22 And other money have we brought down in our hands to buy food: we cannot tell who put our money in our sacks.
22 We have also brought additional silver with us to buy food. We don't know who put our silver in our sacks."
22 and we have brought other money down with us to buy food. We do not know who put our money in our sacks."
22 and have plenty more to buy more food with. We have no idea who put the money in our bags."
22 And we have brought down other money in our hands to buy food. We do not know who put our money in our sacks."
22 We also have additional money to buy more food. We have no idea who put our money in our sacks."

Commentary on Genesis 43:15-25
(Read Genesis 43:15-25)
Jacob's sons went down the second time into Egypt to buy corn. If we should ever know what a famine of the word means, let us not think it much to travel as far for spiritual food, as they did for bodily food. Joseph's steward had orders from his master to take them to his house. Even this frightened them. Those that are guilty make the worst of every thing. But the steward encouraged them. It appears, from what he said, that by his good master he was brought to the knowledge of the true God, the God of the Hebrews. Religious servants should take all fit occasions to speak of God and his providence, with reverence and seriousness.
