rsv Genesis:44:4-12
rsv@Genesis:44:4 @ When they had gone but a short distance from the city, Joseph said to his steward, "Up, follow after the men; and when you overtake them, say to them, `Why have you returned evil for good? Why have you stolen my silver cup?
rsv@Genesis:44:5 @ Is it not from this that my lord drinks, and by this that he divines? You have done wrong in so doing.'"
rsv@Genesis:44:6 @ When he overtook them, he spoke to them these words.
rsv@Genesis:44:7 @ 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!
rsv@Genesis:44:8 @ Behold, the money which we found in the mouth of our sacks, we brought back to you from the land of Canaan; how then should we steal silver or gold from your lord's house?
rsv@Genesis:44:9 @ With whomever of your servants it be found, let him die, and we also will be my lord's slaves."
rsv@Genesis:44:10 @ He said, "Let it be as you say: he with whom it is found shall be my slave, and the rest of you shall be blameless."
rsv@Genesis:44:11 @ Then every man quickly lowered his sack to the ground, and every man opened his sack.
rsv@Genesis:44:12 @ And he searched, beginning with the eldest and ending with the youngest; and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.
