18. And the men were afraid when they were brought into the house of Joseph. And they said “We were brought here on account of the money that was returned to our sacks the first time, that he might attack us and fall upon us to take us as slaves with our donkeys.”
19. So they approached the man who was over Joseph’s house and spoke to him at the doorway of the house.
20. And they said, “Please, my lord, we surely came down once before to buy food,
21. but when we came to the place of lodging and we opened our sacks, then behold, each one’s money was in the mouth of his sack—our money in its full weight—so we have returned with it in our hands.
22. Now, other money we have brought down in our hand to buy food. We do not know who put our money in our sacks.”
23. And he said, “Peace to you; do not be afraid. Your God and the God of your father must have given you a treasure in your sacks; your money came to me.” And he brought Simeon out to them.
24. Then the man brought the men into Joseph’s house and he gave them water and washed their feet, and gave fodder to their donkeys.
