2Put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack`s mouth of the youngest, with his grain money." He did according to the word that Joseph had spoken.
3As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their donkeys.
4When they had gone out of the city, and were not yet far off, Joseph said to his steward, "Up, follow after the men. When you overtake them, tell them, `Why have you rewarded evil for good?
5Isn`t this that from which my lord drinks, and whereby he indeed divines? You have done evil in so doing.`"
6He overtook them, and he spoke to them these words.
7They 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!
