וַיַּרְא יוֹסֵף אִתָּם אֶת־בִּנְיָמִין וַיֹּאמֶר לַאֲשֶׁר עַל־בֵּיתוֹ הָבֵא אֶת־הָאֲנָשִׁים הַבָּיְתָה וּטְבֹחַ טֶבַח וְהָכֵן כִּי אִתִּי יֹאכְלוּ הָאֲנָשִׁים בַּצׇּהֳרָיִם׃
When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to his house steward, “Take those men into the house; slaughter and prepare an animal, for at noon they will dine—with me.”

The man did as Joseph said: he brought the men into Joseph’s house.
Targum Onkelos

But the men were frightened at being brought into Joseph’s house. “It must be,” they thought, “because of the money replaced in our bags the first time that we have been brought inside, as a pretext to attack us and seize us as slaves, with our pack animals.”
Targum Onkelos
וּדְחִילוּ גּוּבְרַיָּא אֲרֵי אִתָּעֲלוּ לְבֵית יוֹסֵף וַאֲמַרוּ עַל עֵיסַק כַּסְפָּא דְּאִתָּתַב בְּטוּעְנַנָא בְּקַדְמֵיתָא אֲנַחְנָא מִתָּעֲלִין לְאִתְרַבְרָבָא עֲלַנָא וּלְאִסְתַּקָּפָא עֲלַנָא וּלְמִקְנֵי יָתַנָא לְעַבְדִּין וּלְמִדְבַּר יָת חֲמָרַנָא׃
The men were afraid because they had been brought to Yoseif’s house, and they said, Because of the money that was returned in our bags previously are we being brought [here]; that he may turn on [act as a lord over] us and come down on [libel] us, and take [acquire] us for slaves along with [and take] our donkeys.

So they went up to Joseph’s house steward and spoke to him at the entrance of the house.
