1 And he commanded <06680> (8762) the steward of his house <01004>, saying <0559> (8800), Fill <04390> (8761) the men#s <0582> sacks <0572> with food <0400>, as much as <0834> they can <03201> (8799) carry <05375> (8800), and put <07760> (8798) every man#s <0376> money <03701> in his sack#s <0572> mouth <06310> .
2 And put <07760> (8799) my cup <01375>, the silver <03701> cup <01375>, in the sack#s <0572> mouth <06310> of the youngest <06996>, and his corn <07668> money <03701>. And he did <06213> (8799) according to the word <01697> that Joseph <03130> had spoken <01696> (8765).
3 As soon as the morning <01242> was light <0215> (8804), the men <0582> were sent away <07971> (8795), they and their asses <02543>.
4 And when they were gone out <03318> (8804) of the city <05892>, and not yet far off <07368> (8689), Joseph <03130> said <0559> (8804) unto his steward <01004>, Up <06965> (8798), follow <07291> (8798) after <0310> the men <0582>; and when thou dost overtake <05381> (8689) them, say <0559> (8804) unto them, Wherefore have ye rewarded <07999> (8765) evil <07451> for good <02896>?
5 Is not this it in which my lord <0113> drinketh <08354> (8799), and whereby indeed <05172> (8763) he divineth <05172> (8762)? ye have done evil <07489> (8689) in so doing <06213> (8804).
6 And he overtook <05381> (8686) them, and he spake <01696> (8762) unto them these same <0428> words <01697>.
7 And they said <0559> (8799) unto him, Wherefore saith <01696> (8762) my lord <0113> these words <01697> ? God forbid <02486> that thy servants <05650> should do <06213> (8800) according to this thing <01697>:
8 Behold, the money <03701>, which we found <04672> (8804) in our sacks <0572># mouths <06310>, we brought again <07725> (8689) unto thee out of the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>: how then should we steal <01589> (8799) out of thy lord#s <0113> house <01004> silver <03701> or gold <02091>?
9 With whomsoever of thy servants <05650> it be found <04672> (8735), both let him die <04191> (8804), and we also will be my lord#s <0113> bondmen <05650>.
10 And he said <0559> (8799), Now also let it be according unto your words <01697>: <03651> he with whom it is found <04672> (8735) shall be my servant <05650>; and ye shall be blameless <05355>.
11 Then they speedily <04116> (8762) took down <03381> (8686) every man <0376> his sack <0572> to the ground <0776>, and opened <06605> (8799) every man <0376> his sack <0572>.
12 And he searched <02664> (8762), and began <02490> (8689) at the eldest <01419>, and left <03615> (8765) at the youngest <06996>: and the cup <01375> was found <04672> (8735) in Benjamin#s <01144> sack <0572> .
13 Then they rent <07167> (8799) their clothes <08071>, and laded <06006> (8799) every man <0376> his ass <02543>, and returned <07725> (8799) to the city <05892>.
14 And Judah <03063> and his brethren <0251> came <0935> (8799) to Joseph#s <03130> house <01004>; for he was yet there: and they fell <05307> (8799) before him <06440> on the ground <0776>.
15 And Joseph <03130> said <0559> (8799) unto them, What deed <04639> is this that ye have done <06213> (8804)? wot ye <03045> (8804) not that such a man <0376> as I can certainly <05172> (8763) divine <05172> (8762) ?
16 And Judah <03063> said <0559> (8799), What shall we say <0559> (8799) unto my lord <0113>? what shall we speak <01696> (8762)? or how shall we clear ourselves <06663> (8691)? God <0430> hath found out <04672> (8804) the iniquity <05771> of thy servants <05650>: behold, we are my lord#s <0113> servants <05650>, both we, and he also <01571> with whom <0834> <03027> the cup <01375> is found <04672> (8738).
17 And he said <0559> (8799), God forbid <02486> that I should do <06213> (8800) so <02063>: but the man <0376> in whose hand <03027> the cup <01375> is found <04672> (8738), he shall be my servant <05650>; and as for you, get you up <05927> (8798) in peace <07965> unto your father <01>.
18 Then Judah <03063> came near <05066> (8799) unto him, and said <0559> (8799), Oh <0994> my lord <0113>, let thy servant <05650>, I pray thee, speak <01696> (8762) a word <01697> in my lord#s <0113> ears <0241> , and let not thine anger <0639> burn <02734> (8799) against thy servant <05650>: for thou art even as Pharaoh <06547>.
19 My lord <0113> asked <07592> (8804) his servants <05650>, saying <0559> (8800), Have <03426> ye a father <01>, or a brother <0251>?
20 And we said <0559> (8799) unto my lord <0113>, We have <03426> a father <01>, an old man <02205> , and a child <03206> of his old age <02208>, a little one <06996>; and his brother <0251> is dead <04191> (8804), and he alone is left <03498> (8735) of his mother <0517>, and his father <01> loveth <0157> (8804) him.
21 And thou saidst <0559> (8799) unto thy servants <05650>, Bring him down <03381> (8685) unto me, that I may set <07760> (8799) mine eyes <05869> upon him.
22 And we said <0559> (8799) unto my lord <0113>, The lad <05288> cannot <03201> (8799) leave <05800> (8800) his father <01>: for if he should leave <05800> (8804) his father <01>, his father would die <04191> (8804).
23 And thou saidst <0559> (8799) unto thy servants <05650>, Except <03808> your youngest <06996> brother <0251> come down <03381> (8799) with you, ye shall see <07200> <00> <03254> <00> my face <06440> no more <07200> (8800) <03254> (8686).
24 And it came to pass when we came up <05927> (8804) unto thy servant <05650> my father <01>, we told <05046> (8686) him the words <01697> of my lord <0113>.
25 And our father <01> said <0559> (8799), Go again <07725> (8798), and buy <07666> (8798) us a little <04592> food <0400>.
26 And we said <0559> (8799), We cannot <03201> (8799) go down <03381> (8800): if our youngest <06996> brother <0251> be <03426> with us, then will we go down <03381> (8804): for we may <03201> (8799) not see <07200> (8800) the man#s <0376> face <06440>, except <0369> our youngest <06996> brother <0251> be with us.
27 And thy servant <05650> my father <01> said <0559> (8799) unto us, Ye know <03045> (8804) that my wife <0802> bare <03205> (8804) me two <08147> sons:
28 And the one <0259> went out <03318> (8799) from me, and I said <0559> (8799), Surely <02963> (8800) he is torn in pieces <02963> (8776); and I saw him <07200> (8804) not since <02008>:
29 And if ye take <03947> (8804) this also from <05973> me <06440>, and mischief <0611> befall him <07136> (8804), ye shall bring down <03381> (8689) my gray hairs <07872> with sorrow <07451> to the grave <07585>.
30 Now therefore when I come <0935> (8800) to thy servant <05650> my father <01>, and the lad <05288> be not with us; seeing that his life <05315> is bound up <07194> (8803) in the lad#s life <05315>;
31 It shall come to pass, when he seeth <07200> (8800) that the lad <05288> is not with us, that he will die <04191> (8804): and thy servants <05650> shall bring down <03381> (8689) the gray hairs <07872> of thy servant <05650> our father <01> with sorrow <03015> to the grave <07585>.
32 For thy servant <05650> became surety <06148> (8804) for the lad <05288> unto <05973> my father <01> , saying <0559> (8800), If I bring <0935> (8686) him not unto thee, then I shall bear the blame <02398> (8804) to my father <01> for ever <03117>.
33 Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant <05650> abide <03427> (8799) instead of the lad <05288> a bondman <05650> to my lord <0113>; and let the lad <05288> go up <05927> (8799) with his brethren <0251>.
34 For how <0349> shall I go up <05927> (8799) to my father <01>, and the lad <05288> be not with me? lest peradventure I see <07200> (8799) the evil <07451> that shall come on <04672> (8799) my father <01>.
