21. When we came to the place where we lodged for the night and opened our bags of grain, each one’s money was at the top of his bag! It was the full amount of our money, and we have brought it back with us.
22. We have brought additional money with us to buy food. We don’t know who put our money in the bags.”
23. Then the steward said, “May you be well. Don’t be afraid. Your God and the God of your father must have put treasure in your bags. I received your money.” Then he brought Simeon out to them.
24. The steward brought the men into Joseph’s house, gave them water to wash their feet, and got feed for their donkeys.
25. Since the men had heard that they were going to eat a meal there, they prepared their gift for Joseph’s arrival at noon.
26. When Joseph came home, they brought him the gift they had carried into the house, and they bowed to the ground before him.
27. He asked if they were well, and he said, “How is your elderly father that you told me about? Is he still alive? ”
28. They answered, “Your servant our father is well. He is still alive.” And they bowed down to honor him.
29. When he looked up and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother’s son, he asked, “Is this your youngest brother that you told me about? ” Then he said, “May God be gracious to you, my son.”
30. Joseph hurried out because he was overcome with emotion for his brother, and he was about to weep. He went into an inner room to weep.
