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,

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

[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

me,

that I may set mine eyes upon him.

GE-44:22 And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his

father:

for [if] he should leave his father, [his father] would die.

GE-44:23 And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest

brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more.

GE-44:24 And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my

father, we told him the words of my lord.

GE-44:25 And our father said, Go again, [and] buy us a little

food.

GE-44:26 And we said, We cannot go down: if our youngest

brother be

with us, then will we go down: for we may not see the man's face,

except our youngest brother [be] with us.

GE-44:27 And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that

my wife

bare me two [sons]:

GE-44:28 And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is

torn

in pieces; and I saw him not since:

GE-44:29 And if ye take this also from me, and mischief befall

him,

ye shall bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.

GE-44:30 Now therefore when I come to thy servant my father,

and the

lad [be] not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the

lad's

life;

GE-44:31 It shall come to pass, when he seeth that the lad [is]

not

[with us], that he will die: and thy servants shall bring down

the

gray hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to the grave.

GE-44:32 For thy servant became surety for the lad unto my

father,

saying, If I bring him not unto thee, then I shall bear the

blame to

my father for ever.

GE-44:33 Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant abide

instead of

the lad a bondman to my lord; and let the lad go up with his

brethren.

GE-44:34 For how shall I go up to my father, and the lad [be]

not

with me? lest peradventure I see the evil that shall come on my

father.
