1. And Joseph commanded the steward of his house, saying: Fill their sacks with corn, as much as they can hold: and put the money of every one in the top of his sack.
2. And in the mouth of the younger's sack put my silver cup, and the price which he gave for the wheat. And it was so done.
3. And when the morning arose, they were sent away with their asses.
4. And when they were now departed out of the city, and had gone forward a little way; Joseph sendingfor the steward of his house, said: Arise, and pursue after the men: and when thou hast overtaken them, say to them: Why have you returned evil for good?
5. The cup which you have stolen is that in which my lord drinketh, and in which he is wont to divine: you have done a very evil thing.
