Genesis 44:7-16
7And they said to him, Why does my lord speak such words as these? Far be it from thy servants to do such a thing!
8Behold, the money that we found in our sacks' mouths we have brought again to thee from the land of Canaan; and how should we steal out of thy lord's house silver or gold?
9With whomsoever of thy servants it is found, let him die; and we also will be my lord's bondmen.
10And he said, Now also [let] it [be] according to your words: let him with whom it is found be my bondman, but ye shall be blameless.
11And they hasted and laid down every man his sack on the ground, and opened every man his sack.
12And he searched carefully: he began at the eldest, and ended at the youngest; and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.
13Then they rent their clothes, and loaded every man his ass, and they returned to the city.
14And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph's house; and he was still there; and they fell down before him to the ground.
15And Joseph said to them, What deed is this which ye have done? Did ye not know that such a man as I can certainly divine?
16And Judah said, What shall we say to my lord? what shall we speak, and how justify ourselves? 1God has found out the iniquity of thy servants; behold, we are my lord's bondmen, both we, and he in whose hand the cup has been found.
