Context of Genesis 44:9
7And they said to him, Why saith my lord these words? Far be it from us that thy servants should do according to this thing: 8Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks’ mouths, we brought again to thee from the land of Canaan: how then should we steal from thy lord’s house silver or gold? With whomever of thy servants it shall be found, both let him die, and we also will be my lord’s slaves. 10And he said, Now also let it be according to your words: he with whom it shall be found shall be my servant; and ye shall be blameless. 11Then they speedily took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack.
