Genesis 43 💬 📚 📜 📕 ↷
15 The men therefore took the presents, & the double money, & Benjamin; & went down into AEgypt, & stood before Joseph.
Joseph's Hospitality to His Brothers
16 Whom when he had seen & Benjamin withal, he commanded the steward of his house, saying: Bring in the men into the house, and kill victims, and prepare a feast; because they shall eat with me at noon.
17 He did that which was commanded him, and brought the men into the house.
18 And there being sore afraid, they said one to another: because of the money which we carried back the first time in our sacks, we are brought in: that he may turn upon us a false accusation, and forcibly bring both us and our asses into bondage.
19 Wherefore in the very door stepping to the steward of the house,
20 They spake: Sir, we desire thee to hear us. Now once before we came down to buy provision:
21 Which being bought, when we were come to the Inn, we opened our sacks, and found our money in the mouths of the sacks: which we have now brought again in the same weight.
22 But we have brought other money besides, to buy the things that are necessary for us: our conscience is not privy, who put it in our bags.
