Tafsir
The criers say in reply, "We are looking for the king's water pot, but his mashrabah has disappeared and rumor has it that the mashrabah is made of gold. Since the mashrab is precious, they will give a camel's load of gratuity to the one who finds it and brings it back. Therefore, they said, you are the last caravan to leave the mullah's side, so we will look for your cargoes.
Then one of Joseph's other brothers, who was unaware of the game being played, spoke on behalf of the others and confidently said, "I can vouch for all of them that we did not do this and that we did not steal the king's cup.
What is said in the video
We are looking for the king's water vessel. Whoever brings it gets a camel-load as reward, they said. One of them said: I vouch for this. Yes. The criers answer: We are looking for the king's water vessel. His drinking cup is lost. According to reports, the drinking cup was of gold. Since the cup is valuable, whoever finds and brings back this cup will be given a camel-load as reward. For this reason: the last caravan to load provisions and leave the King's presence is you. That is why we will search your loads, they say. Thereupon one of Joseph's other brothers, unaware of the game being played, speaking also for the other brothers and sure of himself, says: that we did not do this and did not steal the king's bowl, I vouch for all of them.
For all of them. For his brothers. That is, if anything happens, (?) me. I'm answerable.
