Genesis 44:5-10 Common English Bible (CEB)

5. Isn’t this the cup my master drinks from and uses to discover God’s plans? What you’ve done is despicable.’"

6. When he caught up to them, he repeated these words.

7. They replied, "Why does my master talk to us like this? Your servants would never do such a thing.

8. The silver that we found at the top of our sacks, we’ve just brought back to you from the land of Canaan. We didn’t steal silver or gold from your master’s house.

9. Whoever of your servants is found with it will be put to death, and we’ll be my master’s slaves."

10. He said, "Fine. We’ll do just as you’ve said. Whoever is found with it will be my slave, and the rest of you will go free."
