Revised Version 1895
Genesis 44:1-8
1And he commandedH6680 the stewardH376 of his houseH1004, sayingH559, FillH4390 the men’sH376 sacksH572 with foodH400, as muchH6310 as they canH3201 carryH5375, and putH7760 everyH376 man’sH376 moneyH3701 in his sack’s mouthH6310.
2And putH7760 my cupH1375, the silverH3701 cupH1375, in the sack’s mouthH6310 of the youngestH6996, and his corn moneyH3701. And he didH6213 accordingH6310 to the wordH1697 that JosephH3130 had spokenH1696.
3As soonH1242 as the morningH1242 was lightH215, the menH376 were sentH7971 awayH7971, they and their asses.
4And when they were goneH3318 outH3318 of the cityH5892, and were notH3808 yet farH7368 offH5921, JosephH3130 saidH559 unto his stewardH376, UpH6965, followH310 afterH310 the menH376; and when thou dost overtakeH5381 them, sayH559 unto them, Wherefore have ye rewarded evilH7451 for goodH2896?
5Is notH3808 this it in whichH834 my lordH113 drinketh, and wherebyH834 he indeedH5172 divineth? ye have doneH6213 evilH7489 in soH6213 doingH6213.
6And he overtookH5381 them, and he spake unto them theseH428 wordsH1697.
7And they saidH559 unto him, Wherefore speaketh my lordH113 suchH2088 wordsH1697 as theseH428? GodH559 forbidH2486 that thy servantsH5650 should doH6213 suchH2088 a thingH1697.
8BeholdH2005, the moneyH3701, whichH834 weH834 foundH4672 in our sacks’ mouthsH6310, weH834 broughtH7725 againH7725 unto thee outH413 of the landH776 of CanaanH3667: howH349 then should weH834 stealH1589 outH413 of thy lord’sH113 houseH1004 silverH3701 or goldH2091?
