Thus toke they the present and twice so much more money with them / and Ben Jamim. And rose up / went down to Egypt / and presented them self to Joseph. When Joseph saw BenJamin with them / he said to the ruler of his house: bring these men home / and slay and make ready: for they shall dine with me at none. And the man did as Joseph bad / and brought them in to Josephs house.

When they were brought to Josephs house / they were afraid and said: be cause of the money that came in our sacks mouths at the first time / are we brought / to pike a quarrel with us & to lay some thing to our charge: to bring us in bondage and our asses also. Therefore came they to the man that was the ruler over Josephs house / and communed with him at the door and said:
When they were brought to Josephs house / they were afrayde ād sayde: be cause of the money yt came in oure sackes mouthes at the first tyme / are we brought / to pyke a quarell with vs & to laye some thinge to oure charge: to brynge us in bondage and oure asses also. Therfore came they to the man that was the ruelar ouer Josephs house / and comened with him at the doore and sayde:
Sir / we came hither at the first time to bye food / and as we came to an Inn and opened our sacks: behold / every mans money was in his sack with full weight: But we have brought it again with us / & other money have we brought also in our hands / to bye food / but we can not tell who put our money in our sacks.
