Genesis 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 . Copy 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 . Copy 3 As soon as the morning was light , the men were sent away , they and their asses . Copy 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 ? Copy 5 Is not this it in which my lord drinketh , and whereby indeed he divineth ? ye have done evil in so doing . Copy 6 And he overtook them, and he spake unto them these same words . Copy 7 And they said unto him, Wherefore saith my lord these words ? God forbid that thy servants should do according to this thing : Copy 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 ? Copy 9 With whomsoever of thy servants it be found , both let him die , and we also will be my lord’s bondmen . Copy 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 . Copy 11 Then they speedily took down every man his sack to the ground , and opened every man his sack . Copy 12 And he searched , and began at the eldest , and left at the youngest : and the cup was found in Benjamin’s sack . Copy 13 Then they rent their clothes , and laded every man his ass , and returned to the city . Copy 14 And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph’s house ; for he was yet there: and they fell before him on the ground . Copy 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 ? Copy 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 . Copy 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 . Copy 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 . Copy 19 My lord asked his servants , saying , Have ye a father , or a brother ? Copy 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. Copy 21 And thou saidst unto thy servants , Bring him down unto me, that I may set mine eyes upon him. Copy 22 And we said unto my lord , The lad cannot leave his father : for if he should leave his father , his father would die . Copy 23 And thou saidst unto thy servants , Except your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more . Copy 24 And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my father , we told him the words of my lord . Copy 25 And our father said , Go again , and buy us a little food . Copy 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. Copy 27 And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my wife bare me two sons: Copy 28 And the one went out from me, and I said , Surely he is torn in pieces ; and I saw him not since : Copy 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 . Copy 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 ; Copy 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 . Copy 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 . Copy 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 . Copy 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 . Copy
