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.
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.
44:3 As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent
away, they and their asses.
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?
44:5 [Is] not this [it] in which my lord drinketh, and
whereby indeed he divineth? ye have done evil in so doing.
44:6 And he overtook them, and he spake unto them these same
words.
44:7 And they said unto him, Wherefore saith my lord these
words? God forbid that thy servants should do according to this
thing:
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?
44:9 With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, both let
him die, and we also will be my lord's bondmen.
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.
44:11 Then they speedily took down every man his sack to the
ground, and opened every man his sack.
44:12 And he searched, [and] began at the eldest, and left at
the youngest: and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.
44:13 Then they rent their clothes, and laded every man his
ass, and returned to the city.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
44:19 My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father,
or a brother?
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.
44:21 And thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down unto
me, that I may set mine eyes upon him.
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.
44:23 And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest
brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more.
44:24 And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my
father, we told him the words of my lord.
44:25 And our father said, Go again, [and] buy us a little
food.
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.
44:27 And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my
wife bare me two [sons]:
44:28 And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is
torn in pieces; and I saw him not since:
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.
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;
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.
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.
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.
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.
