The "steward" was responsible for managing Joseph's household activities.
Their money was silver coins most likely in a small bag.
"in his sack"
"Put my silver cup"
"in the youngest brother's sack"
"The morning light shown"
"they sent the men away, along with their donkeys"
"You have treated us badly, after we were good to you!"
"You already know that this is the cup that my master uses for drinking and for fortune telling!"
"What you have done is very evil"
"spoke what Joseph told him to say"
"Why are you saying this, my master?"
"We would never do such a thing!"
"Listen to what we are about to say and you will see that we are speaking the truth: the money"
"you know the money that we found in our sacks"
"we brought back to you from Canaan"
"So we would never take anything from your master's house!"
"If you find that one of us has stolen the cup"
"you may take us as your slaves"
"If I find the cup in one of your sacks, that person will be my slave"
"lowered his sack"
"youngest. The steward found the cup in Benjamin's sack"
The word "they" refers to the brothers. Tearing clothes was a sign of great distress and sorrow.
"Surely you know that a man like me can learn things by magic!"
"We have nothing to say, my master. We cannot speak anything of value. We cannot justify ourselves."
"God is punishing us for our past sins"
"It is not like me to do something like that"
"The man who had my cup"
"approached"
"let me, your servant"
"speak to you, my master"
"please do not be angry with me, your servant"
"for you are as powerful as Pharaoh and could have your soldiers kill me"
"My master asked us if we have a father or a brother."
"And you said to your servants that we should bring our youngest brother to you so that you may see him"
"In response, we said to my master that the boy cannot ... father would die from sorrow"
"Then you said to your servants that unless our youngest brother comes with us, we would not see you again."
"we told him what you said, my master"
"Then we said to him that we cannot go down to Egypt. We told him that if our youngest brother is with us ... is with us"
"to see the man"
Here "us" does not include Joseph.
Here "You" is plural and refers to the brothers.
"a wild animal has torn him to pieces"
"This is what your servant my father said to us: 'You know that my wife bore me two sons. One of them went out from me and I said that surely he had been torn in pieces, and I have not seen him since. Now if you also take this one from me, and harm comes to him, you will bring down my gray hair with sorrow to Sheol.'"
Something bad happening to a person is spoken of as if "harm" were something that travels and comes to a person.
"then you will cause me, an old man, to die of sorrow"
"me, an old man"
"since he said he would die if the boy did not come back"
"And we your servants will have caused our old father to die of sorrow"
"For I promised my father concerning the boy"
"For I, your servant" or "For I"
"then my father may blame me"
"let your servant remain as a slave to my master instead of the boy"
It was going to use the phrase "go up" when speaking about traveling from Egypt to Canaan.
"I cannot return to my father if the boy is not with me."
"I am afraid to see how much my father would suffer"
