28 Il dit à ses frères: Mon argent a été rendu, et le voici dans mon sac. Alors leur cœur fut en défaillance; et ils se dirent l’un à l’autre, en tremblant: Qu’est-ce que Dieu nous a fait?

29 Ils revinrent auprès de Jacob, leur père, dans le pays de Canaan, et ils lui racontèrent tout ce qui leur était arrivé. Ils dirent:

30 L’homme, qui est le seigneur du pays, nous a parlé durement, et il nous a pris pour des espions.

31 Nous lui avons dit: Nous sommes sincères, nous ne sommes pas des espions.

32 Nous sommes douze frères, fils de notre père; l’un n’est plus, et le plus jeune est aujourd’hui avec notre père au pays de Canaan.
