43:15¶ And the men took that present, and they took double money in their hand, and Benjamin; and rose up, and went down to Egypt, and stood before Joseph.

43:16And when Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the ruler of his house, Bring these men home, and slay, and make ready; for these men shall dine with me at noon.

43:17And the man did as Joseph bade; and the man brought the men into Joseph’s house.

43:18And the men were afraid, because they were brought into Joseph’s house; and they said, Because of the money that was returned in our sacks at the first time are we brought in; that he may seek occasion against us, and fall upon us, and take us for bondmen, and our asses.

43:19And they came near to the steward of Joseph’s house, and they communed with him at the door of the house,

43:20And said, O sir, we came indeed down at the first time to buy food:

43:21And 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 in full weight: and we have brought it again in our hand.

43:22And other money have we brought down in our hands to buy food: we cannot tell who put our money in our sacks.
