11. And they hasted and laid down every man his sack on the ground, and opened every man his sack.
12. And he searched carefully: he began at the eldest, and ended at the youngest; and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.

14. And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph's house; and he was still there; and they fell down before him to the ground.

16. And Judah said, What shall we say to my lord? what shall we speak, and how justify ourselves? God has found out the iniquity of thy servants; behold, we are my lord's bondmen, both we, and he in whose hand the cup has been found.
17. And he said, Far be it from me to do so! The man in whose hand the cup has been found, he shall be my bondman; but as for you, go up in peace to your father.
