Genesis 37:8-9

8His brothers said to him, “Are you indeed to reign over us? Or are you indeed to rule over us?” So they hated him even more for his dreams and for his words.

9Then he dreamed another dream and told it to his brothers and said, “Behold, I have dreamed another dream. Behold, the sun, the moon, and eleven stars were bowing down to me.”

Genesis 37:20

Or cisterns; also verses 22, 24
Then we will say that a fierce animal has devoured him, and we will see what will become of his dreams.”

Joseph Tests His Brothers

1Then he commanded cthe steward of his house, dFill the men’s sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put each man’s money in the mouth of his sack, 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.

3As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away with their donkeys. 4They had gone only a short distance from the city. Now Joseph said to his esteward, “Up, follow after the men, and when you overtake them, say to them, ‘Why have you repaid evil for good?
Septuagint (compare Vulgate) adds Why have you stolen my silver cup?
5Is it not from this that my lord drinks, and gby this that he practices divination? You have done evil in doing this.’”

6When he overtook them, he spoke to them these words. 7They said to him, “Why does my lord speak such words as these? Far be it from your servants to do such a thing! 8Behold, hthe money that we found in the mouths of our sacks we brought back to you from the land of Canaan. How then could we steal silver or gold from your lord’s house? 9 iWhichever of your servants is found with it shall die, and we also will be jmy lord’s servants.” 10He said, “Let it be as you say: he who is found with it shall be my servant, and the rest of you shall be innocent.” 11Then each man quickly lowered his sack to the ground, and each man opened his sack. 12And he searched, beginning with the eldest and ending with the youngest. And the cup was found in Benjamin’s sack. 13Then they ktore their clothes, and every man loaded his donkey, and they returned to the city.

14When Judah and his brothers came to Joseph’s house, he was still there. They lfell before him to the ground.

Genesis 50:18-20

18His brothers also came and mfell down before him and said, “Behold, we are your servants.” 19But Joseph said to them, “Do not fear, for nam I in the place of God? 20As for you, you meant evil against me, but oGod meant it for good, to bring it about that many people
Or a numerous people
should be kept alive, as they are today.
