Genesis 42:25-35
25Then JosephH3130 commandedH6680 to fillH4390 their sacksH3627 with foodH1250, and to restoreH7725 every man’sH376 moneyH3701 into his sackH8242, and to giveH5414 them provisionH6720 for the wayH1870: and thusH3651 did heH6213 unto them. 26And they ladedH5375 their donkeysH2543 with the foodH7668, and departedH3212 thence. 27And as oneH259 of them openedH6605 his sackH8242 to giveH5414 his donkeyH2543 provenderH4554 in the innH4411, he espiedH7200 his moneyH3701; for, behold, it was in his sack’sH572 mouthH6310. 28And he saidH559 unto his brethrenH251, My moneyH3701 is restoredH7725; and, loH2009, it is even in my sackH572: and their heartH3820 failedH3318 them, and they were afraidH2729, sayingH559 oneH376 to anotherH251, What is this that GodH430 hath doneH6213 unto us?1
29And they cameH935 unto JacobH3290 their fatherH1 unto the landH776 of CanaanH3667, and toldH5046 him all that befellH7136 unto them; sayingH559, 30The manH376, who is the lordH113 of the landH776, spakeH1696 roughlyH7186 to us, and tookH5414 us for spiesH7270 of the countryH776.2 31And we saidH559 unto him, We are trueH3651 men; we are no spiesH7270: 32We be twelveH8147H6240 brethrenH251, sonsH1121 of our fatherH1; oneH259 is not, and the youngestH6996 is this dayH3117 with our fatherH1 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667. 33And the manH376, the lordH113 of the countryH776, saidH559 unto us, Hereby shall I knowH3045 that ye are trueH3651 men; leaveH3240 oneH259 of your brethrenH251 here with me, and takeH3947 food for the famineH7459 of your householdsH1004, and be goneH3212: 34And bringH935 your youngestH6996 brotherH251 unto me: then shall I knowH3045 that ye are no spiesH7270, but that ye are trueH3651 men: so will I deliverH5414 you your brotherH251, and ye shall traffickH5503 in the landH776.
35And it came to pass as they emptiedH7324 their sacksH8242, that, behold, every man’sH376 bundleH6872 of moneyH3701 was in his sackH8242: and when both they and their fatherH1 sawH7200 the bundlesH6872 of moneyH3701, they were afraidH3372.
