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 opening of his sack.

2 And put my cup, the silver cup, in the opening of the sack of the youngest, and his money for the grain.” And he did as Joseph had told him.

3 As soon as it was light, the men were sent away, they with their donkeys.

4 They had just left the city, and were not far away, when Joseph said to his house steward, “Up, follow the men; and when you overtake them, say to them, ‘Why have you repaid evil for good?

5 Is this not that from which my lord drinks, and which he indeed uses for divination? You have done wrong in doing this!’”

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