Genesis 44:5 Context
3Assoone as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they, and their asses. 4And when they were gone out of the citie, and not yet farre off, Ioseph said vnto his steward, Up, follow after the men; and when thou doest ouertake them, say vnto them, Wherefore haue ye rewarded euill for good? 5Is not this it, in which my lord drinketh? and whereby indeed he diuineth? ye haue done euill in so doing. 6¶ And he ouertooke them, and he spake vnto them these same words. 7And they said vnto him, Wherefore saith my lord these words? God forbid that thy seruants should doe according to this thing.
