01:043:032 And they set on for him by himself, and for them by
themselves, and for the Egyptians, which did eat with him, by
themselves: because the Egyptians might not eat bread with the Hebrews;
for that is an abomination unto the Egyptians.
01:043:033 And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his
birthright, and the youngest according to his youth: and the men
marvelled one at another.
01:043:034 And he took and sent messes unto them from before him: but
Benjamin's mess was five times so much as any of their's. And they
drank, and were merry with him.
01:044:001 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.
01:044:002 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.
01:044:003 As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away,
they and their asses.
01:044:004 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?
01:044:005 Is not this it in which my lord drinketh, and whereby indeed
he divineth? ye have done evil in so doing.
01:044:006 And he overtook them, and he spake unto them these same
words.
01:044:007 And they said unto him, Wherefore saith my lord these words?
God forbid that thy servants should do according to this thing:
01:044:008 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?
01:044:009 With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, both let him
die, and we also will be my lord's bondmen.
01:044:010 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.
01:044:011 Then they speedily took down every man his sack to the
ground, and opened every man his sack.
01:044:012 And he searched, and began at the eldest, and left at the
youngest: and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.
01:044:013 Then they rent their clothes, and laded every man his ass,
and returned to the city.
01:044:014 And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph's house; for he was
yet there: and they fell before him on the ground.
01:044:015 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?
01:044:016 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.
01:044:017 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.
