Genesis 44:13-17

13Then they all toreH7167 their clothesH8071, loadedH6006 their donkeysH2543, and returnedH7725 to the cityH5892.

14When JudahH3063 and his brothersH251 arrived atH935 Joseph’sH3130 houseH1004, heH1931 was stillH5750 thereH8033, and they fellH5307 to the groundH776 before himH6440.

15“WhatH4100 is thisH2088 deedH4639 you have doneH6213?” JosephH3130 declaredH559. “Do you notH3808 knowH3045 thatH3588 a manH376 like meH3644 can surely divine the truthH5172?”

16“WhatH4100 can we sayH559 to my lordH113?” JudahH3063 repliedH559. “HowH4100 can we pleadH1696? HowH4100 can we justify ourselvesH6663? GodH430 has exposedH4672 the iniquityH5771 of your servantsH5650. We are nowH2005 my lord’sH113 slavesH5650—bothH1571 weH587 andH1571 the oneH834 who was foundH4672 withH3027 the cupH1375.”

17But Joseph repliedH559, “Far be itH2486 from me to doH6213 thisH2063. The manH376 whoH834 was foundH4672 withH3027H1931 the cupH1375 will beH1961 my slaveH5650. The rest of youH859 may returnH5927 toH413 your fatherH1 in peaceH7965.”
