Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Genesis 44:1-3

"And he commanded the steward of his house, saying, Fill the men's sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put every man's money in his sack's mouth. And put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack's mouth of the youngest, and his grain money. And he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken. As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their asses."Why did Joseph order the actions related here? It is agreed by many that his purpose was that of finding out... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Genesis 44:4-6

"And when they were gone out of the city, and were 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? Is not this that in which my lord drinketh, whereby he indeed divineth? ye have done evil in so doing. And he overtook them, and he spake unto them these words.""And when they were gone out of the city ..." Willis said, "Unfortunately it is impossible to know what city in Egypt is... read more

"And they said unto him, Wherefore speaketh my lord such words as these? Far be it from thy servants that they should do such a thing. Behold, the money which we found in our sack's mouths, we brought unto thee out of the land of Canaan: how then should we steal out of thy lord's house silver and gold? With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, let him die, and we will be my lord's bondmen. And he said, Now also let it be according unto your words: he with whom it is found shall be my... read more

"Then they hasted, and took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack. And he searched, and began at the eldest, and left off at the youngest: and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack. Then they rent their clothes, and laded every man his ass, and returned to the city."The brothers met the situation with full honor and filial devotion to the wishes of their aged father. Instead of returning without Benjamin, they accepted the plight of their brother as their very own,... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Genesis 44:2

Genesis 44:2. My cup— See on Genesis 44:5. Joseph ordered this cup to be privately put into Benjamin's sack, in order to make a further trial of his brethren's temper, and to see whether, moved with envy, they would give up Benjamin, or help him in his danger. But I cannot think, with some, that he really designed to have made this a pretence for detaining Benjamin; or that he could be ignorant of his father's solicitous attachment to this his younger son. read more

Genesis 44:5. Whereby indeed he divineth— This cup, which the Septuagint call κονδυ, kondu, the AEgyptian name for a cup, was a goblet or bowl, it is thought, with a great belly. It is plain, this was a cup used for common purposes; for the steward says, is not this it in which my lord drinketh? It is evident also, from Gen 44:15 that to divine signifies to know or foretel things which are beyond the reach of common understandings: it is therefore probable, that there was some sort of... read more

Genesis 44:8. Behold, the money— Joseph's brethren urge, as a good proof of their honesty, and of the improbability of the charge laid against them, that it could never be supposed that they, who so faithfully restored the money found in their sacks, which they might so easily have concealed, would scandalously pilfer what was of so much less value, and which might be so easily discovered. Conscious of their innocence, they make the most confident, though incautious proposal; for, having been... read more

Genesis 44:10. Let it be according unto your words— There appears a contradiction in this translation; the steward offering to accept their terms, and yet immediately proposing different ones; compare the ninth verse. Calmet is for rendering the verse thus: Certainly at present it would be just to treat you according to your own words; but he only who hath committed the theft, shall be my slave; I will take no advantage; the rest of you shall be blameless. read more

Genesis 44:13. Rent their clothes— Loniginus lays it down in his Treatise on the Sublime, that one of the first means to attain it, is an accurate and judicious choice of the most suitable circumstances. We cannot have a higher instance of this excellence, than in that striking circumstance in the present narration, which fills the mind with a vast series of ideas: they rent their clothes, says Moses, by which single expression he paints their anguish and confusion, in more lively colours than... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Genesis 44:1

1. And Joseph commanded the steward—The design of putting the cup into the sack of Benjamin was obviously to bring that young man into a situation of difficulty or danger, in order thereby to discover how far the brotherly feelings of the rest would be roused to sympathize with his distress and stimulate their exertions in procuring his deliverance. But for what purpose was the money restored? It was done, in the first instance, from kindly feelings to his father; but another and further design... read more
