1 And he commanded the steward of his house, saying, Fill the men's sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put every man's money in his sack's mouth. 2 And put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack's mouth of the youngest, and his corn money: and he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken. 3 As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they, and their asses. 4 And when they had gone out of the city, and were not yet far off, Joseph said to his steward, Arise, follow after the men; and when thou dost overtake them, say to them, Why have ye rewarded evil for good? 5 Is not this the cup in which my lord drinketh, and by which indeed he divineth? ye have done evil in so doing. 6 And he overtook them, and he spoke to them these same words.
