Genesis 44:22 (KJV) King James Version

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 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?
5 Is not this it in which my lord drinketh, and whereby indeed he divineth? ye have done evil in so doing.
6 And he overtook them, and he spake unto them these same words.
7 And they said unto him, Wherefore saith my lord these words? God forbid that thy servants should do according to this thing:
8 Behold, 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?
9 With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, both let him die, and we also will be my lord's bondmen.
10 And 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.
11 Then they speedily took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack.
12 And he searched, and began at the eldest, and left at the youngest: and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.
13 Then they rent their clothes, and laded every man his ass, and returned to the city.
14 And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph's house; for he was yet there: and they fell before him on the ground.
15 And Joseph said unto them, What deed is this that ye have done? wot ye not that such a man as I can certainly divine?
16 And Judah said, What shall we say unto my lord? what shall we speak? or how shall we clear ourselves? God hath found out the iniquity of thy servants: behold, we are my lord's servants, both we, and he also with whom the cup is found.
17 And he said, God forbid that I should do so: but the man in whose hand the cup is found, he shall be my servant; and as for you, get you up in peace unto your father.
18 Then Judah came near unto him, and said, Oh my lord, let thy servant, I pray thee, speak a word in my lord's ears, and let not thine anger burn against thy servant: for thou art even as Pharaoh.
19 My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother?
20 And we said unto my lord, We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, a little one; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loveth him.
21 And thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, that I may set mine eyes upon him.
22 And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die.
23 And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more.
24 And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.
25 And our father said, Go again, and buy us a little food.
26 And we said, We cannot go down: if our youngest brother be with us, then will we go down: for we may not see the man's face, except our youngest brother be with us.
27 And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my wife bare me two sons:
28 And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces; and I saw him not since:
29 And if ye take this also from me, and mischief befall him, ye shall bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.
30 Now therefore when I come to thy servant my father, and the lad be not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the lad's life;
31 It shall come to pass, when he seeth that the lad is not with us, that he will die: and thy servants shall bring down the gray hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to the grave.
32 For thy servant became surety for the lad unto my father, saying, If I bring him not unto thee, then I shall bear the blame to my father for ever.
33 Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant abide instead of the lad a bondman to my lord; and let the lad go up with his brethren.
34 For how shall I go up to my father, and the lad be not with me? lest peradventure I see the evil that shall come on my father.
1 And he commanded H6680 H853 the steward H834 H5921 of his house, H1004 saying, H559 Fill H4390 H853 the men's H376 sacks H572 with food, H400 as much as H834 they can H3201 carry, H5375 and put H7760 every man's H376 money H3701 in his sack's H572 mouth. H6310
2 And put H7760 my cup, H1375 the silver H3701 cup, H1375 in the sack's H572 mouth H6310 of the youngest, H6996 and his corn H7668 money. H3701 And he did H6213 according to the word H1697 that H834 Joseph H3130 had spoken. H1696
3 As soon as the morning H1242 was light, H215 the men H376 were sent away, H7971 they H1992 and their asses. H2543
4 And when they H1992 were gone out of the city, H5892 and not H3808 yet far off, H7368 Joseph H3130 said H559 unto his steward H834 H5921, H1004 Up, H6965 follow H7291 after H310 the men; H376 and when thou dost overtake H5381 them, say H559 unto H413 them, Wherefore H4100 have ye rewarded H7999 evil H7451 for H8478 good H2896 ?
5 Is not H3808 this H2088 it in which H834 my lord H113 drinketh, H8354 and whereby indeed he divineth H1931 H5172 H5172 ? ye have done evil H7489 in so H834 doing. H6213
6 And he overtook H5381 them , and he spoke H1696 unto H413 them H853 these same H428 words. H1697
7 And they said H559 unto H413 him, Wherefore H4100 saith H1696 my lord H113 these H428 words H1697 ? God forbid H2486 that thy servants H5650 should do H4480 H6213 according to this H2088 thing: H1697
8 Behold H2005 , the money, H3701 which H834 we found H4672 in our sacks' H572 mouths, H6310 we brought again H7725 unto H413 thee out of the land H4480 H776 of Canaan: H3667 how H349 then should we steal H1589 out of thy lord's house H4480 H1004 H113 silver H3701 or H176 gold H2091 ?
9 With H854 whomsoever H834 of thy servants H4480 H5650 it be found, H4672 both let him die, H4191 and we H587 also H1571 will be H1961 my lord's H113 bondmen. H5650
10 And he said, H559 Now H6258 also H1571 H3651 let it H1931 be according unto your words: H1697 he with H854 whom H834 it is found H4672 shall be H1961 my servant; H5650 and ye H859 shall be H1961 blameless. H5355
11 Then they speedily H4116 took down H3381 every man H376 H853 his sack H572 to the ground, H776 and opened H6605 every man H376 his sack. H572
12 And he searched, H2664 and began H2490 at the eldest, H1419 and left H3615 at the youngest: H6996 and the cup H1375 was found H4672 in Benjamin's H1144 sack. H572
13 Then they rent H7167 their clothes, H8071 and laded H6006 every man H376 his ass, H2543 and returned H7725 to the city. H5892
14 And Judah H3063 and his brethren H251 came H935 to Joseph's H3130 house; H1004 for he H1931 was yet H5750 there: H8033 and they fell H5307 before H6440 him on the ground. H776
15 And Joseph H3130 said H559 unto them, What H4100 deed H4639 is this H2088 that H834 ye have done H6213 ? know H3045 ye not H3808 that H3588 such a man H376 as I H3644 can certainly divine H5172 H5172 ?
16 And Judah H3063 said, H559 What H4100 shall we say H559 unto my lord H113 ? what H4100 shall we speak H1696 ? or how H4100 shall we clear ourselves H6663 ? God H430 hath found out H4672 H853 the iniquity H5771 of thy servants: H5650 behold, H2009 we are my lord's H113 servants, H5650 both H1571 we, H587 and he also H1571 with whom H834 H3027 the cup H1375 is found. H4672
17 And he said, H559 God forbid H2486 that I should do H4480 H6213 so: H2063 but the man H376 in whose H834 hand H3027 the cup H1375 is found, H4672 he H1931 shall be H1961 my servant; H5650 and as for you, H859 get you up H5927 in peace H7965 unto H413 your father. H1
18 Then Judah H3063 came near H5066 unto him, H413 and said, H559 Oh H994 my lord, H113 let thy servant, H5650 I pray thee, H4994 speak H1696 a word H1697 in my lord's H113 ears, H241 and let not H408 thine anger H639 burn H2734 against thy servant: H5650 for H3588 thou art even as H3644 Pharaoh. H6547
19 My lord H113 asked H7592 H853 his servants, H5650 saying, H559 Have H3426 ye a father, H1 or H176 a brother H251 ?
20 And we said H559 unto H413 my lord, H113 We have H3426 a father, H1 an old man, H2205 and a child H3206 of his old age, H2208 a little one; H6996 and his brother H251 is dead, H4191 and he H1931 alone H905 is left H3498 of his mother, H517 and his father H1 loveth H157 him.
21 And thou saidst H559 unto H413 thy servants, H5650 Bring him down H3381 unto H413 me , that I may set H7760 mine eyes H5869 upon H5921 him.
22 And we said H559 unto H413 my lord, H113 The lad H5288 cannot H3808 H3201 leave H5800 H853 his father: H1 for if he should leave H5800 H853 his father, H1 his father would die. H4191
23 And thou saidst H559 unto H413 thy servants, H5650 Except H518 H3808 your youngest H6996 brother H251 come down H3381 with H854 you , ye shall see H7200 my face H6440 no H3808 more. H3254
24 And it came to pass H1961 when H3588 we came up H5927 unto H413 thy servant H5650 my father, H1 we told H5046 him H853 the words H1697 of my lord. H113
25 And our father H1 said, H559 Go again, H7725 and buy H7666 us a little H4592 food. H400
26 And we said, H559 We cannot H3808 H3201 go down: H3381 if H518 our youngest H6996 brother H251 be H3426 with H854 us , then will we go down: H3381 for H3588 we may H3201 not H3808 see H7200 the man's H376 face, H6440 except H369 our youngest H6996 brother H251 be with H854 us.
27 And thy servant H5650 my father H1 said H559 unto H413 us, Ye H859 know H3045 that H3588 my wife H802 bore H3205 me two H8147 sons :
28 And the one H259 went out H3318 from H4480 H854 me , and I said, H559 Surely H389 he is torn in pieces H2963 H2963 ; and I saw H7200 him not H3808 since H5704 H2008 :
29 And if ye take H3947 H853 this H2088 also H1571 from H4480 H5973 me, H6440 and mischief H611 befall H7136 him , ye shall bring down H3381 H853 my gray hairs H7872 with sorrow H7451 to the grave. H7585
30 Now H6258 therefore when I come H935 to H413 thy servant H5650 my father, H1 and the lad H5288 be not H369 with H854 us ; seeing that his life H5315 is bound up H7194 in the lad's life; H5315
31 It shall come to pass, H1961 when he seeth H7200 that H3588 the lad H5288 is not H369 with us , that he will die: H4191 and thy servants H5650 shall bring down H3381 H853 the gray hairs H7872 of thy servant H5650 our father H1 with sorrow H3015 to the grave. H7585
32 For H3588 thy servant H5650 became surety H6148 for H853 the lad H5288 unto H4480 H5973 my father, H1 saying, H559 If H518 I bring H935 him not H3808 unto H413 thee , then I shall bear the blame H2398 to my father H1 forever H3605 H3117 .
33 Now H6258 therefore , I pray thee, H4994 let thy servant H5650 abide H3427 instead of H8478 the lad H5288 a bondman H5650 to my lord; H113 and let the lad H5288 go up H5927 with H5973 his brethren. H251
34 For H3588 how H349 shall I go up H5927 to H413 my father, H1 and the lad H5288 be not H369 with H854 me? lest peradventure H6435 I see H7200 the evil H7451 that H834 shall come on H4672 H853 my father. H1
