Genesis 44:4-12

Geneva(i) 4 And when they went out of the citie not farre off, Ioseph sayd to his stewarde, Vp, follow after the men: and when thou doest ouertake them, say vnto them, Wherefore haue ye rewarded euill for good? 5 Is that not the cuppe, wherein my Lord drinketh? and in the which he doeth deuine and prophecie? ye haue done euill in so doing. 6 And when he ouertooke them, he sayde those wordes vnto them. 7 And they answered him, Wherefore sayeth my lorde such wordes? God forbid that thy seruants should do such a thing. 8 Behold, the money which we found in our sackes mouthes, wee brought againe to thee out of the land of Canaan: how then should we steale out of thy lordes house siluer or golde? 9 With whomesoeuer of thy seruants it bee found, let him dye, and we also will be my lordes bondmen. 10 And he said, Now then let it be according vnto your wordes: he with whome it is found, shall be my seruant, and ye shalbe blamelesse. 11 Then at once euery man tooke downe his sacke to the grounde, and euery one opened his sacke. 12 And he searched, and began at the eldest and left at the yongest: and the cuppe was found in Beniamins sacke.
