Genesis 44:1-6 ▼

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 Now 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 the morning light broke, the men were sent away, they with their donkeys.

4 Now they had just gone out of the city and were not far off when Joseph said to his house steward, “Arise, pursue the men; you shall overtake them and 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 to interpret omens? You have done evil in doing this.’”

6 So he overtook them and spoke these words to them.
