创43:30And Joseph made haste; for his bowels did yearn upon his brother: and he sought where to weep; and he entered into his chamber, and wept there.

创43:31And he washed his face, and went out, and refrained himself, and said, Set on bread.

创43:32And they set on for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians, which did eat with him, by themselves: because the Egyptians might not eat bread with the Hebrews; for that is an abomination unto the Egyptians.

创43:33And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the youngest according to his youth: and the men marvelled one at another.

创43:34And he took and sent messes unto them from before him: but Benjamin's mess was five times so much as any of theirs. And they drank, and were merry with him.

创44:1And 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.

创44:2And 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.

创44:3As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their asses.

创44:4And when they were gone out of the city, and not yet far off, Joseph said unto his steward, Up, follow after the men; and when thou dost overtake them, say unto them, Wherefore have ye rewarded evil for good?

创44:5Is not this it in which my lord drinketh, and whereby indeed he divineth? ye have done evil in so doing.

创44:6And he overtook them, and he spake unto them these same words.

创44:7And they said unto him, Wherefore saith my lord these words? God forbid that thy servants should do according to this thing:

创44:8Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks' mouths, we brought again unto thee out of the land of Canaan: how then should we steal out of thy lord's house silver or gold?

创44:9With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, both let him die, and we also will be my lord's bondmen.

创44:10And he said, Now also let it be according unto your words: he with whom it is found shall be my servant; and ye shall be blameless.

创44:11Then they speedily took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack.

创44:12And he searched, and began at the eldest, and left at the youngest: and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.

创44:13Then they rent their clothes, and laded every man his ass, and returned to the city.

创44:14And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph's house; for he was yet there: and they fell before him on the ground.

创44:15And Joseph said unto them, What deed is this that ye have done? wot ye not that such a man as I can certainly divine?
