They emptied their sacks in front of Jacob, and the family saw the problem grow worse. Targum Pseudo-Jonathan on Genesis 42:35 reports it plainly: every man's bundle of money was in his baggage. Not just Levi's. All of them.
The moment of collective terror
The Aramaic paraphrase, which took its final form in the Land of Israel around the seventh or eighth century CE, emphasizes the audience: "they and their father saw the bundles of money." Jacob sees it too. What had been a private terror at the lodging place is now a public crisis in the family home. The silver sits in a row on the floor — ten bundles, one for each brother who went down, and beside them the gap where Simeon should have been.
They were afraid on account of Simeon
The Targum specifies the direction of the fear: they dreaded what the Egyptian ruler would do to Simeon when he discovered the missing money. From their point of view, the grain had been stolen. Simeon was the hostage. Their brother's life was now the collateral against an apparent theft they had not even committed. The rabbinic tradition reads the silver not as kindness but as a second layer of the test: Joseph is forcing his brothers to carry terror home, so that they will be motivated to return — and to bring Benjamin.
The takeaway
What looks like a gift can also be a summons. The silver that was meant to save them was the very thing that would force them back to Egypt. Joseph has built a trap that only reconciliation can spring.
