Genesis 44:4
2 Put my cup, the silver one, in the mouth of the youngest one’s sack, along with the silver for his grain.” So the steward did as Joseph had instructed.
3 At daybreak, the men were sent on their way with their donkeys.
They had not gone far from the city when Joseph told his steward, “Pursue the men at once, and when you overtake them, ask, ‘Why have you repaid good with evil?
5 Is this not the cup my master drinks from and uses for divination? What you have done is wicked!’”
6 When the steward overtook them, he relayed these words to them.
