Bible Pictures 0053-1 Joseph's Brothers Found the Money

Joseph's Brothers Found the Money. Caption: "Joseph's brothers have been to the land of Egypt to buy corn, because there is no corn for them to eat in the land of Canaan where they live. There is a famine in the land of Canaan, and the corn will not grow there. But there is plenty of corn in the land of Egypt where Joseph lives. So they took their asses and started to go to that land to buy some. And they saw Joseph in Egypt and bought corn of him, but it had been so long since they had seen him before, and now he was so rich and great, that they did not know him or think it was their brother. But Joseph knew them, though he did not tell them so. And when they paid their money for the corn he told his servants to put it back in their bags. And when Joseph's brothers stopped and opened their bags to feed their asses, they found the money. You see how surprised they look, for they cannot understand it."
