1 And Joseph commanded the steward of his house, saying: Fill their sacks with corn, as much as they can hold: and put the money of every one in the top of his sack. 2 And in the mouth of the younger's sack put my silver cup, and the price which he gave for the wheat. And it was so done. 3 And when the morning arose, they were sent away with their asses. 4 And when they were now departed out of the city, and had gone forward a little way; Joseph sendingfor the steward of his house, said: Arise, and pursue after the men: and when thou hast overtaken them, say to them: Why have you returned evil for good? 5 The cup which you have stolen is that in which my lord drinketh, and in which he is wont to divine: you have done a very evil thing. 6 He did as he had commanded him. And having overtaken them, he spoke to them the same words. Genesis 44:1-6, Douay-Rheims Bible. Public domain.
