Genesis 44:1-8

1And he commandedH6680 him who was over his houseH1004, sayingH559, FillH4390 the men's sacksH572 with foodH400, as much as they can carryH5375; and putH7760 every man's moneyH3701 in the mouthH6310 of his sackH572.

2And putH7760 my cupH1375, the silverH3701 cupH1375, in the mouthH6310 of the sackH572 of the youngestH6996, and his grain-money. And he did according to the wordH1697 of JosephH3130 which he had spokenH1696.

3In the morningH1242, when it was lightH215, the menH376 were sentH7971 awayH7971, they and their asses.

4They were goneH3318 out of the cityH5892, [and] not [yet] farH7368 off, whenH834 JosephH3130 saidH559 to him who was over his houseH1004, Up! follow after the menH376; and whenH834 thou overtakest them, thou shalt sayH559 to them, WhyH4100 have ye rewarded evilH7451 for goodH2896?

5Is not this [it] in which my lordH113 drinksH8354, and in which indeedH5172 he divines? Ye have done evilH7489 [in] what ye have done.

6And he overtookH5381 them, and he spokeH1696 to them these wordsH1697.

7And they saidH559 to him, WhyH4100 does my lordH113 speakH1696 such wordsH1697 as these? FarH2486 be it from thy servantsH5650 to do such a thingH1697!

8Behold, the moneyH3701 that we foundH4672 in our sacks' mouthsH6310 we have broughtH7725 again to thee from the landH776 of CanaanH3667; and howH349 should we stealH1589 out of thy lord's houseH1004 silverH3701 or goldH2091?
