Genesis 42:25-35

25Then Joseph gave orders to fill their bags with grain, to return each man’s money to his sack, and to give them provisions for the journey. His orders were carried out.

26So they loaded their grain on their donkeys and left.

27When one of them opened his sack to get feed for his donkey at their resting place, he saw his money in the mouth of his sack.

28He said to his brothers, “My money was returned! Here it is in my sack!” They were dismayed; they turned trembling one to another and said, “What in the world has God done to us?”

29They returned to their father Jacob in the land of Canaan and told him all the things that had happened to them, saying,

30“The man, the lord of the land, spoke harshly to us and treated us as if we were spying on the land.

31But we said to him, ‘We are honest men; we are not spies!

32We are from a family of twelve brothers; we are the sons of one father. One is no longer alive, and the youngest is with our father at this time in the land of Canaan.’

33“Then the man, the lord of the land, said to us, ‘This is how I will find out if you are honest men. Leave one of your brothers with me, and take grain for your hungry households and go.

34But bring your youngest brother back to me so I will know that you are honest men and not spies. Then I will give your brother back to you and you may move about freely in the land.’”

35When they were emptying their sacks, there was each man’s bag of money in his sack! When they and their father saw the bags of money, they were afraid.
