Genesis 44 (kjv)

44

And he commandedH6680 the steward of his houseH1004, sayingH559, FillH4390 the men'sH582 sacksH572 with foodH400, as much asH834 they canH3201 carryH5375, and putH7760 every man'sH376 moneyH3701 in his sack'sH572 mouthH6310.2And putH7760 my cupH1375, the silverH3701 cupH1375, in the sack'sH572 mouthH6310 of the youngestH6996, and his cornH7668 moneyH3701. And he didH6213 according to the wordH1697 that JosephH3130 had spokenH1696.3As soon as the morningH1242 was lightH215, the menH582 were sent awayH7971, they and their assesH2543.4And when they were gone outH3318 of the cityH5892, and not yet far offH7368, JosephH3130 saidH559 unto his stewardH1004, UpH6965, followH7291 afterH310 the menH582; and when thou dost overtakeH5381 them, sayH559 unto them, Wherefore have ye rewardedH7999 evilH7451 for goodH2896?5Is not this it in which my lordH113 drinkethH8354, and whereby indeedH5172 he divinethH5172? ye have done evilH7489 in so doingH6213.

6And he overtookH5381 them, and he spakeH1696 unto them these sameH428 wordsH1697.7And they saidH559 unto him, Wherefore saithH1696 my lordH113 these wordsH1697? God forbidH2486 that thy servantsH5650 should doH6213 according to this thingH1697:8Behold, the moneyH3701, which we foundH4672 in our sacksH572' mouthsH6310, we brought againH7725 unto thee out of the landH776 of CanaanH3667: how then should we stealH1589 out of thy lord'sH113 houseH1004 silverH3701 or goldH2091?9With whomsoever of thy servantsH5650 it be foundH4672, both let him dieH4191, and we also will be my lord'sH113 bondmenH5650.10And he saidH559, Now also let it be according unto your wordsH1697:H3651 he with whom it is foundH4672 shall be my servantH5650; and ye shall be blamelessH5355.11Then they speedilyH4116 took downH3381 every manH376 his sackH572 to the groundH776, and openedH6605 every manH376 his sackH572.12And he searchedH2664, and beganH2490 at the eldestH1419, and leftH3615 at the youngestH6996: and the cupH1375 was foundH4672 in Benjamin'sH1144 sackH572.13Then they rentH7167 their clothesH8071, and ladedH6006 every manH376 his assH2543, and returnedH7725 to the cityH5892.

14And JudahH3063 and his brethrenH251 cameH935 to Joseph'sH3130 houseH1004; for he was yet there: and they fellH5307 before himH6440 on the groundH776.15And JosephH3130 saidH559 unto them, What deedH4639 is this that ye have doneH6213? wot yeH3045 not that such a manH376 as I can certainlyH5172 divineH5172?16And JudahH3063 saidH559, What shall we sayH559 unto my lordH113? what shall we speakH1696? or how shall we clear ourselvesH6663? GodH430 hath found outH4672 the iniquityH5771 of thy servantsH5650: behold, we are my lord'sH113 servantsH5650, both we, and he alsoH1571 with whomH834 H3027 the cupH1375 is foundH4672.17And he saidH559, God forbidH2486 that I should doH6213 soH2063: but the manH376 in whose handH3027 the cupH1375 is foundH4672, he shall be my servantH5650; and as for you, get you upH5927 in peaceH7965 unto your fatherH1.

18Then JudahH3063 came nearH5066 unto him, and saidH559, OhH994 my lordH113, let thy servantH5650, I pray thee, speakH1696 a wordH1697 in my lord'sH113 earsH241, and let not thine angerH639 burnH2734 against thy servantH5650: for thou art even as PharaohH6547.19My lordH113 askedH7592 his servantsH5650, sayingH559, HaveH3426 ye a fatherH1, or a brotherH251?20And we saidH559 unto my lordH113, We haveH3426 a fatherH1, an old manH2205, and a childH3206 of his old ageH2208, a little oneH6996; and his brotherH251 is deadH4191, and he alone is leftH3498 of his motherH517, and his fatherH1 lovethH157 him.21And thou saidstH559 unto thy servantsH5650, Bring him downH3381 unto me, that I may setH7760 mine eyesH5869 upon him.22And we saidH559 unto my lordH113, The ladH5288 cannotH3201 leaveH5800 his fatherH1: for if he should leaveH5800 his fatherH1, his father would dieH4191.23And thou saidstH559 unto thy servantsH5650, ExceptH3808 your youngestH6996 brotherH251 come downH3381 with you, ye shall seeH7200 H3254 my faceH6440 no moreH7200 H3254.24And it came to pass when we came upH5927 unto thy servantH5650 my fatherH1, we toldH5046 him the wordsH1697 of my lordH113.25And our fatherH1 saidH559, Go againH7725, and buyH7666 us a littleH4592 foodH400.26And we saidH559, We cannotH3201 go downH3381: if our youngestH6996 brotherH251 beH3426 with us, then will we go downH3381: for we mayH3201 not seeH7200 the man'sH376 faceH6440, exceptH369 our youngestH6996 brotherH251 be with us.27And thy servantH5650 my fatherH1 saidH559 unto us, Ye knowH3045 that my wifeH802 bareH3205 me twoH8147 sons:28And the oneH259 went outH3318 from me, and I saidH559, SurelyH2963 he is torn in piecesH2963; and I saw himH7200 not sinceH2008:29And if ye takeH3947 this also fromH5973 meH6440, and mischiefH611 befall himH7136, ye shall bring downH3381 my gray hairsH7872 with sorrowH7451 to the graveH7585.30Now therefore when I comeH935 to thy servantH5650 my fatherH1, and the ladH5288 be not with us; seeing that his lifeH5315 is bound upH7194 in the lad's lifeH5315;31It shall come to pass, when he seethH7200 that the ladH5288 is not with us, that he will dieH4191: and thy servantsH5650 shall bring downH3381 the gray hairsH7872 of thy servantH5650 our fatherH1 with sorrowH3015 to the graveH7585.32For thy servantH5650 became suretyH6148 for the ladH5288 untoH5973 my fatherH1, sayingH559, If I bringH935 him not unto thee, then I shall bear the blameH2398 to my fatherH1 for everH3117.33Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servantH5650 abideH3427 instead of the ladH5288 a bondmanH5650 to my lordH113; and let the ladH5288 go upH5927 with his brethrenH251.34For howH349 shall I go upH5927 to my fatherH1, and the ladH5288 be not with me? lest peradventure I seeH7200 the evilH7451 that shall come onH4672 my fatherH1.
