Genesis 44:9-16 World English Bible (WEB)

9. With whomever of your servants it is found, let him die, and we also will be my lord’s slaves.”

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

11. Then they hurried, and each man took his sack down to the ground, and each man opened his sack.

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

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

14. Judah and his brothers came to Joseph’s house, and he was still there. They fell on the ground before him.

15. Joseph said to them, “What deed is this that you have done? Don’t you know that such a man as I can indeed divine?”

16. Judah said, “What will we tell my lord? What will we speak? Or how will we clear ourselves? God has found out the iniquity of your servants. Behold, we are my lord’s slaves, both we, and he also in whose hand the cup is found.”
