Gen 43:21
and it came about when we came to the lodging place, that we opened our sacks, and behold, each man's money was in the mouth of his sack, our money in full. So we have brought it back in our hand.

Gen 43:22
"We have also brought down other money in our hand to buy food; we do not know who put our money in our sacks."

They wanted to get a head start on their excuses. They think they are fighting for their lives..

Gen 43:23
And he said, "Be at ease, do not be afraid. Your God and the God of your father has given you treasure in your sacks; I had your money." Then he brought Simeon out to them.

Joseph said that he received all the money they paid and that they owe him nothing. He said they could credit their Elohim and the Elohim of their father for their extra money, no matter how it was conveyed. This is how Elohim desires to work in the world. He wants His people to do His wishes. When we give money, food, shelter, clothing, or anything to our brother in need, then we are doing the work of our Father in Heaven. It boils down to the fact that if we do truly love our neighbor, we are only doing what is commanded. If we do what He commands (and He supplies it all), then we are acting as faithful servants if His.
