Genesis 44:7-16

7And they said to him, “Why does my lord say such words as these? Far be it from your servants to do such a thing! 8Behold, 1the money which we found in the opening of our sacks we have brought back to you from the land of Canaan. How then could we steal silver or gold from your lord’s house? 92With whomever of your servants it is found, he shall die, and we also shall be my lord’s 3slaves.” 10So he said, “Now let it indeed be according to your words; he with whom it is found shall be my slave, but the rest of you shall be considered innocent.” 11Then they hurried, each man lowered his sack to the ground, and each man opened his sack. 12And he searched, beginning with the oldest and ending with the youngest; and 4the cup was found in Benjamin’s sack. 13Then they 5tore their clothes in grief, and when each man had loaded his donkey, they returned to 6the city.

14When Judah and his brothers came to Joseph’s house, he was still there, and 7they fell down to the ground before him. 15Joseph said to them, “What is this thing that you have done? Do you not know that a man who is like me can indeed practice 8divination?” 16So Judah said, “What can we say to my lord? What words can we speak? And how can we justify ourselves? God has found out the guilt of your servants; behold, we are my lord’s 9slaves, both we and the one in whose 10possession the cup has been found.”
