16 As soon as Joseph noticed that Benjamin had come with them, he ordered his palace manager, |Bring the men into the palace. Slaughter an animal and prepare it, because these men will be dining with me for lunch.| 17 So the man did what Joseph had ordered, and brought the men to Joseph's palace. 18 The men were terrified as they were being taken to Joseph's palace. |It's because of that money that was returned to our sacks the first time we were brought to him,| they reasoned. |He's seeking an excuse to attack us, enslave us, and confiscate our donkeys!| 19 So they approached Joseph's palace manager and talked with him at the palace entrance.
