01:044:002 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.

01:044:003 As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they
           and their asses.

01:044:004 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?

01:044:005 Is not this it in which my lord drinketh, and whereby indeed
           he divineth? ye have done evil in so doing.

01:044:006 And he overtook them, and he spake unto them these same words.

01:044:007 And they said unto him, Wherefore saith my lord these words? 
           God forbid that thy servants should do according to this
           thing: 

01:044:008 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?

01:044:009 With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, both let him die,
           and we also will be my lord’s bondmen.

01:044:010 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.

01:044:011 Then they speedily took down every man his sack to the ground,
           and opened every man his sack.

01:044:012 And he searched, and began at the eldest, and left at the
           youngest:  and the cup was found in Benjamin’s sack.

01:044:013 Then they rent their clothes, and laded every man his ass, and
           returned to the city.

01:044:014 And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph’s house; for he was
           yet there:  and they fell before him on the ground.

01:044:015 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?

01:044:016 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.

01:044:017 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.

01:044:018 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.
