Genesis 42:33-35
Living Bible
33 Then the man told us, ‘This is the way I will find out if you are what you claim to be. Leave one of your brothers here with me and take grain for your families and go on home, 34 but bring your youngest brother back to me. Then I shall know whether you are spies or honest men; if you prove to be what you say, then I will give you back your brother and you can come as often as you like to purchase grain.’”
35 As they emptied out the sacks, there at the top of each was the money paid for the grain! Terror gripped them, as it did their father.

New International Version
33 “Then the man who is lord over the land said to us, ‘This is how I will know whether you are honest men: Leave one of your brothers here with me, and take food for your starving households and go.(A) 34 But bring your youngest brother to me so I will know that you are not spies but honest men.(B) Then I will give your brother back to you,(C) and you can trade[a] in the land.(D)’”
35 As they were emptying their sacks, there in each man’s sack was his pouch of silver!(E) When they and their father saw the money pouches, they were frightened.(F)
