Genesis 43:16-25

16When JosephH3130 sawH7200 BenjaminH1144 with them, he saidH559 to his 1houseH1004 stewardH834H5921, “BringH935 the menH376 into the houseH1004, and slaughterH2873 an animalH2874 and makeH3559 preparationsH3559; for the menH376 are to dineH398 with me at noonH6672.” 17So the manH376 didH6213 as JosephH3130 saidH559, and 2broughtH935 the menH376 to Joseph’sH3130 houseH1004. 18Now the menH376 wereH3372 afraidH3372, becauseH3588 they were broughtH935 to Joseph’sH3130 houseH1004; and they saidH559, “It is becauseH5921H1697 of the moneyH3701 that was returnedH7725 in our sacksH572 the firstH8462 timeH8462 that we are being broughtH935 inH935, so that he may 3attackH1556 us and 4overpowerH5307 us, and takeH3947 us as slavesH5650 with our donkeysH2543.” 19So they approachedH5066 Joseph’sH3130 houseH1004 stewardH376H834H5921, and spokeH1696 to him at the entranceH6607 of the houseH1004, 20and saidH559, “OhH994, my lordH113, we indeedH3381 cameH3381 downH3381 the firstH8462 timeH8462 to buyH7666 foodH400, 21and it happenedH1961 whenH3588 we cameH935 to the campsiteH4411, that we openedH6605 our sacksH572, and beholdH2009, 5eachH376 man’sH376 moneyH3701 was in the openingH6310 of his sackH572, our moneyH3701 in 6fullH4948. So 7we have broughtH7725 it backH7725 in our handH3027. 22We have also broughtH3381 downH3381 otherH312 moneyH3701 in our handH3027 to buyH7666 foodH400; we do not knowH3045 whoH4310 putH7760 our moneyH3701 in our sacksH572.” 23But he saidH559, “PeaceH7965 be to you, do not beH3372 afraidH3372. 8Your GodH430 and the GodH430 of your fatherH1 has givenH5414 you treasureH4301 in your sacksH572; your 9moneyH3701 was in my possessionH935.” Then 10he broughtH3318 SimeonH8095 outH3318 to them. 24Then the manH376 broughtH935 the menH376 into Joseph’sH3130 houseH1004 and 11gaveH5414 them waterH4325, and they 12washedH7364 their feetH7272; and he gaveH5414 their donkeysH2543 feedH4554. 25So they preparedH3559 13the giftH4503 14for Joseph’sH3130 arrivalH935 at noonH6672; for they had heardH8085 that they were to eatH398 15a mealH3899 thereH8033.
