16 When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the servant who was over his household, |Bring the men to the house. Slaughter an animal and prepare it, for the men will eat with me at noon.| 17 The man did just as Joseph said; he brought the men into Joseph's house. 18 But the men were afraid when they were brought to Joseph's house. They said, |We are being brought in because of the money that was returned in our sacks last time. He wants to capture us, make us slaves, and take our donkeys!| 19 So they approached the man who was in charge of Joseph's household and spoke to him at the entrance to the house.
