Genesis 44:1-8
1Then Joseph instructedH6680 his stewardH834H5921H1004H559: “Fill the men’sH582 sacksH572 withH4390 as much foodH400 asH834 they canH3201 carryH5375, and putH7760 each one’sH376 silverH3701 in the mouthH6310 of his sackH572. 2PutH7760 my cupH1375, the silverH3701 oneH1375, in the mouthH6310 of the youngest one’sH6996 sackH572, along with the silverH3701 for his grainH7668.”
So the steward didH6213H1697 as JosephH3130 had instructedH1696.
3At daybreakH1242H215, the menH582 were sent on their wayH7971H1992 with their donkeysH2543. 4TheyH1992 had notH3808 goneH3318 farH7368 from the cityH5892 when JosephH3130 toldH559 his stewardH834H5921H1004, “PursueH7291H310 the menH582 at onceH6965, and when you overtake themH5381, askH559H413, ‘WhyH4100 have you repaidH7999 goodH8478H2896 with evilH7451?1 5Is this notH3808H2088 the cup2 my masterH113 drinks fromH8354 and uses for divinationH5172? WhatH834 you have doneH6213 is wickedH7489!’”
6When the steward overtook themH5381, he relayedH1696 theseH428 wordsH1697 to themH413.
7“WhyH4100 does my lordH113 sayH1696 theseH428 thingsH1697?” they askedH559H413. “Your servantsH5650 could not possiblyH2486 doH6213 suchH2088 a thingH1697. 8We even brought backH2005H7725 to youH413 from the landH776 of CanaanH3667 the silverH3701 we foundH4672 in the mouthsH6310 of our sacksH572. WhyH349 would we stealH1589 silverH3701 orH176 goldH2091 from your master’sH113 houseH1004?
