GE-44:1 And he commanded the steward of his house, saying, Fill
the men's
sacks [with] food, as much as they can carry, and put every
man's money in his
sack's mouth.
GE-44:2 And put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack's mouth of
the youngest,
and his corn money. And he did according to the word that Joseph
had spoken.
GE-44:3 As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent
away, they and
their asses.
GE-44:4 [And] when they were gone out of the city, [and] not
[yet] far off,
Joseph said unto his steward, Up, follow after the men; and when
thou dost
overtake them, say unto them, Wherefore have ye rewarded evil
for good?
GE-44:5 [Is] not this [it] in which my lord drinketh, and
whereby indeed he
divineth? ye have done evil in so doing.
GE-44:6 And he overtook them, and he spake unto them these same
words.
GE-44:7 And they said unto him, Wherefore saith my lord these
words? God
forbid that thy servants should do according to this thing:
GE-44:8 Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks' mouths,
we brought
again unto thee out of the land of Canaan: how then should we
steal out of thy
lord's house silver or gold?
GE-44:9 With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, both let
him die, and we
also will be my lord's bondmen.
GE-44:10 And he said, Now also [let] it [be] according unto
your words: he
with whom it is found shall be my servant; and ye shall be
blameless.
GE-44:11 Then they speedily took down every man his sack to the
ground, and
opened every man his sack.
GE-44:12 And he searched, [and] began at the eldest, and left
at the
youngest: and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.
GE-44:13 Then they rent their clothes, and laded every man his
ass, and
returned to the city.
GE-44:14 And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph's house; for
he [was] yet
there: and they fell before him on the ground.
GE-44:15 And Joseph said unto them, What deed [is] this that ye
have done?
wot ye not that such a man as I can certainly divine?
GE-44:16 And Judah said, What shall we say unto my lord? what
shall we speak?
or how shall we clear ourselves? God hath found out the iniquity
of thy
servants: behold, we [are] my lord's servants, both we, and [he]
also with
whom the cup is found.
GE-44:17 And he said, God forbid that I should do so: [but] the
man in whose
hand the cup is found, he shall be my servant; and as for you,
get you up in
peace unto your father.
GE-44:18 Then Judah came near unto him, and said, Oh my lord,
let thy
servant, I pray thee, speak a word in my lord's ears, and let
not thine anger
burn against thy servant: for thou [art] even as Pharaoh.
GE-44:19 My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father,
or a brother?
GE-44:20 And we said unto my lord, We have a father, an old man,
and a child
of his old age, a little one; and his brother is dead, and he
alone is left of
his mother, and his father loveth him.
GE-44:21 And thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down unto
