| 1 | 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. | Gn 24:2 Gn 43:16 Gn 43:19 |
| 2 | Put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack`s mouth of the youngest, with his grain money." He did according to the word that Joseph had spoken. | Gn 42:15 Gn 42:16 Gn 42:20 Gn 43:32 Dt 8:2 Dt 8:16 Dt 13:3 Mt 10:16 2Co 8:8 |
| 3 | As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their donkeys. |
| 4 | When they had gone out of the city, and were not yet far off, Joseph said to his steward, "Up, follow after the men. When you overtake them, tell them, `Why have you rewarded evil for good? | Dt 2:16 |
| 5 | Isn`t this that from which my lord drinks, and whereby he indeed divines? You have done evil in so doing.`" | Gn 44:15 Gn 30:27 Lv 19:26 1Ki 20:33 2Ki 21:6 |
| 6 | He overtook them, and he spoke to them these words. |
| 7 | They said to him, "Why does my lord speak such words as these? Far be it from your servants that they should do such a thing! | Gn 34:25-31 Gn 35:22 Gn 37:18-32 Gn 38:16-18 Jsh 22:22-29 2Sa 20:20 2Ki 8:13 Pr 22:1 Ec 7:1 Heb 13:18 |
| 8 | Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks` mouths, we brought again to you out of the land of Canaan. How then should we steal silver or gold out of your lord`s house? | Gn 42:21 Gn 42:27 Gn 42:35 Gn 43:12 Gn 43:21 Gn 43:22 |
| 9 | With whoever of your servants it be found, let him die, and we also will be my lord`s bondservants." | Gn 31:32 Jb 31:38-40 Ps 7:3-5 Ac 25:11 |
| 10 | He said, "Now also let it be according to your words: he with whom it is found will be my bondservant; and you will be blameless." | Gn 44:17 Gn 44:33 Ex 22:3 Mt 18:24 Mt 18:25 |
| 11 | Then they hurried, and took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack. |
| 12 | He searched, beginning with the eldest, and ending at the youngest. The cup was found in Benjamin`s sack. | Gn 43:33 |
| 13 | Then they tore their clothes, and loaded every man his donkey, and returned to the city. | Gn 37:29-34 Nm 14:6 2Sa 1:2 2Sa 1:11 2Sa 13:19 |
| 14 | Judah and his brothers came to Joseph`s house, and he was still there. They fell on the ground before him. | Gn 43:16 Gn 43:25 |
| 15 | Joseph said to them, "What deed is this that you have done? Don`t you know that such a man as I can indeed divine?" | Gn 44:4 Gn 44:5 Gn 3:13 Gn 4:10 |
| 16 | Judah said, "What will we tell my lord? What will we speak? Or how will we clear ourselves? God has found out the iniquity of your servants. Behold, we are my lord`s bondservants, both we, and he also in whose hand the cup is found." | Gn 44:32 Gn 43:8 Gn 43:9 |
| 17 | He said, "Far be it from me that I should do so. The man in whose hand the cup is found, he will be my bondservant; but as for you, go up in peace to your father." | Gn 18:25 Gn 42:18 2Sa 23:3 Ps 75:2 Pr 17:15 |
| 18 | Then Judah came near to him, and said, "Oh, my lord, please let your servant speak a word in my lord`s ears, and don`t let your anger burn against your servant; for you are even as Pharaoh. | Gn 18:30 Gn 18:32 2Sa 14:12 Jb 33:31 Ac 2:29 |
| 19 | My lord asked his servants, saying, `Have you a father, or a brother?` | Gn 42:7-10 Gn 43:7 Gn 43:29 |
| 20 | We said to 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 loves him.` | Gn 49:8 |
| 21 | You said to your servants, `Bring him down to me, that I may set my eyes on him.` | Gn 42:15 Gn 42:20 Gn 43:29 |
| 22 | We said to my lord, `The boy can`t leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die.` | Gn 44:30 Gn 42:38 |
| 23 | You said to your servants, `Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, you will see my face no more.` | Gn 42:15-20 Gn 43:3 Gn 43:5 |
| 24 | It happened when we came up to your servant my father, we told him the words of my lord. | Gn 42:29-34 |
| 25 | Our father said, `Go again, buy us a little food.` | Gn 43:2 Gn 43:5 |
| 26 | We said, `We can`t go down. If our youngest brother is with us, then will we go down: for we may not see the man`s face, unless our youngest brother is with us.` | Gn 43:4 Gn 43:5 Lk 11:7 |
| 27 | Your servant, my father, said to us, `You know that my wife bore me two sons: | Gn 29:18-21 Gn 29:28-21 Gn 30:22-25 Gn 35:16-18 Gn 46:19 |
| 28 | and the one went out from me, and I said, "Surely he is torn in pieces;" and I haven`t seen him since. | Gn 37:13 Gn 37:14 |
| 29 | If you take this one also from me, and harm befalls him, you will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol.` | Gn 42:36 Gn 42:38 Gn 43:14 Ps 88:3 Ps 88:4 |
| 30 | Now therefore when I come to your servant my father, and the boy is not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the boy`s life; | Gn 44:17 Gn 44:31 Gn 44:34 1Sa 18:1 1Sa 25:29 2Sa 18:33 |
| 31 | it will happen, when he sees that the boy is no more, that he will die. Your servants will bring down the gray hairs of your servant, our father, with sorrow to Sheol. | 1Sa 4:17 1Sa 4:18 2Co 7:10 1Th 4:13 |
| 32 | For your servant became collateral for the boy to my father, saying, `If I don`t bring him to you, then I will bear the blame to my father forever.` | Gn 43:8 Gn 43:9 Gn 43:16 |
| 33 | Now therefore, please let your servant stay instead of the boy, a bondservant to my lord; and let the boy go up with his brothers. | Ex 32:32 Ro 5:7-10 Ro 9:3 |
| 34 | For how will I go up to my father, if the boy isn`t with me? Lest I see the evil that will come on my father." | 1Sa 2:33 1Sa 2:34 2Ch 34:28 Es 8:6 Jer 52:10 Jer 52:11 |
