44:1
And
he
commanded the
steward
of his
house
, saying,
Fill the men's sacks
with
food
,
as much as they can carry
, and put
every man's money
in his
sack's mouth
.
44:2
And
put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack's mouth of the youngest
, and his
corn money
. And he did according to
the word
that Joseph had spoken.
44:3
As soon as the morning was light
, the men were sent away,
they and their asses
.
44:4
And when they were gone out of
the city
, and not yet far off, Joseph said unto his steward,
Up, follow after the men
; and when thou dost
overtake
them, say unto them,
Wherefore have ye rewarded evil for good?
44:5
Is not this it in which my lord drinketh
, and whereby
indeed he divineth
?
ye have done evil in so doing.
44:6
And he overtook them, and he spake unto them these same words.
44:7
And they said unto him,
Wherefore saith my lord these words?
God forbid
that thy servants should do
according to this thing
:
44:8
Behold
, the money, which we
found in our sacks' mouths
, we brought again unto thee out of
the land of Canaan
: how then should we steal out of
thy lord's house
silver
or
gold
?
44:9
With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, both
let him die
, and we also will be
my lord's bondmen
.
44:10
And he said, Now also
let it be
according unto your words: he with whom it is found shall
be my servant
; and ye shall be
blameless
.
44:11
Then
they speedily took down every man his sack
to
the ground
, and opened
every man
his
sack
.
44:12
And he searched, and
began at the eldest, and left at the youngest
: and
the cup
was found in Benjamin's sack.
44:13
Then
they rent their clothes, and laded every man his ass
, and
returned to the city
.
44:14
And
Judah
and his brethren came to Joseph's house; for he was yet there: and they fell before him
on the ground
.
44:15
And Joseph said unto them,
What deed is this that ye have done?
wot ye not that such a man as I can certainly divine?
44:16
And Judah said,
What shall we say unto my lord?
what shall we speak?
or
how shall we clear ourselves?
God
hath found out the
iniquity
of thy servants: behold, we are my lord's servants, both we, and he also
with whom the cup is found
.
44:17
And he said,
God forbid
that I should do so: but
the man in whose hand the cup is found
,
he shall be my servant
; and as for you,
get you up in peace unto your father
.
44:18
Then Judah came near unto him, and said,
Oh
my lord, let thy servant, I pray thee, speak a word in
my lord's ears
, and
let not thine anger burn against thy servant
: for thou art even as
Pharaoh
.
44:19
My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother?
44:20
And we said unto
my lord
,
We have a father
, an
old man
, and a child of his
old age
, a
little one
; and his brother is
dead
, and
he alone is left of his mother
, and
his father loveth him
.
44:21
And thou saidst unto thy servants,
Bring him down unto me
,
that I may set mine eyes upon him
.
44:22
And we said unto my lord, The
lad
cannot leave his father: for
if he should leave his father, his father would die.
44:23
And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest brother come down with you,
ye shall see my face no more.
44:24
And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my father, we told him
the words of my lord
.
44:25
And
our father
said,
Go again
, and
buy us a little food
.
44:26
And we said,
We cannot go down
:
if our youngest brother be with us, then will we go down
: for we may not see
the man
's face, except our
youngest brother
be with us.
44:27
And thy servant my father said unto us,
Ye know that my wife bare me two sons
:
44:28
And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is
torn in pieces
; and I saw him not since:
44:29
And if ye take this also from me, and mischief befall him,
ye shall bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.
44:30
Now therefore when I come to thy servant my father, and the lad be not with us; seeing that
his life is bound up in the lad's life
;
44:31
It shall come to pass, when he seeth that
the lad is not with us
, that he will die: and thy servants shall bring down the
gray hairs
of thy servant our father with sorrow
to the grave
.
44:32
For thy servant became
surety
for the lad unto my father, saying, If I bring him not unto thee, then I shall
bear the blame
to my father for ever.
44:33
Now therefore, I
pray thee
, let thy servant abide
instead of the lad
a
bondman to my lord
; and
let the lad go up with his brethren
.
44:34
For how shall I go up to my father, and the lad be not with me?
lest
peradventure
I see
the evil that shall come on my father
.
