10<\/strong>. my bondman<\/em> ] Joseph’s steward, while accepting the terms, mitigates their severity. He proposes that the offender, if apprehended, shall alone be punished, not with death, but with slavery. Joseph’s brethren readily accept the terms.<\/p>\n Thus he moderates the conditions which they proposed, exempting the innocent, and exchanging the deserved and offered death of the nocent into slavery. <\/P> <\/p>\n And he said, now also [let] it [be] according unto your words<\/strong>,…. Not according to the full extent of their words, but according to a part of them; that be only should be a servant that was found guilty; so moderating the punishment which they had fixed, and were willing to submit to, and therefore could not object to what he next proposes:<\/p>\n he with whom it is found shall be my servant<\/strong>; speaking in the name of Joseph, whom he represented, and who had directed him what to say:<\/p>\n and ye shall be blameless<\/strong>; acquitted of the charge, and pronounced innocent, and let go free.<\/p>\n The man replied, “ Now let it be even<\/em> ( placed first for the sake of emphasis) according to your words: with whom it is found, he shall be my slave, and ye<\/em> (the rest) shall remain blameless<\/em>.” Thus he modified the sentence, to assume the appearance of justice.<\/p>\n ‘And he said, “Let it now be as you have said. He with whom it is found shall be my bondman, and you shall be blameless.’ <\/p>\n “As you have said.”<\/strong> Not in the detail but in the fact of punishment. The servant lessens the sentence. Joseph does not want to drive his brothers too far. The guilty man will become a bondman and the rest will be seen as blameless and can go free. This was not in accordance with ancient practise which demanded collective responsibility. Those who consorted with a guilty man were themselves seen as guilty, as the brothers had themselves admitted. <\/p>\n Gen 44:10<\/span><\/em><\/strong>. <\/strong>Let it be according unto your words<\/em><\/strong><\/strong> 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; <\/em>I will take no advantage; the rest of you shall be blameless.<\/em> <\/p>\n Renting the garment is an eastern token of great distress. Gen 37:29<\/span> .<\/p>\n Gen 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.<\/p>\n Ver. 10. Shall be my servant,<\/strong> ] i.e., Mine, in my master’s name and behalf.<\/p>\n he with whom: Gen 44:17, Gen 44:33, Exo 22:3, Mat 18:24, Mat 18:25<\/p>\n 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. 10. my bondman ] Joseph’s steward, while accepting the terms, mitigates their severity.
