Genesis 44:6-12

6When the steward overtook themH5381, he relayedH1696 theseH428 wordsH1697 to themH413.

7“WhyH4100 does my lordH113 sayH1696 theseH428 thingsH1697?” they askedH559H413. “Your servantsH5650 could not possiblyH2486 doH6213 suchH2088 a thingH1697. 8We even brought backH2005H7725 to youH413 from the landH776 of CanaanH3667 the silverH3701 we foundH4672 in the mouthsH6310 of our sacksH572. WhyH349 would we stealH1589 silverH3701 orH176 goldH2091 from your master’sH113 houseH1004? 9If anyH834 of your servantsH5650 is foundH4672 to have itH854, he must dieH4191, and the restH587H1571 will becomeH1961 slavesH5650 of my lordH113.”

10“As you sayH1571H6258H1697,” replied the stewardH559H3651. “But only the oneH1931 whoH834 is foundH4672 withH854 the cup will beH1961 my slaveH5650, and the rest of youH859 shall beH1961 free of blameH5355.”

11So eachH376 one quicklyH4116 loweredH3381 his sackH572 to the groundH776 and openedH6605H376 itH572. 12The steward searchedH2664, beginningH2490 with the oldestH1419 and endingH3615 with the youngestH6996—and the cupH1375 was foundH4672 in Benjamin’sH1144 sackH572.
