Genesis 44:1-6 ▼

1 Then he instructed the manager of his house, saying, |Fill the men’s sacks with as much food as they can carry, and put each man’s silver in the mouth of his sack.

2 Put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack’s mouth of the youngest, along with the silver for his grain.| So he did according to the word that Joseph had told him.

3 As soon as the morning dawned, the men were sent off along with their donkeys.

4 When they were far from the city, Joseph said to his manager, |Up, go after the men, and when you overtake them, ask them, 'Why have you repaid evil for good?

5 Why have you stolen my silver cup? Isn’t it from this that my lord drinks and by which he indeed uses for divination? You have done evil in doing this.'|

6 And he caught up with them and spoke these words to them.
