Genesis 43:20-26 English Standard Version (ESV)

20. and said, “Oh, my lord, we came down the first time to buy food.

21. And when we came to the lodging place we opened our sacks, and there was each man’s money in the mouth of his sack, our money in full weight. So we have brought it again with us,

22. and we have brought other money down with us to buy food. We do not know who put our money in our sacks.”

23. He replied, “Peace to you, do not be afraid. Your God and the God of your father has put treasure in your sacks for you. I received your money.” Then he brought Simeon out to them.

24. And when the man had brought the men into Joseph’s house and given them water, and they had washed their feet, and when he had given their donkeys fodder,

25. they prepared the present for Joseph’s coming at noon, for they heard that they should eat bread there.

26. When Joseph came home, they brought into the house to him the present that they had with them and bowed down to him to the ground.
