Genesis 44:7-16

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. 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.”
