Genesis 43:16-18

Easy-to-Read Version

The Brothers at Joseph’s House

¹⁶ When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to his servant, “Bring these men into my house. Kill an animal and cook it. They will eat with me at noon today.” ¹⁷ The servant did as he was told. He brought the men into Joseph’s house.

¹⁸ The brothers were afraid when they were taken to Joseph’s house and said, “We have been brought here because of the money that was put back in our sacks the last time. They will use this as proof against us and steal our donkeys and make us slaves.”
