And the one will open his sack to give food to his ass in the lodging place, and he will see his silver; for behold, it in the mouth of his sack. And he will say to his brethren, My silver restored; and also behold in my sack: and their heart will go forth and they will tremble, a man saying to his brother, What this God did to us? And they will come to Jacob their father, to the land of Canaan, and they will announce to him all having happened to them, saying, The man, the lord of the land, spake to us hard things, and he will give us for spying the land. And we shall say to him, We are true; we were not spying; We are twelve brethren, sons of our father: one is not, and the little one, he with our father in the land of Canaan. And the man, the lord of the land, will say to us, In this I shall know that ye are true; leave one of your brethren with me, and take for the famine of your houses and go. And bring your little brother to me, and I shall know that ye are not spying, but ye are true: I will give to you your brother and ye shall traffic in the land.
