And he commanded{H6680} the steward of his house,{H1004} saying,{H559} Fill{H4390} the men's{H582} sacks{H572} with food,{H400} as much as{H834} they can{H3201} carry,{H5375} and put{H7760} every man's{H376} money{H3701} in his sack's{H572} mouth.{H6310}

And put{H7760} my cup,{H1375} the silver{H3701} cup,{H1375} in the sack's{H572} mouth{H6310} of the youngest,{H6996} and his grain{H7668} money.{H3701} And he did{H6213} according to the word{H1697} that Joseph{H3130} had spoken.{H1696}

As soon as the morning{H1242} was light,{H215} the men{H582} were sent away,{H7971} they and their asses.{H2543}

[ And] when they were gone out{H3318} of the city,{H5892} and were not yet far off,{H7368} Joseph{H3130} said{H559} unto his steward,{H1004} Up,{H6965} follow{H7291} after{H310} the men;{H582} and when thou dost overtake{H5381} them, say{H559} unto them, Wherefore have ye rewarded{H7999} evil{H7451} for good?{H2896}

Is not this that in which my lord{H113} drinketh,{H8354} and whereby he indeed{H5172} divineth?{H5172} ye have done evil{H7489} in so doing.{H6213}

And he overtook{H5381} them, and he spake{H1696} unto them these{H428} words.{H1697}

And they said{H559} unto him, Wherefore speaketh{H1696} my lord{H113} such words{H1697} as these? Far be it{H2486} from thy servants{H5650} that they should do{H6213} such a thing.{H1697}

Behold, the money,{H3701} which we found{H4672} in our sacks'{H572} mouths,{H6310} we brought again{H7725} unto thee out of the land{H776} of Canaan:{H3667} how then should we steal{H1589} out of thy lord's{H113} house{H1004} silver{H3701} or gold?{H2091}

With whomsoever of thy servants{H5650} it be found,{H4672} let him die,{H4191} and we also will be my lord's{H113} bondmen.{H5650}

And he said,{H559} Now also let it be according unto your words:{H3651} he with whom it is found{H4672} shall be my bondman;{H5650} and ye shall be blameless.{H5355}

Then they hasted,{H4116} and took down{H3381} every man{H376} his sack{H572} to the ground,{H776} and opened{H6605} every man{H376} his sack.{H572}

And he searched,{H2664} [and] began{H2490} at the eldest,{H1419} and left{H3615} off at the youngest:{H6996} and the cup{H1375} was found{H4672} in Benjamin's{H1144} sack.{H572}

Then they rent{H7167} their clothes,{H8071} and laded{H6006} every man{H376} his ass,{H2543} and returned{H7725} to the city.{H5892}

And Judah{H3063} and his brethren{H251} came{H935} to Joseph's{H3130} house;{H1004} and he was yet there: and they fell{H5307} before him{H6440} on the ground.{H776}

And Joseph{H3130} said{H559} unto them, What deed{H4639} is this that ye have done?{H6213} know ye{H3045} not that such a man{H376} as I can indeed{H5172} divine?{H5172}

And Judah{H3063} said,{H559} What shall we say{H559} unto my lord?{H113} what shall we speak?{H1696} or how shall we clear ourselves?{H6663} God{H430} hath found out{H4672} the iniquity{H5771} of thy servants:{H5650} behold, we are my lord's{H113} bondmen,{H5650} both we, and he also{H1571} in whose{H834} hand the cup{H1375} is found.{H4672}

And he said,{H559} Far be it{H2486} from me that I should do{H6213} so:{H2063} the man{H376} in whose hand{H3027} the cup{H1375} is found,{H4672} he shall be my bondman;{H5650} but as for you, get you up{H5927} in peace{H7965} unto your father.{H1}

Then Judah{H3063} came near{H5066} unto him, and said,{H559} Oh,{H994} my lord,{H113} let thy servant,{H5650} I pray thee, speak{H1696} a word{H1697} in my lord's{H113} ears,{H241} and let not thine anger{H639} burn{H2734} against thy servant;{H5650} for thou art even as Pharaoh.{H6547}

My lord{H113} asked{H7592} his servants,{H5650} saying,{H559} Have{H3426} ye a father,{H1} or a brother?{H251}

And we said{H559} unto my lord,{H113} We have{H3426} a father,{H1} an old man,{H2205} and a child{H3206} of his old age,{H2208} a little one;{H6996} and his brother{H251} is dead,{H4191} and he alone is left{H3498} of his mother;{H517} and his father{H1} loveth{H157} him.

And thou saidst{H559} unto thy servants,{H5650} Bring him down{H3381} unto me, that I may set{H7760} mine eyes{H5869} upon him.

And we said{H559} unto my lord,{H113} The lad{H5288} cannot{H3201} leave{H5800} his father:{H1} for if he should leave{H5800} his father,{H1} his father would die.{H4191}

And thou saidst{H559} unto thy servants,{H5650} Except{H3808} your youngest{H6996} brother{H251} come down{H3381} with you, ye shall see{H3254} my face{H6440} no more.{H7200}

And it came to pass when we came up{H5927} unto thy servant{H5650} my father,{H1} we told{H5046} him the words{H1697} of my lord.{H113}

And our father{H1} said,{H559} Go again,{H7725} buy{H7666} us a little{H4592} food.{H400}

And we said,{H559} We cannot{H3201} go down:{H3381} if our youngest{H6996} brother{H251} be{H3426} with us, then will we go down;{H3381} for we may{H3201} not see{H7200} the man's{H376} face,{H6440} except{H369} our youngest{H6996} brother{H251} be with us.

And thy servant{H5650} my father{H1} said{H559} unto us, Ye know{H3045} that my wife{H802} bare{H3205} me two{H8147} sons:

and the one{H259} went out{H3318} from me, and I said,{H559} Surely{H2963} he is torn in pieces;{H2963} and I have not seen him{H7200} since:{H2008}

and if ye take{H3947} this one also from{H5973} me,{H6440} and harm{H611} befall him,{H7136} ye will bring down{H3381} my gray hairs{H7872} with sorrow{H7451} to Sheol.{H7585}

Now therefore when I come{H935} to thy servant{H5650} my father,{H1} and the lad{H5288} is not with us; seeing that his life{H5315} is bound up{H7194} in the lad's life;{H5315}

it will come to pass, when he seeth{H7200} that the lad{H5288} is not [with us], that he will die:{H4191} and thy servants{H5650} will bring down{H3381} the gray hairs{H7872} of thy servant{H5650} our father{H1} with sorrow{H3015} to Sheol.{H7585}

For thy servant{H5650} became surety{H6148} for the lad{H5288} unto{H5973} my father,{H1} saying,{H559} If I bring{H935} him not unto thee, then shall I bear the blame{H2398} to my father{H1} for ever.{H3117}

Now therefore, let thy servant,{H5650} I pray thee, abide{H3427} instead of the lad{H5288} a bondman{H5650} to my lord;{H113} and let the lad{H5288} go up{H5927} with his brethren.{H251}

For how{H349} shall I go up{H5927} to my father,{H1} if the lad{H5288} be not with me? lest I see{H7200} the evil{H7451} that shall come on{H4672} my father.{H1}
