18. And they being much afraid, said there one to another: Because of the money, which we carried back the first time in our sacks, we are brought in: that he may bring upon us a false accusation, and by violence make slaves of us and our asses.
19. Wherefore going up to the steward of the house, at the door,
20. They said: Sir, we desire thee to hear us: We came down once before to buy food:
21. And when we had bought, and come to the inn, we opened our sacks, and found our money in the mouths of the sacks: which we have now brought again in the same weight.
22. And we have brought other money besides, to buy what we want: we cannot tell who put it in our bags.
23. But he answered: Peace be with you, fear not: your God, and the God of your Father hath given you treasure in your sacks. For the money, which you gave me, I have for good. And he brought Simeon out to them.
24. And having brought them into the house, he fetched water, and they washed their feet, and he gave provender to their asses.
25. But they made ready the presents, against Joseph came at noon: for they had heard that they should eat bread there.
26. Then Joseph came into his house, and they offered him the presents holding them in their hands, and they bowed down with their face to the ground.
27. But he, courteously saluting them again, asked them, saying: Is the old man your father in health, of whom uou told me? Is he yet living?
28. And they answered: Thy servant our father is in health, he is yet living. And bowing themselves they made obeisance to him.
29. And Joseph lifting up his eyes, saw Benjamin his brother, by the same mother, and said: Is this your young brother, of whom you told me? And he said: God be gracious to thee, my son.
30. And he made haste becouse his heart was moved upon his brother, and tears gushed out: And going into his chamber he wept.
31. And when he had washed his face, coming out again, he refrained himself, and said: Set bread on the table.
32. And when it was set on, for Joseph apart, and for his brethren apart, for the Egyptians also that ate with him, apart, (for it is unlawful for the Egyptians to eat with the Hebrews, and they think such a feast profane:)
33. They sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the youngest according to his age. And they wondered very much:
34. Taking the messes which they received of him: and the greater mess came to Benjamin, so that it exceeded by five parts. And they drank, and were merry with him.
