Genesis (Author Moses)

43:18And the men were afraid because they were brought into Joseph's house, and said, Because of the money that was returned to us in our sacks at the beginning are we brought in, that he may turn against us, and fall upon us and take us for bondmen, and our asses.

43:21And it came to pass when we came to the inn, that we opened our sacks, and behold, every man's money was in the mouth of his sack, our money according to its weight; and we have brought it again in our hand.

43:22And other money have we brought down in our hand to buy food. We do not know who put our money in our sacks.

43:23And he said, Peace be to you, fear not: your God, and the God of your father, has given you treasure in your sacks; your money came to me. And he brought Simeon out to them.

44:1And he commanded him who was over his house, saying, Fill the men's sacks with food, as much as they can carry; and put every man's money in the mouth of his sack.

44:2And put my cup, the silver cup, in the mouth of the sack of the youngest, and his grain-money. And he did according to the word of Joseph which he had spoken.

44:8Behold, the money that we found in our sacks' mouths we have brought again to thee from the land of Canaan; and how should we steal out of thy lord's house silver or gold?

44:11And they hasted and laid down every man his sack on the ground, and opened every man his sack.

44:12And he searched carefully: he began at the eldest, and ended at the youngest; and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.

44:13Then they rent their clothes, and loaded every man his ass, and they returned to the city.

44:14And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph's house; and he was still there; and they fell down before him to the ground.

44:15And Joseph said to them, What deed is this which ye have done? Did ye not know that such a man as I can certainly divine?

44:16And Judah said, What shall we say to my lord? what shall we speak, and how justify ourselves? God has found out the iniquity of thy servants; behold, we are my lord's bondmen, both we, and he in whose hand the cup has been found.

44:17And he said, Far be it from me to do so! The man in whose hand the cup has been found, he shall be my bondman; but as for you, go up in peace to your father.

44:18Then Judah came near to him, and said, Ah! 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.

44:19My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother?

44:20And we said to my lord, We have an aged father, and a child born to him in his old age, yet young; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother; and his father loves him.

44:21And thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down to me, that I may set mine eye on him.

44:22And we said to my lord, The youth cannot leave his father: if he should leave his father, his father would die.

44:23And thou saidst to thy servants, Unless your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more.
