Commentary on Genesis John Calvin
JOHN CALVIN
17. And the man did as Joseph bade; and the man brought the men into Joseph's house.
17. Et fecit vir, quemadmodum dixit Joseph: et venire fecit vir homines in domum Joseph.
18. And the men were afraid, because they were brought into Joseph's house; and they said, Because of the money that was returned in our sacks at the first time are we brought in; that he may seek occasion against us, and fall upon us, and take us for bondmen, and our asses.
18. Et timuerunt viri, quod adducti essent in donrum Joseph, et dixerunt, Propter pecuniam, quae reddita est in saccis nostris in principio, sumus adducti, ut volvat se contra nos, et jactet se super nos, et capiat nos in servos, et asinos nostros.
19. And they came near to the steward of Joseph's house, and they communed with him at the door of the house,
19. Et accesserunt ad virum, qui erat super domum Joseph, et loquuti sunt ad eum in ostio domus:
20. And said, O sir, we came indeed down at the first time to buy food:
20. Et dixerunt, Quaesumus, domine mi: descendendo descendimus in principio ad emendum escam.
21. And it came to pass, when we came to the inn, that we opened our sacks, and, behold, every man's money was in the mouth of his sack, our money in full weight: and we have brought it again in our hand.
21. Et fuit quum venissemus ad hospitium, et aperuissemus saccos nostros, ecce, pecunia uniuseujusque erat in ore sacci sui: pecunia nostra secundum pondus suum: et retulimus eam in manu nostra.
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. Et pecuniam aliam detulimus in manu nostra ad emendum escam: nescimus, quis posuerit pecuniam nostram in saccis nostris.
