Genesis 44:13-17

13When they saw this, they tore their clothes in grief. Then each one loaded his donkey and went back into the city.

14Judah and his brothers arrived at Joseph’s house while Joseph was still there. Immediately, they bowed with their faces touching the ground.

15Joseph asked them, “What have you done? Don’t you know that a man like me can find things out because he knows the future?”

16“Sir, what can we say to you?” Judah asked. “How else can we explain it? How can we prove we’re innocent? God has uncovered our guilt. Now all of us are your slaves, including the one who had the cup.”

17But Joseph said, “I would never think of doing that! Only the man who had the cup will be my slave. The rest of you can go back to your father in peace.”
