Genesis 44:1 And he commanded6680 the steward of his house,1004{Heb. him that was over his house} saying,559 Fill4390 the men's582 sacks572with food,400 as much as834 they can3201 carry,5375 and put7760 every man's376 money3701 in his sack's572 mouth.63102 And put7760 my cup,1375 the silver3701 cup,1375 in the sack's572 mouth6310 of the youngest,6996 and his corn7668 money.3701 And he did6213 according to the word1697 that Joseph3130 had spoken.16963 As soon as the morning1242 was light,215 the men582 were sent away,7971 they and their asses.25434And when they were gone out3318 of the city,5892and not yet far off,7368 Joseph3130 said559 unto his steward,1004 Up,6965 follow7291 after310 the men;582 and when thou dost overtake5381 them, say559 unto them, Wherefore have ye rewarded7999 evil7451 for good?28965Is not this it in which my lord113 drinketh,8354 and whereby indeed5172 he divineth?5172{Or, maketh trial} ye have done evil7489 in so doing.6213
Genesis 44:6 And he overtook5381 them, and he spake1696 unto them these same428 words.16977 And they said559 unto him, Wherefore saith1696 my lord113 these words?1697 God forbid2486 that thy servants5650 should do6213 according to this thing:16978 Behold, the money,3701 which we found4672 in our sacks'572 mouths,6310 we brought again7725 unto thee out of the land776 of Canaan:3667 how then should we steal1589 out of thy lord's113 house1004 silver3701 or gold?20919 With whomsoever of thy servants5650 it be found,4672 both let him die,4191 and we also will be my lord's113 bondmen.565010 And he said,559 Now also let it be according unto your words:16973651 he with whom it is found4672 shall be my servant;5650 and ye shall be blameless.535511 Then they speedily4116 took down3381 every man376 his sack572 to the ground,776 and opened6605 every man376 his sack.57212 And he searched,2664and began2490 at the eldest,1419 and left3615 at the youngest:6996 and the cup1375 was found4672 in Benjamin's1144 sack.57213 Then they rent7167 their clothes,8071 and laded6006 every man376 his ass,2543 and returned7725 to the city.5892
Genesis 44:14 And Judah3063 and his brethren251 came935 to Joseph's3130 house;1004 for he was yet there: and they fell5307 before him6440 on the ground.77615 And Joseph3130 said559 unto them, What deed4639is this that ye have done?6213 wot ye3045 not that such a man376 as I can certainly5172 divine?5172{Or, make trial?}16 And Judah3063 said,559 What shall we say559 unto my lord?113 what shall we speak?1696 or how shall we clear ourselves?6663 God430 hath found out4672 the iniquity5771 of thy servants:5650 behold, we are my lord's113 servants,5650 both we, and he also1571 with whom8343027 the cup1375 is found.467217 And he said,559 God forbid2486 that I should do6213 so:2063but the man376 in whose hand3027 the cup1375 is found,4672 he shall be my servant;5650 and as for you, get you up5927 in peace7965 unto your father.1
Genesis 44:18 Then Judah3063 came near5066 unto him, and said,559 Oh994 my lord,113 let thy servant,5650 I pray thee, speak1696 a word1697 in my lord's113 ears,241 and let not thine anger639 burn2734 against thy servant:5650 for thou art even as Pharaoh.654719 My lord113 asked7592 his servants,5650 saying,559 Have3426 ye a father,1 or a brother?25120 And we said559 unto my lord,113 We have3426 a father,1 an old man,2205 and a child3206 of his old age,2208 a little one;6996 and his brother251 is dead,4191 and he alone is left3498 of his mother,517 and his father1 loveth157 him.
21 And thou saidst559 unto thy servants,5650 Bring him down3381 unto me, that I may set7760 mine eyes5869 upon him.
22 And we said559 unto my lord,113 The lad5288 cannot3201 leave5800 his father:1 for if he should leave5800 his father,1hisfather would die.419123 And thou saidst559 unto thy servants,5650 Except3808 your youngest6996 brother251 come down3381 with you, ye shall see720027943254 my face6440 no more.7200325424 And it came to pass when we came up5927 unto thy servant5650 my father,1 we told5046 him the words1697 of my lord.11325 And our father1 said,559 Go again,7725and buy7666 us a little4592 food.40026 And we said,559 We cannot3201 go down:3381 if our youngest6996 brother251 be3426 with us, then will we go down:3381 for we may3201 not see7200 the man's376 face,6440 except369 our youngest6996 brother251be with us.
27 And thy servant5650 my father1 said559 unto us, Ye know3045 that my wife802 bare3205 me two8147sons:28 And the one259 went out3318 from me, and I said,559 Surely2963 he is torn in pieces;2963 and I saw him7200 not since:200829 And if ye take3947 this also from5973 me,6440 and mischief611 befall him,7136 ye shall bring down3381 my gray hairs7872 with sorrow7451 to the grave.758530 Now therefore when I come935 to thy servant5650 my father,1 and the lad5288be not with us; seeing that his life5315 is bound up7194 in the lad's life;531531 It shall come to pass, when he seeth7200 that the lad5288is not withus, that he will die:4191 and thy servants5650 shall bring down3381 the gray hairs7872 of thy servant5650 our father1 with sorrow3015 to the grave.758532 For thy servant5650 became surety6148 for the lad5288 unto5973 my father,1 saying,559 If I bring935 him not unto thee, then I shall bear the blame2398 to my father1 for ever.311733 Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant5650 abide3427 instead of the lad5288 a bondman5650 to my lord;113 and let the lad5288 go up5927 with his brethren.25134 For how349 shall I go up5927 to my father,1 and the lad5288be not with me? lest peradventure I see7200 the evil7451 that shall come on4672 my father.1{Heb. find my father}
