1. Mosebok 44,3
1 Josef instruerte husholdersken sin, “Fyll mennenes sekker med så mye mat som de kan bære, og legg hver manns penger øverst i sekken hans.
2 Legg også sølvbegeret mitt øverst i den yngstes sekk, sammen med pengene hans for kornet.” Og husholdersken gjorde som Josef befalte.
Da morgenen brøt, dro mennene av sted med eslene sine.
4 De hadde nettopp forlatt byen og var ikke langt unna da Josef sa til husholdersken sin, “Gå etter de mennene straks, og når du tar dem igjen, spør, ‘Hvorfor har dere gjengjeldt godt med ondt?
5 Er ikke dette begeret min herre drikker av og bruker til spådom? Dere har begått en urett.’”
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
