New Testament

Genesis 44:8-13 Modern English Version (MEV)

8. Look, we brought back to you from the land of Canaan the money that we found in the top of our sacks. Why then would we steal silver or gold from your lord’s house?

9. Whichever of your servants is found with it shall die, and the rest of us will become my lord’s slaves.”

10. He said, “Now let it also be according to your words. He with whom it is found shall be my slave, and you will be blameless.”

11. Then every man hurriedly took down his sack to the ground, and every man opened his sack.

12. He searched, beginning with the oldest and ending with the youngest. The cup was found in Benjamin’s sack.

13. Then they tore their clothes, and every man loaded his donkey and returned to the city.
