Genesis 44:1-5 New English Translation (NET)

1. He instructed the servant who was over his household, “Fill the sacks of the men with as much food as they can carry and put each man’s money in the mouth of his sack.

2. Then put my cup – the silver cup – in the mouth of the youngest one’s sack, along with the money for his grain.” He did as Joseph instructed.

3. When morning came, the men and their donkeys were sent off.

4. They had not gone very far from the city when Joseph said to the servant who was over his household, “Pursue the men at once! When you overtake them, say to them, ‘Why have you repaid good with evil?

5. Doesn’t my master drink from this cup and use it for divination? You have done wrong!’”
