Genesis 44:2-17

² And put my cup, my silver cup, in the youngest one's bag, with his money. So he did as Joseph said. ³ And at dawn the men, with their asses, were sent away. ⁴ And when they had gone only a little way out of the town, Joseph said to the servant who was over his house, Go after them; and when you overtake them, say to them, Why have you done evil in reward for good? ⁵ Is not this the cup from which my lord takes wine and by which he gets knowledge of the future? Truly, you have done evil. ⁶ So he overtook them and said these words to them. ⁷ And they said to him, Why does my lord say such words as these? far be it from your servants to do such a thing: ⁸ See, the money which was in the mouth of our bags we gave back to you when we came again from Canaan: how then might we take silver or gold from your lord's house? ⁹ If it comes to light that any of your servants has done this, let him be put to death, and we will be your lord's servants. ¹⁰ And he said, Let it be as you say: he in whose bag it is seen will become my servant; and you will not be responsible. ¹¹ Then every man quickly got his bag down and undid it. ¹² And he made a search, starting with the oldest and ending with the youngest; and the cup was in Benjamin's bag. ¹³ Then in bitter grief they put the bags on the asses again and went back to the town. ¹⁴ So Judah and his brothers came to Joseph's house; and he was still there: and they went down on their faces before him. ¹⁵ And Joseph said, What is this thing which you have done? had you no thought that such a man as I would have power to see what is secret? ¹⁶ And Judah said, What are we to say to my lord? how may we put ourselves right in his eyes? God has made clear the sin of your servants: now we are in your hands, we and the man in whose bag your cup was seen. ¹⁷ Then he said, Far be it from me to do so: but the man who had my cup will be my servant; and you may go back to your father in peace.
