3. In the morning, when it was light, the men were sent away, they and their asses.
4. They were gone out of the city, and not yet far off, when Joseph said to him who was over his house, Up! follow after the men; and when thou overtakest them, thou shalt say to them, Why have ye rewarded evil for good?
5. Is not this it in which my lord drinks, and in which indeed he divines? Ye have done evil in what ye have done.
