Genesis 44:7-16

7And they saidH559 unto him, Wherefore saithH1696 my lordH113 these wordsH1697? God forbidH2486 that thy servantsH5650 should doH6213 according to this thingH1697: 8Behold, the moneyH3701, which we foundH4672 in our sacks’H572 mouthsH6310, we brought againH7725 unto thee out of the landH776 of CanaanH3667: how then should we stealH1589 out of thy lord’sH113 houseH1004 silverH3701 or goldH2091? 9With whomsoever of thy servantsH5650 it be foundH4672, both let him dieH4191, and we also will be my lord’sH113 bondmenH5650. 10And he saidH559, Now also let it be according unto your wordsH1697: he with whom it is foundH4672 shall be my servantH5650; and ye shall be blamelessH5355. 11Then they speedilyH4116 took downH3381 every manH376 his sackH572 to the groundH776, and openedH6605 every manH376 his sackH572. 12And he searchedH2664, and beganH2490 at the eldestH1419, and leftH3615 at the youngestH6996: and the cupH1375 was foundH4672 in Benjamin’sH1144 sackH572. 13Then they rentH7167 their clothesH8071, and ladedH6006 every manH376 his donkeyH2543, and returnedH7725 to the cityH5892.

14And JudahH3063 and his brethrenH251 cameH935 to Joseph’sH3130 houseH1004; for he was yet there: and they fellH5307 before himH6440 on the groundH776. 15And JosephH3130 saidH559 unto them, What deedH4639 is this that ye have doneH6213? wot yeH3045 not that such a manH376 as I can certainlyH5172 divineH5172?1 16And JudahH3063 saidH559, What shall we sayH559 unto my lordH113? what shall we speakH1696? or how shall we clear ourselvesH6663? GodH430 hath found outH4672 the iniquityH5771 of thy servantsH5650: behold, we are my lord’sH113 servantsH5650, both we, and he alsoH1571 with whomH3027H834 the cupH1375 is foundH4672.
