4 When they had gone out of the city, and were not yet far off, Joseph said to his steward, “Get up, follow the men; and when you overtake them, say to them, ‘Why have you ^arepaid evil for good?  ‡

5 Is not this the one from which my lord drinks, and with which he indeed practices divination? You have done evil in so doing.’ ”

8 Look, we brought back to you from the land of Canaan ^athe money which we found in the mouth of our sacks. How then could we steal silver or gold from your lord’s house?  ‡

9 With whomever of your servants it is found, ^alet him die, and we also will be my lord’s slaves.”  ‡
