Genesis 42:27

The Brothers Return to Canaan

25 Then Joseph ^agave a command to fill their sacks with grain, to ^brestore every man’s money to his sack, and to give them provisions for the journey. ^cThus he did for them.

26 So they loaded their donkeys with the grain and departed from there.

27 But as ^aone of them opened his sack to give his donkey feed at the encampment, he saw his money; and there it was, in the mouth of his sack.

28 So he said to his brothers, “My money has been restored, and there it is, in my sack!” Then their hearts¹ failed them and they were afraid, saying to one another, “What is this that God has done to us?”

29 Then they went to Jacob their father in the land of Canaan and told him all that had happened to them, saying:

30 “The man who is lord of the land ^aspoke roughly to us, and took us for spies of the country.
