44 15 Joseph accuseth his brother of theft. 33 Judah offereth himself to be servant for Benjamin.
1 Afterward he commanded his steward, 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.
2 And [a]put my cup, I mean, the silver cup, in the sack’s mouth of the youngest, and his corn money. And he did according to the commandment that Joseph gave him.
3 And in the [b]morning the men were sent away, they, and their asses.
