²⁵ Joseph gave orders to fill their bags with grain,^(A) to put each man’s silver back in his sack,^(B) and to give them provisions^(C) for their journey.^(D) After this was done for them, ²⁶ they loaded their grain on their donkeys^(E) and left.

²⁷ At the place where they stopped for the night one of them opened his sack to get feed for his donkey,^(F) and he saw his silver in the mouth of his sack.^{(G) 28} “My silver has been returned,” he said to his brothers. “Here it is in my sack.”

Their hearts sank^(H) and they turned to each other trembling^(I) and said, “What is this that God has done to us?”^(J)

¹⁹ So they went up to Joseph’s steward^(A) and spoke to him at the entrance to the house. ²⁰ “We beg your pardon, our lord,” they said, “we came down here the first time to buy food.^{(B) 21} But at the place where we stopped for the night we opened our sacks and each of us found his silver—the exact weight—in the mouth of his sack. So we have brought it back with us.^{(C) 22} We have also brought additional silver with us to buy food. We don’t know who put our silver in our sacks.”

²³ “It’s all right,” he said. “Don’t be afraid. Your God, the God of your father,^(D) has given you treasure in your sacks;^(E) I received your silver.” Then he brought Simeon out to them.^(F)
