Genesis 44:2-17
2And putH7760 my cupH1375, the silverH3701 cupH1375, in the sack’sH572 mouthH6310 of the youngestH6996, and his grainH7668 moneyH3701. And he didH6213 according to the wordH1697 that JosephH3130 had spokenH1696. 3As soon as the morningH1242 was lightH215, the menH582 were sent awayH7971, they and their donkeysH2543. 4And when they had gone outH3318 of the cityH5892, and were not yet far offH7368, JosephH3130 saidH559 to his stewardH1004, AriseH6965, followH7291 afterH310 the menH582; and when thou dost overtakeH5381 them, sayH559 to them, Why have ye rewardedH7999 evilH7451 for goodH2896? 5Is not this the cup in which my lordH113 drinkethH8354, and by which indeedH5172 he divinethH5172? ye have done evilH7489 in so doingH6213.1 6And he overtookH5381 them, and he spokeH1696 to them these sameH428 wordsH1697. 7And they saidH559 to him, Why saithH1696 my lordH113 these wordsH1697? Far be it from usH2486 that thy servantsH5650 should doH6213 according to this thingH1697: 8Behold, the moneyH3701, which we foundH4672 in our sacksH572’ mouthsH6310, we brought againH7725 to thee from the landH776 of CanaanH3667: how then should we stealH1589 from thy lord’sH113 houseH1004 silverH3701 or goldH2091? 9With whomever of thy servantsH5650 it shall be foundH4672, both let him dieH4191, and we also will be my lord’sH113 slavesH5650. 10And he saidH559, Now also let it be according to your wordsH1697: he with whom it shall be foundH4672 shall be my servantH5650; and ye shall be blamelessH5355. 11Then they speedilyH4116 took downH3381 every manH376 his sackH572 to the groundH776, and openedH6605 every manH376 his sackH572. 12And he searchedH2664, and beganH2490 at the eldestH1419, and stoppedH3615 at the youngestH6996: and the cupH1375 was foundH4672 in Benjamin’sH1144 sackH572. 13Then they toreH7167 their clothesH8071, and loadedH6006 every manH376 his donkeyH2543, and returnedH7725 to the cityH5892. 14And JudahH3063 and his brethrenH251 cameH935 to Joseph’sH3130 houseH1004; for he was yet there: and they fellH5307 before himH6440 on the groundH776. 15And JosephH3130 saidH559 to them, What deedH4639 is this that ye have doneH6213? knew yeH3045 not that such a manH376 as I can certainlyH5172 divineH5172?2 16And JudahH3063 saidH559, What shall we sayH559 to my lordH113? what shall we speakH1696? or how shall we clear ourselvesH6663? GodH430 hath found outH4672 the iniquityH5771 of thy servantsH5650: behold, we are my lord’sH113 servantsH5650, both we, and he alsoH1571 with whomH834H3027 the cupH1375 is foundH4672. 17And he saidH559, Far be it from meH2486 that I should doH6213 soH2063: the manH376 in whose handH3027 the cupH1375 is foundH4672, he shall be my servantH5650; and as for you, goH5927 in peaceH7965 to your fatherH1.
