17. The man did as Joseph told him and brought the men to Joseph’s house.
18. When they were brought to Joseph’s house, the men were frightened and said, "We’ve been brought here because of the silver put back in our sacks on our first trip so he can overpower us, capture us, make slaves of us, and take our donkeys."
19. They approached the man who was Joseph’s household manager and spoke to him at the house’s entrance:
20. "Please, Master, we came down the first time just to buy food,
21. but when we stopped to spend the night and opened our sacks, there was the exact amount of each man’s silver at the top of his sack. We’ve brought it back with us,
22. and we’ve brought down with us additional silver to buy food. We don’t know who put our silver in our sacks."
23. He said, "You are fine. Don’t be afraid. Your God and your father’s God must have hidden a treasure in your sacks. I received your money." Then he brought Simeon out to them.
