And when they opened their baggage, they found their merchandise returned to them. They said, "O our father, what could we desire? This is our merchandise returned to us. And we will obtain supplies for our family and protect our brother and obtain an increase of a camel's load; that is an easy measurement."
Thereupon, when they opened their packs, they discovered that their merchandise had been returned to them; they said: "O our father! What more could we desire? Here is our merchandise: it has been returned to us! we shall (again be able to bring food for our family, and shall guard our brother , and receive in addition another camel-load of grain That was but a scanty measure.

That additional supply will be easily secured."

We will take good care of our baby brother and obtain an extra camel-load of food (on his account.) What a great deal."

This, our money has been returned to us; so we shall get (more) food for our family, and we shall guard our brother and add one more measure of a camel’s load.

And (if Benjamin accompanies us we will make the best use of it,) we will bring food for our family and we will take care of our brother, and we shall have the measure of a camel-load in addition. That measure of corn (we have already brought) is a light one (and so little and insufficient).
And when they opened their baggage, they found their money restored to them. They said, ‘Father, what do we want?! This is our money, restored to us! We will get provisions for our family and take care of our brother, and add another camel-load of rations. These are meagre rations.’
