Genesis 44:6-8

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁶ When he overtook them, he repeated these words to them. ⁷ They said to him, ‘Why does my lord speak such words as these? Far be it from your servants that they should do such a thing! ⁸ Look, the money that we found at the top of our sacks, we brought back to you from the land of Canaan; why then would we steal silver or gold from your lord’s house?
