19. And they came up to the man that was over Joseph's house, and they spoke to him at the door of the house,
20. and said, Ah! my lord, we came indeed down at the first to buy food.
21. And it came to pass when we came to the inn, that we opened our sacks, and behold, every man's money was in the mouth of his sack, our money according to its weight; and we have brought it again in our hand.
22. And other money have we brought down in our hand to buy food. We do not know who put our money in our sacks.
23. And he said, Peace be to you, fear not: your God and the God of your father, has given you treasure in your sacks; your money came to me. And he brought Simeon out to them.
24. And the man brought the men into Joseph's house, and gave water, and they washed their feet; and he gave their asses food.
25. And they made ready the gift for Joseph's coming at noon; for they had heard that they should eat bread there.
26. When Joseph came home, they brought him the gift that was in their hand, into the house, and bowed themselves to him to the earth.
27. And he asked them of their welfare, and said, Is your father well--the old man of whom ye spoke? Is he yet alive?
28. And they said, Thy servant our father is well; he is yet alive. And they bowed, and made obeisance.
