Genesis 43:21

And it came to pass when we came to the inn
Upon the road, on the first day's journey, to refresh themselves and their cattle: that we opened our sacks;
to give provender to our cattle; by which it appears that they all did this, though it is only said of one of them at the inn, and of all of them when they came home, ( Genesis 42:27 Genesis 42:35 ) ; and, behold, [every] man's money [was] in the mouth of his sack, our
money in full weight;
nothing wanting of it; it being usual in those times to pay money by weight, and not by the tale of pieces: and we have brought it again in our hand;
in order to pay it for the corn we have had, having no design to defraud.
