Joseph and Potipharâs Wife:
   â˘Â Joseph and Potipharâs Wife | Genesis ... Â
Genesis 44
A Silver Cup in a Sack
44 Now Joseph gave these instructions to the steward of his house: âFill the menâs sacks with as much food as they can carry, and put each manâs silver in the mouth of his sack. 2 Then put my cup, the silver one, in the mouth of the youngest oneâs sack, along with the silver for his grain.â And he did as Joseph said.
3 As morning dawned, the men were sent on their way with their donkeys. 4 They had not gone far from the city when Joseph said to his steward, âGo after those men at once, and when you catch up with them, say to them, âWhy have you repaid good with evil? 5 Isnât this the cup my master drinks from and also uses for divination? This is a wicked thing you have done.ââ
6 When he caught up with them, he repeated these words to them. 7 But they said to him, âWhy does my lord say such things? Far be it from your servants to do anything like that! 8 We even brought back to you from the land of Canaan the silver we found inside the mouths of our sacks. So why would we steal silver or gold from your masterâs house? 9 If any of your servants is found to have it, he will die; and the rest of us will become my lordâs slaves.â
10 âVery well, then,â he said, âlet it be as you say. Whoever is found to have it will become my slave; the rest of you will be free from blame.â
11 Each of them quickly lowered his sack to the ground and opened it. 12 Then the steward proceeded to search, beginning with the oldest and ending with the youngest. And the cup was found in Benjaminâs sack. 13 At this, they tore their clothes. Then they all loaded their donkeys and returned to the city.
14 Joseph was still in the house when Judah and his brothers came in, and they threw themselves to the ground before him. 15 Joseph said to them, âWhat is this you have done? Donât you know that a man like me can find things out by divination?â
16 âWhat can we say to my lord?â Judah replied. âWhat can we say? How can we prove our innocence? God has uncovered your servantsâ guilt. We are now my lordâs slavesâwe ourselves and the one who was found to have the cup.â
17 But Joseph said, âFar be it from me to do such a thing! Only the man who was found to have the cup will become my slave. The rest of you, go back to your father in peace.â
18 Then Judah went up to him and said: âPardon your servant, my lord, let me speak a word to my lord. Do not be angry with your servant, though you are equal to Pharaoh himself. 19 My lord asked his servants, âDo you have a father or a brother?â 20 And we answered, âWe have an aged father, and there is a young son born to him in his old age. His brother is dead, and he is the only one of his motherâs sons left, and his father loves him.â
21 âThen you said to your servants, âBring him down to me so I can see him for myself.â 22 And we said to my lord, âThe boy cannot leave his father; if he leaves him, his father will die.â 23 But you told your servants, âUnless your youngest brother comes down with you, you will not see my face again.â 24 When we went back to your servant my father, we told him what my lord had said.
25 âThen our father said, âGo back and buy a little more food.â 26 But we said, âWe cannot go down. Only if our youngest brother is with us will we go. We cannot see the manâs face unless our youngest brother is with us.â
27 âYour servant my father said to us, âYou know that my wife bore me two sons. 28 One of them went away from me, and I said, âHe has surely been torn to pieces.â And I have not seen him since. 29 If you take this one from me too and harm comes to him, you will bring my gray head down to the grave in misery.â
30 âSo now, if the boy is not with us when I go back to your servant my father, and if my father, whose life is closely bound up with the boyâs life, 31 sees that the boy isnât there, he will die. Your servants will bring the gray head of our father down to the grave in sorrow. 32 Your servant guaranteed the boyâs safety to my father. I said, âIf I do not bring him back to you, I will bear the blame before you, my father, all my life!â
33 âNow then, please let your servant remain here as my lordâs slave in place of the boy, and let the boy return with his brothers. 34 How can I go back to my father if the boy is not with me? No! Do not let me see the misery that would come on my father.â
