Genesis 44:6-13

6And he overtookH5381 them, and he spake unto them theseH428 wordsH1697.

7And they saidH559 unto him, Wherefore speaketh my lordH113 suchH2088 wordsH1697 as theseH428? GodH559 forbidH2486 that thy servantsH5650 should doH6213 suchH2088 a thingH1697.

8BeholdH2005, the moneyH3701, whichH834 weH834 foundH4672 in our sacks’ mouthsH6310, weH834 broughtH7725 againH7725 unto thee outH413 of the landH776 of CanaanH3667: howH349 then should weH834 stealH1589 outH413 of thy lord’sH113 houseH1004 silverH3701 or goldH2091?

9With whomsoever of thy servantsH5650 it be foundH4672, letH1961 him dieH4191, and weH587 also will be my lord’sH113 bondmen.

10And he saidH559, NowH6258 also letH6258 it be according unto your wordsH1697: he with whomH834 it is foundH4672 shall be my bondman; and ye shall be blameless.

11Then they hasted, and tookH853 downH3381 everyH376 manH376 his sackH572 to the groundH776, and openedH6605 everyH376 manH376 his sackH572.

12And he searchedH2664, and beganH2490 at the eldest, and leftH4672 at the youngestH6996: and the cupH1375 was foundH4672 in Benjamin’sH1144 sackH572.

13Then they rent their clothesH8071, and laded everyH376 manH376 his ass, and returnedH7725 to the cityH5892.
