Genesis 44:7-14 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

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.”

11. Then every brother quickly opened his sack on the ground.

12. The servant started looking in the sacks. He started with the oldest brother and ended with the youngest. He found the cup in Benjamin’s sack.

13. The brothers were very sad. They tore their clothes to show their sadness. They put their sacks back on the donkeys and went back to the city.

14. When Judah and his brothers went back to Joseph’s house, Joseph was still there. The brothers fell to the ground and bowed down before him.
