Genesis 43:19-25

19So they approached the man who was over Joseph’s house and spoke to him at the entrance of the house.

20“I beg your pardon, my lord!” they said. “We indeed came down on the previous occasion to buy grain for food.

21When we came to the lodge and opened our sacks, behold, there was each man’s money at the opening of the sack, the full amount of our money. So we’ve returned it in our hand.

22Moreover, we’ve brought down other money in our hand to buy grain for food. We didn’t know who put our money into our sacks.”

23“Be at peace,” he replied. “Don’t be afraid. Your God and the God of your father has given you treasure in your sacks. Your money had come to me.” Then he brought Simeon out to them,

24and the man brought the men into Joseph’s house, gave them water and they washed their feet. He also provided fodder for their donkeys.

25So they prepared the offering for Joseph’s coming at noon, for they had heard that they were going to eat there.
