Genesis 44:5-10 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

5. My master drinks from that cup, and he uses it to learn secret things. What you did was wrong!’”

6. So the servant obeyed. He rode out to the brothers and stopped them. The servant said to them what Joseph had told him to say.

7. But the brothers said to the servant, “Why does the governor say these things? We wouldn’t do anything like that!

8. We brought back the money that we found in our sacks before. So surely we wouldn’t steal silver or gold from your master’s house.

9. If you find the silver cup in any of our sacks, let that man die. You can kill him, and we will be your slaves.”

10. The servant said, “I agree, except that only the man who is found to have the cup will be my slave. The others will be free.”
