Genesis 43:22-28 Common English Bible (CEB)

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.

24. The manager brought the men into Joseph’s house and gave them water to wash their feet and feed for their donkeys.

25. They prepared the gift, anticipating Joseph’s arrival at noon, since they had heard that they would have a meal there.

26. When Joseph came into the house, they presented him the gift they had brought with them into the house, and they bowed low in front of him.

27. He asked them how they were and said, "How is your elderly father, about whom you spoke? Is he still alive?"

28. They said, "Your servant our father is fine. He’s still alive." And they bowed down again with deep respect.
