26. Then, having loaded their donkeys with the grain, they set out.
27. And one of them, opening a sack to give his beast of burden fodder at the inn, looked upon the money at the sack's mouth,
28. and he said to his brothers: "My money has returned to me. See, it is held in the sack." And they were astonished and troubled, and they said to one another, "What is this that God has done to us?"
29. And they went to their father Jacob in the land of Canaan, and they explained to him all the things that had befallen them, saying:
30. "The lord of the land spoke harshly to us, and he considered us to be scouts of the province.
31. And we answered him: 'We are peaceful, and we do not intend any treachery.
32. We are twelve brothers conceived of one father. One is not living; the youngest is with our father in the land of Canaan.'
33. And he said to us: 'Thus will I prove that you are peaceful. Release one of your brothers to me, and take necessary provisions for your houses, and go away,
34. and bring your youngest brother to me, so that I may know that you are not scouts. And this one, who is held in chains, you may be able to receive again. And thereafter, you shall have permission to buy what you want.' "
35. Having said this, when they poured out their grain, each found his money tied to the mouth of his sack. And all were terrified together.
