Tafsir
After Hazrat Yusuf 'alaihis-salâm' made an agreement with Benjamin, who was his father's and mother's brother, the next day he had the cargo of his other brothers prepared. Of course, the other brothers still did not recognize Hadrat Yusuf 'alaihis-salâm' as their brother. He hid a golden mashraba among Benjamin's load. The others were unaware of this except Benjamin. The caravan takes its provisions and commands, ties its load and sets off in a caravan. In the meantime, just as the caravan is moving and leaving, a crier shouts from behind them. O caravan! Stop, you are thieves.
What is said in the video
When Joseph had prepared their loads, he put the drinking cup into his brother's load; the caravan — after the caravan set off, a crier called out: O caravan, you are thieves! After Joseph (peace be upon him) came to an agreement with Benjamin, his full brother of the same father and mother, the next day he has the loads of his other brothers prepared. Of course his other brothers still have not been able to recognize Joseph (peace be upon him) as their brother. Into Benjamin's load he (?) a golden drinking cup. From this — Benjamin's, he tells Benjamin too anyway, Benjamin knows about it himself. His older brother, that is Joseph, puts into his load the treasury's golden drinking-cup measure.
Except for Benjamin, the others know nothing of this. The caravan takes the (?) provisions and ties up its loads. They set off as a caravan. Meanwhile, just as the caravan is moving off, a crier shouts after them. O caravan, stop, you are thieves, he says. Yes.
