ויצו יוסף וימלאו את כליהם
Then Yosef commanded to fill their vessels with corn, and to restore every man’s money into his sack, and to give them provision for the way; and thus was it done unto them.

Sefaria · Bereishis Rabbah 91:9
וּלְהָשִׁיב כַּסְפֵּיהֶם אִישׁ אֶל שַׂקּוֹ. הַכֶּסֶף הַחֹזֵר הוּא חֵלֶק מִן הַמִּבְחָן.
English of Core Text: Bereishis Rabbah 91:9 begins the Midrash’s discussion of the brothers carrying their grain home and the later discovery of the money in their sacks.
On the daf / in context: The midrash understands the secret restoration of the silver as a deliberate provocation that will force the brothers to confront both their fear and their integrity on the journey home.
Type of Learning: Derash on the verse (classic midrash) — not a formal named middah of the 13.
What Is Learned: Yosef’s generosity is also a probe; the money in the sacks will become the next crisis that tests whether the brothers can face an accusation of theft with honesty.
