And puth7760h8799 my cuph1375, the silverh3701 cuph1375, in the sack'sh572 mouthh6310 of the youngesth6996, and his cornh7668 moneyh3701. And he didh6213h8799 according to the wordh1697 that Josephh3130 had spokenh1696h8765.

3

As soon as the morningh1242 was lighth215h8804, the menh582 were sent awayh7971h8795, they and their assesh2543.

4

And when they were gone outh3318h8804 of the cityh5892, and not yet far offh7368h8689, Josephh3130 saidh559h8804 unto his stewardh1004, Uph6965h8798, followh7291h8798 afterh310 the menh582; and when thou dost overtakeh5381h8689 them, sayh559h8804 unto them, Wherefore have ye rewardedh7999h8765 evilh7451 for goodh2896?

5

Is not this it in which my lordh113 drinkethh8354h8799, and whereby indeedh5172h8763 he divinethh5172h8762? ye have done evilh7489h8689 in so doingh6213h8804. divineth: or, maketh trial?

6

And he overtookh5381h8686 them, and he spakeh1696h8762 unto them these sameh428 wordsh1697.

7

And they saidh559h8799 unto him, Wherefore saithh1696h8762 my lordh113 these wordsh1697? God forbidh2486 that thy servantsh5650 should doh6213h8800 according to this thingh1697:

8

Behold, the moneyh3701, which we foundh4672h8804 in our sacksh572' mouthsh6310, we brought againh7725h8689 unto thee out of the landh776 of Canaanh3667: how then should we stealh1589h8799 out of thy lord'sh113 househ1004 silverh3701 or goldh2091?

9

With whomsoever of thy servantsh5650 it be foundh4672h8735, both let him dieh4191h8804, and we also will be my lord'sh113 bondmenh5650.

10

And he saidh559h8799, Now also let it be according unto your wordsh1697:h3651 he with whom it is foundh4672h8735 shall be my servanth5650; and ye shall be blamelessh5355.

11

Then they speedilyh4116h8762 took downh3381h8686 every manh376 his sackh572 to the groundh776, and openedh6605h8799 every manh376 his sackh572.

12

And he searchedh2664h8762, and beganh2490h8689 at the eldesth1419, and lefth3615h8765 at the youngesth6996: and the cuph1375 was foundh4672h8735 in Benjamin'sh1144 sackh572.

13

Then they renth7167h8799 their clothesh8071, and ladedh6006h8799 every manh376 his assh2543, and returnedh7725h8799 to the cityh5892.

14

And Judahh3063 and his brethrenh251 cameh935h8799 to Joseph'sh3130 househ1004; for he was yet there: and they fellh5307h8799 before himh6440 on the groundh776.

15

And Josephh3130 saidh559h8799 unto them, What deedh4639 is this that ye have doneh6213h8804? wot yeh3045h8804 not that such a manh376 as I can certainlyh5172h8763 divineh5172h8762? divine: or, make trial?

16

And Judahh3063 saidh559h8799, What shall we sayh559h8799 unto my lordh113? what shall we speakh1696h8762? or how shall we clear ourselvesh6663h8691? Godh430 hath found outh4672h8804 the iniquityh5771 of thy servantsh5650: behold, we are my lord'sh113 servantsh5650, both we, and he alsoh1571 with whomh834h3027 the cuph1375 is foundh4672h8738.

17

And he saidh559h8799, God forbidh2486 that I should doh6213h8800 soh2063: but the manh376 in whose handh3027 the cuph1375 is foundh4672h8738, he shall be my servanth5650; and as for you, get you uph5927h8798 in peaceh7965 unto your fatherh1.

18

Then Judahh3063 came nearh5066h8799 unto him, and saidh559h8799, Ohh994 my lordh113, let thy servanth5650, I pray thee, speakh1696h8762 a wordh1697 in my lord'sh113 earsh241, and let not thine angerh639 burnh2734h8799 against thy servanth5650: for thou art even as Pharaohh6547.

19

My lordh113 askedh7592h8804 his servantsh5650, sayingh559h8800, Haveh3426 ye a fatherh1, or a brotherh251?

20

And we saidh559h8799 unto my lordh113, We haveh3426 a fatherh1, an old manh2205, and a childh3206 of his old ageh2208, a little oneh6996; and his brotherh251 is deadh4191h8804, and he alone is lefth3498h8735 of his motherh517, and his fatherh1 lovethh157h8804 him.

21

And thou saidsth559h8799 unto thy servantsh5650, Bring him downh3381h8685 unto me, that I may seth7760h8799 mine eyesh5869 upon him.

22

And we saidh559h8799 unto my lordh113, The ladh5288 cannoth3201h8799 leaveh5800h8800 his fatherh1: for if he should leaveh5800h8804 his fatherh1, his father would dieh4191h8804.

23

And thou saidsth559h8799 unto thy servantsh5650, Excepth3808 your youngesth6996 brotherh251 come downh3381h8799 with you, ye shall seeh7200h3254 my faceh6440 no moreh7200h8800h3254h8686.

24

And it came to pass when we came uph5927h8804 unto thy servanth5650 my fatherh1, we toldh5046h8686 him the wordsh1697 of my lordh113.

25

And our fatherh1 saidh559h8799, Go againh7725h8798, and buyh7666h8798 us a littleh4592 foodh400.

26

And we saidh559h8799, We cannoth3201h8799 go downh3381h8800: if our youngesth6996 brotherh251 beh3426 with us, then will we go downh3381h8804: for we mayh3201h8799 not seeh7200h8800 the man'sh376 faceh6440, excepth369 our youngesth6996 brotherh251 be with us.

27

And thy servanth5650 my fatherh1 saidh559h8799 unto us, Ye knowh3045h8804 that my wifeh802 bareh3205h8804 me twoh8147 sons :

28

And the oneh259 went outh3318h8799 from me, and I saidh559h8799, Surelyh2963h8800 he is torn in piecesh2963h8776; and I saw himh7200h8804 not sinceh2008:

29

And if ye takeh3947h8804 this also fromh5973 meh6440, and mischiefh611 befall himh7136h8804, ye shall bring downh3381h8689 my gray hairsh7872 with sorrowh7451 to the graveh7585.

30

Now therefore when I comeh935h8800 to thy servanth5650 my fatherh1, and the ladh5288 be not with us; seeing that his lifeh5315 is bound uph7194h8803 in the lad's lifeh5315;

31

It shall come to pass, when he seethh7200h8800 that the ladh5288 is not with us , that he will dieh4191h8804: and thy servantsh5650 shall bring downh3381h8689 the gray hairsh7872 of thy servanth5650 our fatherh1 with sorrowh3015 to the graveh7585.

32

For thy servanth5650 became suretyh6148h8804 for the ladh5288 untoh5973 my fatherh1, sayingh559h8800, If I bringh935h8686 him not unto thee, then I shall bear the blameh2398h8804 to my fatherh1 for everh3117.

33

Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servanth5650 abideh3427h8799 instead of the ladh5288 a bondmanh5650 to my lordh113; and let the ladh5288 go uph5927h8799 with his brethrenh251.

34

For howh349 shall I go uph5927h8799 to my fatherh1, and the ladh5288 be not with me? lest peradventure I seeh7200h8799 the evilh7451 that shall come onh4672h8799 my fatherh1. come...: Heb. find my father
