Genesis 43:19-25 Common English Bible (CEB)

19. They approached the man who was Joseph’s household manager and spoke to him at the house’s entrance:

20. "Please, Master, we came down the first time just to buy food,

21. but when we stopped to spend the night and opened our sacks, there was the exact amount of each man’s silver at the top of his sack. We’ve brought it back with us,

22. and we’ve brought down with us additional silver to buy food. We don’t know who put our silver in our sacks."

23. He said, "You are fine. Don’t be afraid. Your God and your father’s God must have hidden a treasure in your sacks. I received your money." Then he brought Simeon out to them.

24. The manager brought the men into Joseph’s house and gave them water to wash their feet and feed for their donkeys.

25. They prepared the gift, anticipating Joseph’s arrival at noon, since they had heard that they would have a meal there.
