showed how much emunah and bitachon you have that Hashem will take care of you, I can tell you that you will be blessed with great wealth in the merit of your faith and trust.”
And so it was. As soon as he got home, he was sent a profitable business opportunity and, from then on, saw much success and became very rich.

His Sins are Forgiven:
The pasuk states (Yirmiyahu 5:1): “Stroll in the streets of Yerushalaim, and see now and know, and seek in its squares, whether you will find a man, whether there is one who performs justice, who seeks emunah, and I will forgive her.”
The Yesod Ha’avodah of Slonim zy”a explains that this is referring to someone who does not have perfect emunah, and is saying that as long as the person “seeks emunah”, meaning that he desires to have it, he will be forgiven of his sins.
וְ נָתַ תָ ּ עַ ל הַ שֻ ּׁלְ חָ ן לֶחֶ ם וגו' לְ פָ נַי תָ ּמִ יד (כה:ל)
And you shall place on the table bread... before Me at all times. (25:30)
Food for the Poor Always on the Table:
Rav Moshe Leib of Sasov zy”a would say that the lechem hapanim teaches us that every Jewish table should always have bread upon it so that one is always prepared to feed a poor, hungry man who may ask for food.
