Genesis 44:8-10

International Standard Version

⁸ Look, we brought back to you from the land of Canaan the money that we found at the top of our sacks. How, then, could we have stolen silver or gold from your master’s palace? ⁹ Go ahead and execute whichever one of your servants is discovered to have it, and we’ll remain as your master’s slaves.”

¹⁰ “Agreed,” he responded. “Just as you’ve said, the one who is found to have it in his possession will become my slave, and the rest of^[a] you will be innocent.”
