25 Then Joseph gave orders to fill their bags with grain and to restore every man's money in his sack , and to give them provisions for the journey . And thus it was done for them. 26 So they loaded their donkeys with their grain and departed from there . 27 As one of them opened his sack to give his donkey fodder at the lodging place , he saw his money ; and behold , it was in the mouth of his sack . 28 Then he said to his brothers , "My money has been returned , and behold , it is even in my sack ." And their hearts sank , and they turned trembling to one another , saying , " What is this that God has done to us?"

Commentary on Genesis 42:25-28
(Read Genesis 42:25-28)
The brethren came for corn, and corn they had: not only so, but every man had his money given back. Thus Christ, like Joseph, gives out supplies without money and without price. The poorest are invited to buy. But guilty consciences are apt to take good providences in a bad sense; to put wrong meanings even upon things that make for them.
