| Genesis 44:2 | Put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack's mouth of the youngest, with his grain money." He did according to the word that Joseph had spoken. | And in the mouth of the younger's sack put my silver cup, and the price which he gave for the wheat. And it was so done. | And put my cup, my silver cup, in the youngest one's bag, with his money. So he did as Joseph said. |

When you overtake them, tell them, 'Why have you rewarded evil for good? | And when they were now departed out of the city, and had gone forward a little way; Joseph sendingfor the steward of his house, said: Arise, and pursue after the men: and when thou hast overtaken them, say to them: Why have you returned evil for good? | And when they had gone only a little way out of the town, Joseph said to the servant who was over his house, Go after them; and when you overtake them, say to them, Why have you done evil in reward for good? |
| Genesis 44:5 | Isn't this that from which my lord drinks, and whereby he indeed divines? You have done evil in so doing.'" | The cup which you have stolen is that in which my lord drinketh, and in which he is wont to divine: you have done a very evil thing. | Is not this the cup from which my lord takes wine and by which he gets knowledge of the future? Truly, you have done evil. |

Far be it from your servants that they should do such a thing! | And they answered: Why doth our lord speak so, as though thy servants had committed so heinous a fact? | And they said to him, Why does my lord say such words as these? far be it from your servants to do such a thing: |
| Genesis 44:8 | Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks' mouths, we brought again to you out of the land of Canaan. How then should we steal silver or gold out of your lord's house? | The money, that we found in the top of our sacks, we brought back to thee from the land of Chanaan: how then should it be that we should steal out of thy lord's house, gold or silver?\ | See, the money which was in the mouth of our bags we gave back to you when we came again from Canaan: how then might we take silver or gold from your lord's house? |
| Genesis 44:9 | With whoever of your servants it be found, let him die, and we also will be my lord's bondservants." | With whomsoever of thy servants shall be found that which thou seekest, let him die, and we will be the bondmen of my lord. | If it comes to light that any of your servants has done this, let him be put to death, and we will be your lord's servants. |
| Genesis 44:10 | He said, "Now also let it be according to your words: he with whom it is found will be my bondservant; and you will be blameless." | And he said to them: Let it be according to your sentence: with whomsoever it shall be found, let him be my servant, and you shall be blameless. | And he said, Let it be as you say: he in whose bag it is seen will become my servant; and you will not be responsible. |

| Genesis 44:15 | Joseph said to them, "What deed is this that you have done? Don't you know that such a man as I can indeed divine?" | And he said to them: Why would you do so? know you not that there is no one like me in the science of divining. | And Joseph said, What is this thing which you have done? had you no thought that such a man as I would have power to see what is secret? |

| Genesis 44:22 | We said to my lord, 'The boy can't leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die.' | We suggested to my lord: The boy cannot leave his father: for if he leave him, he will die. | And we said to my lord, His father will not let him go; for if he went away his father would come to his death. |
| Genesis 44:23 | You said to your servants, 'Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, you will see my face no more.' | And thou saidst to thy servants: Except your youngest brother come with you, you shall see my face no more. | But you said to your servants, If your youngest brother does not come with you, you will not see my face again. |
| Genesis 44:24 | It happened when we came up to your servant my father, we told him the words of my lord. | Therefore when we were gone up to thy servant our father, we told him all that my lord had said. | And when we went back to your servant, our father, we gave him an account of my lord's words. |

| Genesis 44:30 | Now therefore when I come to your servant my father, and the boy is not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the boy's life; | 30Therefore if I shall go to thy servant our father, and the boy be wanting, (whereas his life dependeth upon the life of him,) | If then I go back to your servant, my father, without the boy, because his life and the boy's life are one, |
| Genesis 44:31 | it will happen, when he sees that the boy is no more, that he will die. Your servants will bring down the gray hairs of your servant, our father, with sorrow to Sheol. | And he shall see that he is not with us, he will die, and thy servants shall bring down his gray hairs with sorrow unto hell. | When he sees that the boy is not with us, he will come to his death, and our father's grey head will go down in sorrow to the underworld. |
