44 katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE Passage Biblia Hebraica

44 1Then he commanded the steward of his house, "Fill the men's sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put each man's money in the mouth of his sack,The missing cup. Gn.44.1-17וַיְצַו אֶת־אֲשֶׁר עַל־בֵּיתֹו לֵאמֹר מַלֵּא אֶת־אַמְתְּחֹת הָאֲנָשִׁים אֹכֶל כַּאֲשֶׁר יוּכְלוּן שְׂאֵת וְשִׂים כֶּסֶף־אִישׁ בְּפִי אַמְתַּחְתֹּו׃
2and put my cup, the silver cup, in the mouth of the sack of the youngest, with his money for the grain." And he did as Joseph told him. וְאֶת־גְּבִיעִי גְּבִיעַ הַכֶּסֶף תָּשִׂים בְּפִי אַמְתַּחַת הַקָּטֹן וְאֵת כֶּסֶף שִׁבְרֹו וַיַּעַשׂ כִּדְבַר יֹוסֵף אֲשֶׁר דִּבֵּר׃
3As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away with their asses. הַבֹּקֶר אֹור וְהָאֲנָשִׁים שֻׁלְּחוּ הֵמָּה וַחֲמֹרֵיהֶם׃
4When they had gone but a short distance from the city, Joseph said to his steward, "Up, follow after the men; and when you overtake them, say to them, 'Why have you returned evil for good? Why have you stolen my silver cup? הֵם יָצְאוּ אֶת־הָעִיר לֹא הִרְחִיקוּ וְיֹוסֵף אָמַר לַאֲשֶׁר עַל־בֵּיתֹו קוּם רְדֹף אַחֲרֵי הָאֲנָשִׁים וְהִשַּׂגְתָּם וְאָמַרְתָּ אֲלֵהֶם לָמָּה שִׁלַּמְתֶּם רָעָה תַּחַת טֹובָה׃
5Is it not from this that my lord drinks, and by this that he divines? You have done wrong in so doing.' " הֲלֹוא זֶה אֲשֶׁר יִשְׁתֶּה אֲדֹנִי בֹּו וְהוּא נַחֵשׁ יְנַחֵשׁ בֹּו הֲרֵעֹתֶם אֲשֶׁר עֲשִׂיתֶם׃
6When he overtook them, he spoke to them these words. וַיַּשִּׂגֵם וַיְדַבֵּר אֲלֵהֶם אֶת־הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה׃
7They said to him, "Why does my lord speak such words as these? Far be it from your servants that they should do such a thing! וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלָיו לָמָּה יְדַבֵּר אֲדֹנִי כַּדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה חָלִילָה לַעֲבָדֶיךָ מֵעֲשֹׂות כַּדָּבָר הַזֶּה׃
8Behold, the money which we found in the mouth of our sacks, we brought back to you from the land of Canaan; how then should we steal silver or gold from your lord's house? הֵן כֶּסֶף אֲשֶׁר מָצָאנוּ בְּפִי אַמְתְּחֹתֵינוּ הֱשִׁיבֹנוּ אֵלֶיךָ מֵאֶרֶץ כְּנָעַן וְאֵיךְ נִגְנֹב מִבֵּית אֲדֹנֶיךָ כֶּסֶף אֹו זָהָב׃
9With whomever of your servants it be found, let him die, and we also will be my lord's slaves." אֲשֶׁר יִמָּצֵא אִתֹּו מֵעֲבָדֶיךָ וָמֵת וְגַם־אֲנַחְנוּ נִהְיֶה לַאדֹנִי לַעֲבָדִים׃
10He said, "Let it be as you say: he with whom it is found shall be my slave, and the rest of you shall be blameless." וַיֹּאמֶר גַּם־עַתָּה כְדִבְרֵיכֶם כֶּן־הוּא אֲשֶׁר יִמָּצֵא אִתֹּו יִהְיֶה־לִּי עָבֶד וְאַתֶּם תִּהְיוּ נְקִיִּם׃
11Then every man quickly lowered his sack to the ground, and every man opened his sack. וַיְמַהֲרוּ וַיֹּורִדוּ אִישׁ אֶת־אַמְתַּחְתֹּו אָרְצָה וַיִּפְתְּחוּ אִישׁ אַמְתַּחְתֹּו׃
12And he searched, beginning with the eldest and ending with the youngest; and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack. וַיְחַפֵּשׂ בַּגָּדֹול הֵחֵל וּבַקָּטֹן כִּלָּה וַיִּמָּצֵא הַגָּבִיעַ בְּאַמְתַּחַת בִּנְיָמִן׃
13Then they rent their clothes, and every man loaded his ass, and they returned to the city. וַיִּקְרְעוּ שִׂמְלֹתָם וַיַּעֲמֹס אִישׁ עַל־חֲמֹרֹו וַיָּשֻׁבוּ הָעִירָה׃
14When Judah and his brothers came to Joseph's house, he was still there; and they fell before him to the ground. וַיָּבֹא יְהוּדָה וְאֶחָיו בֵּיתָה יֹוסֵף וְהוּא עֹודֶנּוּ שָׁם וַיִּפְּלוּ לְפָנָיו אָרְצָה׃
15Joseph said to them, "What deed is this that you have done? Do you not know that such a man as I can indeed divine?" וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם יֹוסֵף מָה־הַמַּעֲשֶׂה הַזֶּה אֲשֶׁר עֲשִׂיתֶם הֲלֹוא יְדַעְתֶּם כִּי־נַחֵשׁ יְנַחֵשׁ אִישׁ אֲשֶׁר כָּמֹנִי׃
16And Judah said, "What shall we say to my lord? What shall we speak? Or how can we clear ourselves? God has found out the guilt of your servants; behold, we are my lord's slaves, both we and he also in whose hand the cup has been found." וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוּדָה מַה־נֹּאמַר לַאדֹנִי מַה־נְּדַבֵּר וּמַה־נִּצְטַדָּק הָאֱלֹהִים מָצָא אֶת־עֲוֹן עֲבָדֶיךָ הִנֶּנּוּ עֲבָדִים לַאדֹנִי גַּם־אֲנַחְנוּ גַּם אֲשֶׁר־נִמְצָא הַגָּבִיעַ בְּיָדֹו׃
17But he said, "Far be it from me that I should do so! Only the man in whose hand the cup was found shall be my slave; but as for you, go up in peace to your father." וַיֹּאמֶר חָלִילָה לִּי מֵעֲשֹׂות זֹאת הָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר נִמְצָא הַגָּבִיעַ בְּיָדֹו הוּא יִהְיֶה־לִּי עָבֶד וְאַתֶּם עֲלוּ לְשָׁלֹום אֶל־אֲבִיכֶם׃ ף

Notes: This page displays passages from the katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE.
The katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE is a very light revision of the RSV. The changes are: (1) In places where 'the LORD', 'O LORD' occurs in the RSV, (it represents the tetragrammaton - YHWH - which is in the hebrew text), I have used the name 'Yahweh'.
(2) I have removed the quotation marks and hyphens that were used in so many names in the RSV as an aid to correct pronunciation. This now brings it in line with all other English versions, and makes any word-search more accurate.
(3) I have changed all (I hope!) of the RSV archaic language sections to modern.

The katapi New Study Bible reference section displays links to parallel passages, and to direct quotations by New Testament authors to Old Testament passages. Quotations of OT passages by NT authors can in most cases be viewed within their context of the OT passage as a whole, with the quoted text displayed, against a subdued background.
