Genesis 43:19-25

19When they drew near to the steward of Joseph’s house, they talked with him at the door of the house,

20and said, “O sir, we indeed came down the first time to buy food;

21but it happened, when we came to the encampment, that we opened our sacks, and there, each man’s money was in the mouth of his sack, our money in full weight; so we have brought it back in our hand.

22And we have brought down other money in our hands to buy food. We do not know who put our money in our sacks.”

23But he said, “Peace be with you, do not be afraid. Your God and the God of your father has given you treasure in your sacks; I had your money.” Then he brought Simeon out to them.

24So the man brought the men into Joseph’s house and gave them water, and they washed their feet; and he gave their donkeys feed.

25Then they made the present ready for Joseph’s coming at noon, for they heard that they would eat bread there.
