Genesis 43:15-22

15So the men packed Jacob’s gifts and double the money and headed off with Benjamin. They finally arrived in Egypt and presented themselves to Joseph.

16When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the manager of his household, “These men will eat with me this noon. Take them inside the palace. Then go slaughter an animal, and prepare a big feast.”

17So the man did as Joseph told him and took them into Joseph’s palace.

18The brothers were terrified when they saw that they were being taken into Joseph’s house. “It’s because of the money someone put in our sacks last time we were here,” they said. “He plans to pretend that we stole it. Then he will seize us, make us slaves, and take our donkeys.”

19The brothers approached the manager of Joseph’s household and spoke to him at the entrance to the palace.

20“Sir,” they said, “we came to Egypt once before to buy food.

21But as we were returning home, we stopped for the night and opened our sacks. Then we discovered that each man’s money—the exact amount paid—was in the top of his sack! Here it is; we have brought it back with us.

22We also have additional money to buy more food. We have no idea who put our money in our sacks.”
