1980. 34But bringH935 your youngestH6996 brotherH251 to me that I may knowH3045 that you are not spiesH7270, but 9honestH3653 menH3653. I will giveH5414 your brotherH251 to you, and you may 10tradeH5503 in the landH776.’”

35Now it cameH1961 about as they were emptyingH7385 their sacksH8242, that beholdH2009, 11everyH376 man’sH376 bundleH6872 of moneyH3701 was in his sackH8242; and when they and their fatherH1 sawH7200 their bundlesH6872 of moneyH3701, they were dismayedH3372.
