Genesis 43:21

Joseph’s Hospitality to His Brothers

20“Please, sir,” they said, “we really did come down here the first time to buy food.21But when we came to the place we lodged for the night, we opened our sacks and, behold, each of us found his silver in the mouth of his sack! It was the full amount of our silver, and we have brought it back with us.22We have brought additional silver with us to buy food. We do not know who put our silver in our sacks.”
