1 He instructed the servant who was over his household, |Fill the sacks of the men with as much food as they can carry and put each man's money in the mouth of his sack.

2 Then put my cup--the silver cup--in the mouth of the youngest one's sack, along with the money for his grain.| He did as Joseph instructed.

3 When morning came, the men and their donkeys were sent off.

4 They had not gone very far from the city when Joseph said to the servant who was over his household, |Pursue the men at once! When you overtake them, say to them, 'Why have you repaid good with evil?

5 Doesn't my master drink from this cup and use it for divination? You have done wrong!'|

6 When the man overtook them, he spoke these words to them.
