19. So they went up to Joseph's manager. They spoke to him at the entrance to the house.
20. "Please, sir," they said. "We came down here the first time to buy food.
21. We opened our sacks at the place where we stopped for the night. Each of us found in our sacks the money we had paid. So we've brought it back with us.
22. We've also brought more money with us to buy food. We don't know who put our money in our sacks."
23. "It's all right," the manager said. "Don't be afraid. Your God, the God of your father, has given you riches in your sacks. I received your money." Then he brought Simeon out to them.
24. The manager took the men into Joseph's house. He gave them water to wash their feet. He provided feed for their donkeys.
25. They prepared their gifts for Joseph. He was planning to arrive at noon. They had heard that they were going to eat there.
26. When Joseph came home, they gave him the gifts they had brought into the house. They bowed down to the ground in front of him.
