Genesis 43:22

22 We've also brought more money with us to buy food. We don't know who put our money in our sacks."

Genesis 43:22 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 43:22

And other money have we brought down in our hands to buy
food
Double money for a double quantity, or because the price of corn was now doubled; and their bringing this besides the other showed their honest and upright intentions: we cannot tell who put our money in our sacks;
we are quite ignorant of it, and can by no means account for it, and therefore hope no blame will be laid on us.

Genesis 43:22 In-Context

20 "Please, sir," they said. "We came down here the first time to buy food.

21 We opened our sacks at the place where we stopped for the night. Each of us found in our sacks the money we had paid. So we've brought it back with us.

22 We've also brought more money with us to buy food. We don't know who put our money in our sacks."

23 "It's all right," the manager said. "Don't be afraid. Your God, the God of your father, has given you riches in your sacks. I received your money." Then he brought Simeon out to them.

24 The manager took the men into Joseph's house. He gave them water to wash their feet. He provided feed for their donkeys.
