# Connecting Statement:

The brothers continue speaking to the steward of the house.

# It came about

This phrase is used here to mark an important event in the story. If your language has a way for doing this, you could consider using it here.

# when we reached the lodging place

"when we came to the place that we were going to stay for the night"

# behold

The word "behold" here shows that the brothers were surprised by what they saw.

# every man's money was in the opening of his sack, our money in full weight

"each one of us found the full amount of his money in his sack"

# We have brought it back in our hands

Here "hands" stands for the whole person. Alternate translation: "We have brought the money back with us" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-synecdoche]])
