6. So he overtook them and spoke these words to them.
7. And they said to him, “Why does my master say these words? Far be it from us that your servants should do according to this word.
8. “See, we brought back to you from the land of Kena‛an the silver which we found in the mouth of our sacks. How then should we steal silver or gold from your master’s house?
9. “With whomever of your servants it is found – he shall die and we shall become my master’s slaves as well.”
10. And he said, “Now also let it be according to your words: he with whom it is found becomes my slave, and you are innocent.”
11. And they hurried, each man let down his sack to the ground, and each opened his sack.
12. And he searched, with the oldest first and with the youngest last, and the cup was found in Binyamin’s sack.
13. And they tore their garments, and each man loaded his donkey and went back to the city.
14. And Yehuḏah and his brothers came to Yosĕph’s house, and he was still there. And they fell before him on the ground.
