Genesis 43:20-22
New English Translation
20 They said, “My lord, we did indeed come down[a] the first time[b] to buy food. 21 But when we came to the place where we spent the night, we opened our sacks and each of us found his money—the full amount[c]—in the mouth of his sack. So we have returned it.[d] 22 We have brought additional money with us to buy food. We do not know who put the money in our sacks!”
