to/for=what repaid evil below/instead_of good
Joseph’s servant uses this rhetorical question to scold the brothers and express his outrage. Consider what is the best way to communicate those things in your language. Alternate translation: “Why have you treated my master so badly when he was so good to you?” or “My master was very good to you. Why have you treated him so badly?” or “My master treated you so well, but in return you have treated him very badly!”
44:1-34 The brothers appeared to have changed; they had shown remorse over what they had done to Joseph, and they showed integrity in returning the money and in bringing Benjamin. Given a chance to get rid of Rachel’s other son, Benjamin, would they do it?
