Genesis 44:15-17

Living Bible

¹⁵ “What were you trying to do?” Joseph demanded. “Didn’t you know such a man as I would know who stole it?”

¹⁶ And Judah said, “Oh, what shall we say to my lord? How can we plead? How can we prove our innocence? God is punishing us for our sins. Sir, we have all returned to be your slaves, both we and he in whose sack the cup was found.”

¹⁷ “No,” Joseph said. “Only the man who stole the cup, he shall be my slave. The rest of you can go on home to your father.”
