## Genesis 44:7-8 in Context (Verses 4–11 KJV)
 
 [4 ](/kjv/genesis/44/4) *And* when they were gone out of the city, *and* not *yet* far off, Joseph said unto his steward, Up, follow after the men; and when thou dost overtake them, say unto them, Wherefore have ye rewarded evil for good?
 
 [5 ](/kjv/genesis/44/5) *Is* not this *it* in which my lord drinketh, and whereby indeed he divineth? ye have done evil in so doing.*
 
 [6 ](/kjv/genesis/44/6) ¶ And he overtook them, and he spake unto them these same words.
 
 [7 ](/kjv/genesis/44/7) And they said unto him, Wherefore saith my lord these words? God forbid that thy servants should do according to this thing:
 
 [8 ](/kjv/genesis/44/8) Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks’ mouths, we brought again unto thee out of the land of Canaan: how then should we steal out of thy lord’s house silver or gold?
 
 [9 ](/kjv/genesis/44/9) With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, both let him die, and we also will be my lord’s bondmen.
 
 [10 ](/kjv/genesis/44/10) And he said, Now also *let* it *be* according unto your words: he with whom it is found shall be my servant; and ye shall be blameless.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/genesis/44/11) Then they speedily took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack.
