“And as one of them opened his sack to give his ass provender in the inn, he espied his money; for, behold, it was in his sack’s mouth.”
At the place where they stopped for the night one of them opened his sack to get feed for his donkey, and he saw his silver in the mouth of his sack. The discovery of the silver at the overnight stop is the first moment of the brothers' terror. The application: the discovery of unexpected provision in the midst of a journey that has already been frightening is not always experienced as grace — it can be experienced as threat.
