5. The cup which you have stolen is that in which my lord drinketh, and in which he is wont to divine: you have done a very evil thing.
6. He did as he had commanded him. And having overtaken them, he spoke to them the same words.
7. And they answered: Why doth our lord speak so, as though thy servants had committed so heinous a fact?
8. The money, that we found in the top of our sacks, we brought back to thee from the land of Chanaan: how then should it be that we should steal out of thy lord's house, gold or silver?
9. With whomsoever of thy servants shall be found that which thou seekest, let him die, and we will be the bondmen of my lord.
