When they open their sacks and find the money returned, both they and Jacob are afraid. Jacob is deeply troubled, thinking that all these events are working against him. This shows how people sometimes misunderstand God’s ways, thinking things are bad when God is actually working for their good. v. 29-34 : The brothers tell Jacob about their trouble in Egypt. They explain the governor spoke harshly to them, accused them of being spies, and demanded that they leave one brother behind and bring Benjamin to prove their honesty ( v. 29-34 ).
