44:5 “Divination”: a way of discovering secrets or hidden knowledge. Sometimes this is close to magic, but, in this case, it may be that Joseph is using a common superstition to cover up his plan.

44:5 This description would make the brothers understand that the ruler knew things that others could not.
• Hydromancy (pouring water into oil) and oenomancy (pouring wine into other liquids) were methods of divination used in the ancient Near East that would have required such a cup. Joseph was continuing his ruse (see 42:7; cp. 30:27; see also Lev 19:26; Num 23:23; Deut 18:10-11)—he knew that only God grants revelation (see Gen 37:5-9; 40:8; 41:16).

הֲל֣וֹא זֶ֗ה אֲשֶׁ֨ר יִשְׁתֶּ֤ה אֲדֹנִי֙ בּ֔וֹ
am=not this which/who drinks my=master/master in/on/over=him/it
The servant uses this rhetorical question to further express his outrage about the missing cup. Consider what is the best way to communicate that in your language. Alternate translation: “Why do you have the cup that my master drinks from”
וְה֕וּא נַחֵ֥שׁ יְנַחֵ֖שׁ בּ֑וֹ
and=he to_divine he_divines in/on/over=him/it
The word divines refers to the practice of interpreting omens (signs) or using supernatural means to find out things. See how you translated a similar term (“divination”) in Gen 30:27. Also consider whether or not it is better in your language to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “It is the one he regularly uses for divination!”
הֲרֵעֹתֶ֖ם אֲשֶׁ֥ר עֲשִׂיתֶֽם
done_wrong which/who done
The phrase you have done is repeated in this sentence for emphasis. Consider what is the best way to communicate that emphasis in your language. Alternate translation: “What you have done is very evil”
