We have brought additional money with us to buy food
This phrase reflects the brothers' sense of responsibility and integrity. The Hebrew root for "brought" (בּוֹא, bo) implies a deliberate action, indicating their intention to rectify any perceived wrongdoing. The "additional money" signifies their preparedness to make amends and ensure fairness in their dealings. Historically, this reflects the economic practices of the time, where trade and barter were common, and honesty in transactions was highly valued. The brothers' actions demonstrate a shift from their earlier deceitful behavior towards Joseph, showing growth in character and a desire to act justly.

We do not know who put our money in our sacks
This admission of ignorance highlights the brothers' confusion and fear. The Hebrew word for "know" (יָדַע, yada) suggests a deep, intimate understanding, which they lack in this situation. Their uncertainty about the money's origin reflects their anxiety and the mysterious nature of God's providence in their lives. Scripturally, this moment is pivotal as it sets the stage for Joseph's eventual revelation and reconciliation with his brothers. It underscores the theme of divine intervention and the unfolding of God's plan, even when human understanding is limited. The brothers' honesty in admitting their lack of knowledge also points to a growing humility and reliance on God's guidance.
