Genesis 43

¹⁸ But the brothers were frightened that they had been taken to Joseph’s house. “We have been brought here because of the silver that was returned in our bags the first time,” they said. “They intend to overpower us and take us as slaves, along with our donkeys.”

¹⁹ So they approached Joseph’s steward and spoke to him at the entrance to the house.

²⁰ “Please, sir,” they said, “we really did come down here the first time to buy food.

²¹ But when we came to the place we lodged for the night, we opened our sacks and, behold, each of us found his silver in the mouth of his sack! It was the full amount of our silver, and we have brought it back with us.

²² We have brought additional silver with us to buy food. We do not know who put our silver in our sacks.”
