Gen 44:1 And he commanded the steward of his house, saying, Fill the men's sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put every man's money in his sack's mouth.

Gen 44:2 And put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack's mouth of the youngest, and his corn money. And he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken.

habbōqer ’ôr wəhā’ănāšîm šulləḥû hēmmāh waḥămōrêhem

Gen 44:3 As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their asses.

Gen 44:4 And when they were gone out of the city, and not yet far off, Joseph said unto his steward, Up, follow after the men; and when thou dost overtake them, say unto them, Wherefore have ye rewarded evil for good?

hălô’ zeh ’ăšer yišəteh ’ăḏōnî bô wəhû’ naḥēš yənaḥēš bô hărē‘ōṯem ’ăšer ‘ăśîṯem

Gen 44:5 Is not this it in which my lord drinketh, and whereby indeed he divineth? ye have done evil in so doing.

Gen 44:6 And he overtook them, and he spake unto them these same words.

Gen 44:7 And they said unto him, Wherefore saith my lord these words? God forbid that thy servants should do according to this thing:

hēn kesep̱ ’ăšer māṣā’nû bəp̱î ’amətəḥōṯênû hĕšîḇōnû ’ēleyḵā mē’ereṣ kənā‘an wə’êḵ nig̱ənōḇ mibbêṯ ’ăḏōneyḵā kesep̱ ’ô zāhāḇ

Gen 44:8 Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks' mouths, we brought again unto thee out of the land of Canaan: how then should we steal out of thy lord's house silver or gold?

Gen 44:9 With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, both let him die, and we also will be my lord's bondmen.

Gen 44:10 And he said, Now also let it be according unto your words: he with whom it is found shall be my servant; and ye shall be blameless.

Gen 44:13 Then they rent their clothes, and laded every man his ass, and returned to the city.

Gen 44:14 And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph's house; for he was yet there: and they fell before him on the ground.

Gen 44:15 And Joseph said unto them, What deed is this that ye have done? wot ye not that such a man as I can certainly divine?

wayyō’mer yəhûḏāh mah-nnō’mar la’ḏōnî mah-nnəḏabbēr ûmah-nniṣəṭaddāq hā’ĕlōhîm māṣā’ ’eṯ-‘ăwōn ‘ăḇāḏeyḵā hinnennû ‘ăḇāḏîm la’ḏōnî gam-’ănaḥənû gam ’ăšer-niməṣā’ haggāḇîa‘ bəyāḏô

Gen 44:16 And Judah said, What shall we say unto my lord? what shall we speak? or how shall we clear ourselves? God hath found out the iniquity of thy servants: behold, we are my lord's servants, both we, and he also with whom the cup is found.

wayyō’mer ḥālîlāh llî mē‘ăśôṯ zō’ṯ hā’îš ’ăšer niməṣā’ haggāḇîa‘ bəyāḏô hû’ yihəyeh-llî ‘āḇeḏ wə’attem ‘ălû ləšālôm ’el-’ăḇîḵem

Gen 44:17 And he said, God forbid that I should do so: but the man in whose hand the cup is found, he shall be my servant; and as for you, get you up in peace unto your father.

wayyiggaš ’ēlāyw yəhûḏāh wayyō’mer bî ’ăḏōnî yəḏabber-nā’ ‘aḇədəḵā ḏāḇār bə’āzənê ’ăḏōnî wə’al-yiḥar ’appəḵā bə‘aḇədeḵā kî ḵāmôḵā kəp̱arə‘ōh

Gen 44:18 Then Judah came near unto him, and said, Oh my lord, let thy servant, I pray thee, speak a word in my lord's ears, and let not thine anger burn against thy servant: for thou art even as Pharaoh.

’ăḏōnî šā’al ’eṯ-‘ăḇāḏāyw lē’mōr hăyēš-lāḵem ’āḇ ’ô-’āḥ

Gen 44:19 My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother?

Gen 44:20 And we said unto my lord, We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, a little one; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loveth him.

wattō’mer ’el-‘ăḇāḏeyḵā hôriḏuhû ’ēlāy wə’āśîmāh ‘ênî ‘ālāyw

Gen 44:22 And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die.

wattō’mer ’el-‘ăḇāḏeyḵā ’im-lō’ yērēḏ ’ăḥîḵem haqqāṭōn ’ittəḵem lō’ ṯōsip̱ûn lirə’ôṯ pānāy

Gen 44:23 And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more.

Gen 44:24 And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.

wayyō’mer ’āḇînû šuḇû šiḇərû-lānû mə‘aṭ-’ōḵel

Gen 44:25 And our father said, Go again, and buy us a little food.

Gen 44:26 And we said, We cannot go down: if our youngest brother be with us, then will we go down: for we may not see the man's face, except our youngest brother be with us.

wayyō’mer ‘aḇədəḵā ’āḇî ’ēlênû ’attem yəḏa‘ətem kî šənayim yāləḏāh-llî ’išətî

Gen 44:27 And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my wife bare me two sons:

wayyēṣē’ hā’eḥāḏ mē’ittî wā’ōmar ’aḵ ṭārōp̱ ṭōrāp̱ wəlō’ rə’îṯîw ‘aḏ-hēnnāh

Gen 44:28 And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces; and I saw him not since:

ûləqaḥətem gam-’eṯ-zeh mē‘im pānay wəqārāhû ’āsôn wəhôraḏətem ’eṯ-śêḇāṯî bərā‘āh šə’ōlāh

Gen 44:29 And if ye take this also from me, and mischief befall him, ye shall bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.

wə‘attāh kəḇō’î ’el-‘aḇədəḵā ’āḇî wəhanna‘ar ’ênennû ’ittānû wənap̱əšô qəšûrāh ḇənap̱əšô

Gen 44:30 Now therefore when I come to thy servant my father, and the lad be not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the lad's life;

wəhāyāh kirə’ôṯô kî-’ên hanna‘ar wāmēṯ wəhôrîḏû ‘ăḇāḏeyḵā ’eṯ-śêḇaṯ ‘aḇədəḵā ’āḇînû bəyāg̱ôn šə’ōlāh

Gen 44:31 It shall come to pass, when he seeth that the lad is not with us, that he will die: and thy servants shall bring down the gray hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to the grave.

kî ‘aḇədəḵā ‘āraḇ ’eṯ-hanna‘ar mē‘im ’āḇî lē’mōr ’im-lō’ ’ăḇî’ennû ’ēleyḵā wəḥāṭā’ṯî lə’āḇî kāl-hayyāmîm

Gen 44:32 For thy servant became surety for the lad unto my father, saying, If I bring him not unto thee, then I shall bear the blame to my father for ever.

wə‘attāh yēšeḇ-nā’ ‘aḇədəḵā taḥaṯ hanna‘ar ‘eḇeḏ la’ḏōnî wəhanna‘ar ya‘al ‘im-’eḥāyw

Gen 44:33 Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant abide instead of the lad a bondman to my lord; and let the lad go up with his brethren.

kî-’êḵ ’e‘ĕleh ’el-’āḇî wəhanna‘ar ’ênennû ’ittî pen ’erə’eh ḇārā‘ ’ăšer yiməṣā’ ’eṯ-’āḇî

Gen 44:34 For how shall I go up to my father, and the lad be not with me? lest peradventure I see the evil that shall come on my father.
