12. And take double the [grain] money with you; and the money that was put back in the mouth of your sacks, carry it again with you; there is a possibility that [its being in your sacks] was an oversight.
13. Take your brother and arise and return to the man;
14. May God Almighty give you mercy and favor before the man, that he may release to you your other brother and Benjamin. If I am bereaved [of my sons], I am bereaved.
15. Then the men took the present, and they took double the [grain] money with them, and Benjamin; and they arose and went down to Egypt and stood before Joseph.
16. And when Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the steward of his house, Bring the men into the house and kill an animal and make ready, for the men will dine with me at noon.
17. And the man did as Joseph ordered and brought the men to Joseph's house.
18. The men were afraid because they were brought to Joseph's house; and they said, We are brought in because of the money that was returned in our sacks the first time we came, so that he may find occasion to accuse and assail us, take us for slaves, and seize our donkeys.
19. So they came near to the steward of Joseph's house and talked with him at the door of the house,
20. And said, O sir, we came down truly the first time to buy food;
21. And when we came to the inn, we opened our sacks and there was each man's money, full weight, returned in the mouth of his sack. Now we have brought it back again.
22. And we have brought down with us other money to buy food; we do not know who put our money in our sacks.
23. But [the steward] said, Peace be to you, fear not; your God and the God of your father has given you treasure in your sacks. I received your money. And he brought Simeon out to them.
24. And the man brought the men into Joseph's house and gave them water, and they washed their feet; and he gave their donkeys provender.
25. And they made ready the present they had brought for Joseph before his coming at noon, for they heard that they were to dine there.
26. And when Joseph came home, they brought into the house to him the present which they had with them, and bowed themselves to him to the ground.
27. He asked them of their welfare and said, Is your old father well, of whom you spoke? Is he still alive?
28. And they answered, Your servant our father is in good health; he is still alive. And they bowed down their heads and made obeisance.
