Genesis 44:1-8

11Then he commandedH6680 his houseH1004 stewardH834H5921, sayingH559, “FillH4390 the men’sH376 sacksH572 with foodH400, as muchH3512 as they canH3201 carryH5375, and putH7760 eachH376 man’sH376 moneyH3701 in the mouthH6310 of his sackH572. 2PutH7760 my cupH1375, the silverH3701 cupH1375, in the mouthH6310 of the sackH572 of the youngestH6996, and his moneyH3701 for the grainH7668.” And he didH6213 2as JosephH3130 had toldH1696 him. 33As soonH1242 as it was lightH215, the menH376 were sentH7971 awayH7971, they with their donkeysH2543. 4They had just goneH3318 out of 4the cityH5892, and were not farH7368 off, when JosephH3130 saidH559 to his houseH1004 stewardH834H5921, “Up, followH7291H310 the menH376; and when you overtakeH5381 them, sayH559 to them, ‘WhyH4100 have you repaidH7999 evilH7463 for goodH2899? 5Is not thisH2088 the one from whichH834 my lordH113 drinksH8354 and which he indeedH5172 usesH5172 for 5divinationH5172? You have doneH7489 wrongH7489 in doingH6213 thisH834.’”

6So he overtookH5381 them and spokeH1696 theseH428 wordsH1697 to them. 7They saidH559 to him, “WhyH4100 does my lordH113 speakH1696 such wordsH1697 as theseH428? FarH2486 be it from your servantsH5650 to doH6213 suchH2088 a thingH1697. 8BeholdH2005, 6the moneyH3701 whichH834 we foundH4672 in the mouthH6310 of our sacksH572 we have broughtH7725 backH7725 to you from the landH776 of CanaanH3667. HowH349 then could we stealH1589 silverH3701 orH176 goldH2091 from your lord’sH113 houseH1004?
