3And at dawn the men, with their asses, were sent away.
4And when they had gone only a little way out of the town, Joseph said to the servant who was over his house, Go after them; and when you overtake them, say to them, Why have you done evil in reward for good?
5Is not this the cup from which my lord takes wine and by which he gets knowledge of the future? Truly, you have done evil.
6So he overtook them and said these words to them.
7And they said to him, Why does my lord say such words as these? far be it from your servants to do such a thing:
8See, the money which was in the mouth of our bags we gave back to you when we came again from Canaan: how then might we take silver or gold from your lord's house?
9If it comes to light that any of your servants has done this, let him be put to death, and we will be your lord's servants.
