New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Genesis 43
33 Now they were seated before him, the firstborn according to his birthright and the youngest according to his youth, and the men looked at one another in astonishment.
34 He took portions to them from his own table, but Benjamin’s portion was five times as much as any of theirs. So they feasted and drank freely with him.
Genesis 44
1 Then he commanded his house steward, saying, "Fill the men’s sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put each man’s money in the mouth of his sack.
2 Put my cup, the silver cup, in the mouth of the sack of the youngest, and his money for the grain." And he did as Joseph had told him.
3 As soon as it was light, the men were sent away, they with their donkeys.
4 They had just gone out of the city, and were not far off, when Joseph said to his house steward, "Up, follow the men; and when you overtake them, say to them, ’Why have you repaid evil for good?
5 Is not this the one from which my lord drinks and which he indeed uses for divination? You have done wrong in doing this.’"
6 So he overtook them and spoke these words to them.
7 They said to him, "Why does my lord speak such words as these? Far be it from your servants to do such a thing.
8 Behold, the money which we found in the mouth of our sacks we have brought back to you from the land of Canaan. How then could we steal silver or gold from your lord’s house?
9 With whomever of your servants it is found, let him die, and we also will be my lord’s slaves."
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
