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.
Sir / we came hither at the first tyme to bye foode / and as we came to an Inne and opened oure sackes: beholde / euery mannes money was in his sacke with full weghte: But we haue broght it agene with us / & other mony haue we brought also in oure handes / to bye foode / but we can not tell who put oure money in oure sackes.
And he said: be of good cheer / fear not: Your God and the God of your fathers hath put you that treasure in your sacks / for I had ⟨p. lxv⟩your money. And he brought Simeon out to them and led them into Josephs house / & gave them water to wash their feet / and gave their asses provender: And they made ready their present against Joseph came at none / for they heard say that they should dine there.
