The Brothers Are Brought Back1 aThen 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 mouth° of his sack°. 2 Put° my cup°, the silver° cup°, in the mouth° of the sack° of the youngest°, and his money° for the grain°.” And he did° Ias Joseph° had told° [him]. 3 IAs soon° as it was light°, the men° were sent° away°, they with their donkeys°. 4 They had [just] gone° out of athe city°, [and] were not far° off, 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 not this° the one from which° my lord° drinks° and which he indeed° uses° for adivination°? You have done° wrong° in doing° this°.’” [1] aGn 42:25

Far° be it from your servants° to do° such° a thing°. 8 Behold°, athe money° which° we found° in the mouth° of our sacks° we have brought° back° to you from the land° of Canaan°. How° then could we steal° silver° or° gold° from your lord’s° house°? 9 aWith whomever° of your servants° it is found°, let him die°, and we also° will be my lord’s° bslaves°.” 10 So he said°, “Now° let it also° be according to your words°; he with whom° it is found° shall be my slave°, and [the rest of] you shall be innocent°.” 11 Then they hurried°, each° man° lowered° his sack° to the ground°, and each° man° opened° his sack°. 12 He searched°, beginning° with the oldest° and ending° with the youngest°, and athe cup° was found° in Benjamin’s° sack°. 13 Then they atore° their clothes°, and when each° man° loaded° his donkey°, they returned° to bthe city°. 14 ¶ When Judah° and his brothers° came° to Joseph’s° house°, he was still° there°, and athey fell° to the ground° before° him. 15 Joseph° said° to them, “What° is this° deed° that you have done°? Do you not know° that such° a man° as I can indeed° practice° adivination°?” 16 So Judah° said°, “What° can we say° to my lord°? What° can we speak°? And how° can we justify° ourselves? God° has found° out the iniquity° of your servants°; behold°, we are my lord’s° aslaves°, both° we and the one in whose° Ipossession° the cup° has been found°.” 17 But he said°, “Far° be it from me to do° this°. The man° in whose° Ipossession° the cup° has been found°, he shall be my slave°; but as for you, go° up in peace° to your father°.” 18 ¶ Then Judah° approached° him, and said°, “Oh° my lord°, may your servant° please° speak° a word° in my lord’s° ears°, and Iado not be angry°° with your servant°; for byou are equal to Pharaoh°. 19 aMy lord° asked° his servants°, saying°, ‘Have° you a father° or° a brother°?’ 20 We said° to my lord°, ‘We have° an old° father° and aa little° child° of [his] old° age°.

Joseph's policy to stay his brethren.1 ¶ And he commandedºª² the steward²² of his house,º saying,ºª Fillºª² the men's¹² sacksº [with] food,º as much asº they canºª carry,ºª and putºª every man'sº moneyº in his sack'sº mouth.º 2 And putºª my cup,º the silverº cup,º in the sack'sº mouthº of the youngest,º and his cornº money.º And he didºª according to the wordº that² Josephº had spoken.ºª 3 As soon as the morningº was light,ºª the men¹² were sent away,ºª they² and their asses.º 4 [And] when they² were gone out¹ª of²² the city,º [and] not² [yet] far off,ºª Josephº saidºª unto his steward,º²² Up,ºª followºª afterº the men;¹² and when thou dost overtakeºª them, sayºª unto² them, Wherefore² have ye rewardedºª evilº for² good?º 5 [Is] not² this² [it] in which² my lordº drinketh,ºª and whereby indeed¹ª he divineth?ºª² ye have done evilºª in so² doing.ºª [1] Gn 24:2; 42:25; 43:2, 16, 19; Is 3:1.

Judah's humble supplication to Joseph.14 ¶ And Judahº and his brethrenº cameºª to Joseph'sº house;º for he² [was] yet² there:² and they fellºª before² him¹ on the ground.º 15 And Josephº saidºª unto them, What² deedº [is] this² that² ye have done?ºª wot² ye¹ª not² that² such a manº as I² can certainly¹ª divine?ºª 16 And Judahº said,ºª What² shall we sayºª unto my lord?º what² shall we speak?ºª or how² shall we clear ourselves?ºª Godº hath found outºª² the iniquityº of thy servants:º behold,² we [are] my lord'sº servants,º both² we,² and [he] alsoº with whomºº the cupº is found.ºª 17 And he said,ºª God forbidº that I should doºª² so:º [but] the manº in whose² handº the cupº is found,ºª he² shall be² my servant;º and as for you,² get you upºª in peaceº unto² your father.º [14] Gn 37:7; 43:16, 25; 50:18; Php 2:10.
