1
Then he commanded
his house
steward,
saying,
"Fill
the men's
sacks
with food,
as much
as they can
carry,
and put
each man's
money
in the mouth
of his sack.
2
"Put
my
cup,
the silver
cup,
in the mouth
of the sack
of the youngest,
and his money
for the grain."
And he did
as Joseph
had told
him.
3
As soon
as it was light,
the men
were sent away,
they with their donkeys.
4
They had just gone
out of the city,
and were not far
off, when Joseph
said
to his house
steward,
"Up, follow
the men;
and when you overtake
them, say
to them, 'Why
have you repaid
evil
for good?
5
'
Is not this
the one from which
my lord
drinks
and which he indeed
uses for divination?
You have done wrong
in doing
this.'"
6
So he overtook
them and spoke
these
words
to them.
7
They said
to him, "Why
does my lord
speak
such
words
as these?
Far
be it from your servants
to do
such
a thing.
8
"Behold,
the money
which
we found
in the mouth
of our sacks
we have brought back
to you from the land
of Canaan.
How
then could we steal
silver
or
gold
from your l
or
d's
house?
9
"With whomever
of your servants
it is found,
let him die,
and we also
will be my lord's
slaves."
10
So he said,
"Now
let it also
be according to your words;
he with whom
it is found
shall be my slave,
and the rest of you shall be innocent."
11
Then they hurried,
each
man
lowered
his sack
to the ground,
and
each
man
opened
his sack
.
12
He searched,
beginning
with the oldest
and ending
with the youngest,
and the cup
was found
in Benjamin's
sack.
13
Then they tore
their clothes,
and when each man
loaded
his donkey,
they returned
to the city.
14
When Judah
and his brothers
came
to Joseph's
house,
he was still
there,
and they fell
to the ground
before
him.
15
Joseph
said
to them, "What
is this
deed
that you have done?
Do you not know
that such
a man
as I can in
deed
practice divination?"
16
So Judah
said,
"
What
can we say
to my lord?
What
can we speak?
And how
can we justify
ourselves? God
has found
out the iniquity
of your servants;
behold,
we are my lord's
slaves,
both
we and the one in whose
possession
the cup
has been found."
17
But he said,
"Far
be it from me to do
this.
The man
in whose
possession
the cup
has been found,
he shall be my slave;
but as for you, go
up in peace
to your father."
18
Then Judah
approached
him, and said,
"Oh
my lord,
may your servant
please
speak
a word
in my lord's
ears,
and do not be angry
with your servant;
for you are equal to Pharaoh.
19
"My l
or
d
asked
his servants,
saying,
'Have
you a father
or
a brother?'
20
"We said
to my lord,
'We have
an old
father
and a little
child
of his old age.
Now his brother
is dead,
so he alone
is left
of his mother,
and his
father
loves
him.'
21
"Then you said
to your servants,
'
Bring him down
to me that I may set
my eyes
on him.'
22
"But we said
to my lord,
'The lad
cannot
leave
his father,
for if he should
leave
his father,
his father would die.'
23
"You said
to your servants,
however, 'Unless
your youngest
brother
comes down
with you, you will not see
my face
again.'
24
"Thus it came
about when
we went
up to your servant
my father,
we told
him the words
of my lord.
25
"Our father
said,
'Go back,
buy
us a little
food.'
26
"But we said,
'We cannot
go
down.
If
our youngest
brother
is with us, then we will
go
down;
for we cannot
see
the man's
face
unless
our youngest
brother
is with us.'
27
"Your servant
my father
said
to us, 'You know
that my wife
bore
me two
sons;
28
and the one
went
out from me, and I said,
"Surely
he is torn
in pieces,"
and I have not seen
him since.
29
'
If you take
this one
also
from me, and harm
befalls
him, you will bring
my gray hair
down
to Sheol
in sorrow.'
30
"Now,
therefore, when I come
to your servant
my father,
and the lad
is not with us, since his life
is bound
up in the lad's life,
31
when he sees
that the lad
is not with us, he will die.
Thus your servants
will bring
the gray hair
of your servant
our father
down
to Sheol
in sorrow.
32
"For your servant
became surety
for the lad
to my father,
saying,
'If
I do not bring
him back to you, then let me bear the blame
before my father
forever.'
33
"Now,
therefore, please
let your servant
remain
instead
of the lad
a slave
to my lord,
and let the lad
go
up with his brothers.
34
"For how
shall I go
up to my father
if the lad
is not with me-- for fear
that I see
the evil
that would overtake
my father?"
