Then they speedily took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack.

Then they hasted, and took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack.

And they hasted and laid down every man his sack on the ground, and opened every man his sack.

and they hasten and take down each his bag to the earth, and each openeth his bag;

Then every man quickly got his bag down and undid it.

Then they hastened, and took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack.

And so, they quickly placed their sacks down to the ground, and each one was opened.

Et festinaverunt, et deposuerunt unusquisque saccum suum super terram: et aperuerunt singuli saccum suum.

Then they speedily took down every man his sack to the ground,.... To be opened and examined, and this they did in all haste, as having a clear conscience, and being confident that nothing could be found upon them, and desirous of having the affair issued as soon as possible, that the steward might have full satisfaction, and they proceed on in their journey:
and opened every man his sack; showing neither reluctance nor fear, being conscious of their innocence.

They then took down their sacks as quickly as possible; and he examined them, beginning with the eldest and finishing with the youngest; and the goblet was found in Benjamin's sack. With anguish and alarm at this new calamity they rent their clothes (vid., Genesis 37:34), loaded their asses again, and returned to the city. It would now be seen how they felt in their inmost hearts towards their father's favourite, who had been so distinguished by the great man of Egypt: whether now as formerly they were capable of giving up their brother, and bringing their aged father with sorrow to the grave; or whether they were ready, with unenvying, self-sacrificing love, to give up their own liberty and lives for him. And they stood this test.
