Genesis 44:1-34

44:1

And he commanded
<06680> (8762)

the steward of his house
<01004>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Fill
<04390> (8761)

the men's
<0582>

sacks
<0572>

[with] food
<0400>_,

as much as
<0834>

they can
<03201> (8799)

carry
<05375> (8800)_,

and put
<07760> (8798)

every man's
<0376>

money
<03701>

in his sack's
<0572>

mouth
<06310>_.

{the steward...: Heb. him that was over his house}

44:2

And put
<07760> (8799)

my cup
<01375>_,

the silver
<03701>

cup
<01375>_,

in the sack's
<0572>

mouth
<06310>

of the youngest
<06996>_,

and his corn
<07668>

money
<03701>_.

And he did
<06213> (8799)

according to the word
<01697>

that Joseph
<03130>

had spoken
<01696> (8765)_.

44:3

As soon as the morning
<01242>

was light
<0215> (8804)_,

the men
<0582>

were sent away
<07971> (8795)_,

they and their asses
<02543>_.

44:4

[And] when they were gone out
<03318> (8804)

of the city
<05892>_,

[and] not [yet] far off
<07368> (8689)_,

Joseph
<03130>

said
<0559> (8804)

unto his steward
<01004>_,

Up
<06965> (8798)_,

follow
<07291> (8798)

after
<0310>

the men
<0582>_;

and when thou dost overtake
<05381> (8689)

them, say
<0559> (8804)

unto them, Wherefore have ye rewarded
<07999> (8765)

evil
<07451>

for good
<02896>_?

44:5

[Is] not this [it] in which my lord
<0113>

drinketh
<08354> (8799)_,

and whereby indeed
<05172> (8763)

he divineth
<05172> (8762)_?

ye have done evil
<07489> (8689)

in so doing
<06213> (8804)_.

{divineth: or, maketh trial?}

44:6

And he overtook
<05381> (8686)

them, and he spake
<01696> (8762)

unto them these same
<0428>

words
<01697>_.

44:7

And they said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Wherefore saith
<01696> (8762)

my lord
<0113>

these words
<01697>_?

God forbid
<02486>

that thy servants
<05650>

should do
<06213> (8800)

according to this thing
<01697>_:

44:8

Behold, the money
<03701>_,

which we found
<04672> (8804)

in our sacks
<0572>_'

mouths
<06310>_,

we brought again
<07725> (8689)

unto thee out of the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>_:

how then should we steal
<01589> (8799)

out of thy lord's
<0113>

house
<01004>

silver
<03701>

or gold
<02091>_?

44:9

With whomsoever of thy servants
<05650>

it be found
<04672> (8735)_,

both let him die
<04191> (8804)_,

and we also will be my lord's
<0113>

bondmen
<05650>_.

44:10

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Now also [let] it [be] according unto your words
<01697>_:

<03651>

he with whom it is found
<04672> (8735)

shall be my servant
<05650>_;

and ye shall be blameless
<05355>_.

44:11

Then they speedily
<04116> (8762)

took down
<03381> (8686)

every man
<0376>

his sack
<0572>

to the ground
<0776>_,

and opened
<06605> (8799)

every man
<0376>

his sack
<0572>_.

44:12

And he searched
<02664> (8762)_,

[and] began
<02490> (8689)

at the eldest
<01419>_,

and left
<03615> (8765)

at the youngest
<06996>_:

and the cup
<01375>

was found
<04672> (8735)

in Benjamin's
<01144>

sack
<0572>_.

44:13

Then they rent
<07167> (8799)

their clothes
<08071>_,

and laded
<06006> (8799)

every man
<0376>

his ass
<02543>_,

and returned
<07725> (8799)

to the city
<05892>_.

44:14

And Judah
<03063>

and his brethren
<0251>

came
<0935> (8799)

to Joseph's
<03130>

house
<01004>_;

for he [was] yet there: and they fell
<05307> (8799)

before him
<06440>

on the ground
<0776>_.

44:15

And Joseph
<03130>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, What deed
<04639>

[is] this that ye have done
<06213> (8804)_?

wot ye
<03045> (8804)

not that such a man
<0376>

as I can certainly
<05172> (8763)

divine
<05172> (8762)_?

{divine: or, make trial?}

44:16

And Judah
<03063>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

What shall we say
<0559> (8799)

unto my lord
<0113>_?

what shall we speak
<01696> (8762)_?

or how shall we clear ourselves
<06663> (8691)_?

God
<0430>

hath found out
<04672> (8804)

the iniquity
<05771>

of thy servants
<05650>_:

behold, we [are] my lord's
<0113>

servants
<05650>_,

both we, and [he] also
<01571>

with whom
<0834> <03027>

the cup
<01375>

is found
<04672> (8738)_.

44:17

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

God forbid
<02486>

that I should do
<06213> (8800)

so
<02063>_:

[but] the man
<0376>

in whose hand
<03027>

the cup
<01375>

is found
<04672> (8738)_,

he shall be my servant
<05650>_;

and as for you, get you up
<05927> (8798)

in peace
<07965>

unto your father
<01>_.

44:18

Then Judah
<03063>

came near
<05066> (8799)

unto him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Oh
<0994>

my lord
<0113>_,

let thy servant
<05650>_,

I pray thee, speak
<01696> (8762)

a word
<01697>

in my lord's
<0113>

ears
<0241>_,

and let not thine anger
<0639>

burn
<02734> (8799)

against thy servant
<05650>_:

for thou [art] even as Pharaoh
<06547>_.

44:19

My lord
<0113>

asked
<07592> (8804)

his servants
<05650>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Have
<03426>

ye a father
<01>_,

or a brother
<0251>_?

44:20

And we said
<0559> (8799)

unto my lord
<0113>_,

We have
<03426>

a father
<01>_,

an old man
<02205>_,

and a child
<03206>

of his old age
<02208>_,

a little one
<06996>_;

and his brother
<0251>

is dead
<04191> (8804)_,

and he alone is left
<03498> (8735)

of his mother
<0517>_,

and his father
<01>

loveth
<0157> (8804)

him.

44:21

And thou saidst
<0559> (8799)

unto thy servants
<05650>_,

Bring him down
<03381> (8685)

unto me, that I may set
<07760> (8799)

mine eyes
<05869>

upon him.

44:22

And we said
<0559> (8799)

unto my lord
<0113>_,

The lad
<05288>

cannot
<03201> (8799)

leave
<05800> (8800)

his father
<01>_:

for [if] he should leave
<05800> (8804)

his father
<01>_,

[his father] would die
<04191> (8804)_.

44:23

And thou saidst
<0559> (8799)

unto thy servants
<05650>_,

Except
<03808>

your youngest
<06996>

brother
<0251>

come down
<03381> (8799)

with you, ye shall see
<07200> (0) <03254> (0)

my face
<06440>

no more
<07200> (8800) <03254> (8686)_.

44:24

And it came to pass when we came up
<05927> (8804)

unto thy servant
<05650>

my father
<01>_,

we told
<05046> (8686)

him the words
<01697>

of my lord
<0113>_.

44:25

And our father
<01>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Go again
<07725> (8798)_,

[and] buy
<07666> (8798)

us a little
<04592>

food
<0400>_.

44:26

And we said
<0559> (8799)_,

We cannot
<03201> (8799)

go down
<03381> (8800)_:

if our youngest
<06996>

brother
<0251>

be
<03426>

with us, then will we go down
<03381> (8804)_:

for we may
<03201> (8799)

not see
<07200> (8800)

the man's
<0376>

face
<06440>_,

except
<0369>

our youngest
<06996>

brother
<0251>

[be] with us.

44:27

And thy servant
<05650>

my father
<01>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto us, Ye know
<03045> (8804)

that my wife
<0802>

bare
<03205> (8804)

me two
<08147>

[sons]:

44:28

And the one
<0259>

went out
<03318> (8799)

from me, and I said
<0559> (8799)_,

Surely
<02963> (8800)

he is torn in pieces
<02963> (8776)_;

and I saw him
<07200> (8804)

not since
<02008>_:

44:29

And if ye take
<03947> (8804)

this also from
<05973>

me
<06440>_,

and mischief
<0611>

befall him
<07136> (8804)_,

ye shall bring down
<03381> (8689)

my gray hairs
<07872>

with sorrow
<07451>

to the grave
<07585>_.

44:30

Now therefore when I come
<0935> (8800)

to thy servant
<05650>

my father
<01>_,

and the lad
<05288>

[be] not with us; seeing that his life
<05315>

is bound up
<07194> (8803)

in the lad's life
<05315>_;

44:31

It shall come to pass, when he seeth
<07200> (8800)

that the lad
<05288>

[is] not [with us], that he will die
<04191> (8804)_:

and thy servants
<05650>

shall bring down
<03381> (8689)

the gray hairs
<07872>

of thy servant
<05650>

our father
<01>

with sorrow
<03015>

to the grave
<07585>_.

44:32

For thy servant
<05650>

became surety
<06148> (8804)

for the lad
<05288>

unto
<05973>

my father
<01>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

If I bring
<0935> (8686)

him not unto thee, then I shall bear the blame
<02398> (8804)

to my father
<01>

for ever
<03117>_.

44:33

Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant
<05650>

abide
<03427> (8799)

instead of the lad
<05288>

a bondman
<05650>

to my lord
<0113>_;

and let the lad
<05288>

go up
<05927> (8799)

with his brethren
<0251>_.

44:34

For how
<0349>

shall I go up
<05927> (8799)

to my father
<01>_,

and the lad
<05288>

[be] not with me? lest peradventure I see
<07200> (8799)

the evil
<07451>

that shall come on
<04672> (8799)

my father
<01>_.

{come...: Heb. find my father}
