Genesis 43:17-22 Amplified Bible (AMP)

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.
