Context of Genesis 44:13
11Then each man quickly lowered his sack to the ground and each man opened his sack. 12He searched them beginning with the eldest and finishing with the youngest, and the cup was found in Benjamin’s sack. Then they tore their clothing, and each one loaded up his donkey and they returned to the city. 14When Judah and his brothers entered Joseph’s house, he was still there. They fell to the ground before him. 15“What’s this deed you’ve done?” Joseph said to them, “Didn’t you know that a man like me can discern by divination?”
