Joseph Sees Benjamin

¹⁶ Then Joseph saw Benjamin with them and said to his ^(A)house steward, “Bring the men into the house, and slay an animal and prepare it; for the men are to eat with me at noon.” ¹⁷ So the man did as Joseph said and ^[a]brought the men to Joseph’s house. ¹⁸ And the men were afraid because they were brought to Joseph’s house; and they said, “It is because of the money that was returned in our sacks the first time that we are being brought in, that he may ^[b]seek occasion against us and fall upon us and take us for slaves with our donkeys.”
