Genesis 44:13-17

13Then they 1tore their clothes, and when each man loaded his donkey, they returned to 2the city.

14When Judah and his brothers came to Joseph’s house, he was still there, and 3they fell to the ground before him. 15Joseph said to them, “What is this deed that you have done? Do you not know that such a man as I can indeed practice 4divination?” 16So Judah said, “What can we say to my lord? What can we speak? And how can we justify ourselves? God has found out the iniquity of your servants; behold, we are my lord’s 5slaves, both we and the one in whose 6possession the cup has been found.” 17But he said, “Far be it from me to do this. The man in whose 7possession the cup has been found, he shall be my slave; but as for you, go up in peace to your father.”
