1 AND he commanded the steward of his house, saying, Fill the men's sacks with wheat, as much as they can carry, and put every man's money in his sack's mouth. 2 And take my cup, the silver cup, and put it in the sack's mouth of the youngest, with his money for the wheat. And the servant did according to the word that Joseph had spoken. 3 As soon as the morning was light, the men started on their way, together with their asses. 4 And when they were gone out of the city, but not yet far off, Joseph said to the steward, Arise, pursue the men; and when you overtake them, say to them, Why have you returned evil for good? 5 This is the cup from which my lord drinks, and by which indeed he divines. You have done evil in so doing. 6 And he overtook them, and he spoke to them these same words. Genesis 44:1-6, Lamsa Bible. Public domain.
