Context — Benjamin and the Silver Cup
1Then Joseph instructed his steward: “Fill the men’s sacks with as much food as they can carry, and put each one’s silver in the mouth of his sack.
2Put my cup, the silver one, in the mouth of the youngest one’s sack, along with the silver for his grain.” So the steward did as Joseph had instructed.
3At daybreak, the men were sent on their way with their donkeys. 4They had not gone far from the city when Joseph told his steward, “Pursue the men at once, and when you overtake them, ask, ‘Why have you repaid good with evil?Cross References

Genesis 44:2 Summary
In this verse, Joseph is testing his brothers to see if they will stand up for the youngest brother, Benjamin. He does this by having his steward put a valuable silver cup in Benjamin's sack, along with the silver he paid for his grain, as a way to see how they will react when they think Benjamin has stolen from him. This event is similar to when Joseph's brothers sold him into slavery in Genesis 37:23-35, but now Joseph is in a position of power and is able to test their character. By trusting God's sovereignty and plan, Joseph is able to use this situation to ultimately bring about a greater understanding of God's plan and to bring glory to Him, as seen in Genesis 50:20.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did Joseph instruct his steward to put his silver cup in the youngest brother's sack?
Joseph did this to test his brothers and see if they would stand up for the youngest, Benjamin, as they had previously promised to do, as seen in Genesis 42:37 and Genesis 43:9.
What is the significance of the silver cup in this story?
The silver cup was a valuable item that belonged to Joseph, and by placing it in Benjamin's sack, Joseph was setting up a situation to see how his brothers would react when they thought Benjamin had stolen from him, much like the situation with his own brothers in Genesis 37:23-35.
Did Joseph's steward know what Joseph's plan was?
The Bible doesn't explicitly say that the steward knew Joseph's plan, but it does say that the steward did as Joseph had instructed him in Genesis 44:2, suggesting that the steward trusted Joseph and followed his orders without question.
How does this event relate to the larger story of Joseph and his brothers?
This event is a pivotal moment in the story of Joseph and his brothers, as it ultimately leads to the revelation of Joseph's true identity to his brothers in Genesis 45:1-15, and the reconciliation that follows in Genesis 46:1-34 and Genesis 47:1-31.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways that I can test the character of those around me, and how can I do so in a loving and constructive manner?
- In what ways can I trust God's sovereignty, even when I don't understand the circumstances that are unfolding around me, just like Joseph did in Genesis 44:2?
- How can I use the situations in my life to bring about a greater understanding of God's plan, and to ultimately bring glory to Him, as Joseph did in Genesis 50:20?
- What are some areas in my life where I need to trust God's plan, even when it doesn't make sense to me, and how can I apply the principles from Joseph's story to those areas?
Gill's Exposition on Genesis 44:2
And put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack's mouth of the youngest,.... Benjamin; this he ordered to be done, partly to put him in apparent danger, and try how his brethren would behave towards him
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Genesis 44:2
And put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack's mouth of the youngest, and his corn money. And he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Genesis 44:2
It seems to have been a large cup, and of great price, and much used by Joseph. In the sack’ s mouth of the youngest, with design to discover their intentions and affections towards Benjamin, whether they did envy him, and would desert him in his danger, as they did Joseph; or would cleave to him; that hence he might take his measures how to deal with him and them.
Trapp's Commentary on Genesis 44:2
Genesis 44:2 And put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack’ s mouth of the youngest, and his corn money. And he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken.Ver. 2. He did according to the word.] Servus est nomen officii. A servant is not αυτοματος, one that moveth absolutely of himself, saith Aristotle; but the master’ s instrument, and ολωςεκεινου, wholly his. Such was this servant of Joseph; and such should we all be to God.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Genesis 44:2
Verse 2. Put my cup in the sack's mouth of the youngest] The stratagem of the cup seems to have been designed to bring Joseph's brethren into the highest state of perplexity and distress, that their deliverance by the discovery that Joseph was their brother might have its highest effect.
Cambridge Bible on Genesis 44:2
2. the silver cup] i.e. a well-known, or favourite, goblet. The word for “cup,” the same as in Exodus 25:31, Jeremiah 35:5 (where it is rendered “bowl”), seems to denote a vessel shaped like the calyx of a flower. LXX renders êüíäõ; Lat. scyphum. Observe that Joseph does not reveal his intention to the steward. He plays upon his brethren the same trick as in chap. 42; but brings matters to a point by associating Benjamin with the loss of the cup.
Whedon's Commentary on Genesis 44:2
FURTHER , AND JUDAH’S APPEAL, Genesis 44:1-34. 2. My cup, the silver cup — A large silver goblet or bowl, out of which, according to Genesis 44:5, Joseph was wont to divine.
