GEN 44:1–17, engwebp
¹He commanded the steward of his house, saying, “Fill the men’s sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put each man’s money in his sack’s mouth.
²Put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack’s mouth of the youngest, with his grain money.” He did according to the word that Joseph had spoken.
³As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their donkeys.
⁴When they had gone out of the city, and were not yet far off, Joseph said to his steward, “Up, follow after the men. When you overtake them, ask them, ‘Why have you rewarded evil for good?
⁵Isn’t this that from which my lord drinks, and by which he indeed divines? You have done evil in so doing.’”
⁶He overtook them, and he spoke these words to them.
⁷They said to him, “Why does my lord speak such words as these? Far be it from your servants that they should do such a thing!
⁸Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks’ mouths, we brought again to you out of the land of Canaan. How then should we steal silver or gold out of your lord’s house?
⁹With whomever of your servants it is found, let him die, and we also will be my lord’s slaves.”
¹⁰He said, “Now also let it be according to your words. He with whom it is found will be my slave; and you will be blameless.”
¹¹Then they hurried, and each man took his sack down to the ground, and each man opened his sack.
¹²He searched, beginning with the oldest, and ending at the youngest. The cup was found in Benjamin’s sack.
¹³Then they tore their clothes, and each man loaded his donkey, and returned to the city.
¹⁴Judah and his brothers came to Joseph’s house, and he was still there. They fell on the ground before him.
¹⁵Joseph said to them, “What deed is this that you have done? Don’t you know that such a man as I can indeed do divination?”
¹⁶Judah said, “What will we tell my lord? What will we speak? How will we clear ourselves? God has found out the iniquity of your servants. Behold, we are my lord’s slaves, both we and he also in whose hand the cup is found.”
¹⁷He said, “Far be it from me that I should do so. The man in whose hand the cup is found, he will be my slave; but as for you, go up in peace to your father.”
