18The men were afraid, because they were brought to 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 on us, and take us for bondservants, along with our donkeys."
19They came near to the steward of Joseph`s house, and they spoke to him at the door of the house,
20and said, "Oh, my lord, we came indeed down at the first time to buy food:
21and it happened, when we came to the lodging-place, that we opened our sacks, and, behold, every man`s money was in the mouth of his sack, our money in full weight. We have brought it again in our hand.
22Other money have we brought down in our hand to buy food. We don`t know who put our money in our sacks."
23He said, "Peace be to you. Don`t be afraid. Your God, and the God of your father, has given you treasure in your sacks. I received your money." He brought Simeon out to them.
24The man brought the men into Joseph`s house, and gave them water, and they washed their feet. He gave their donkeys provender.
