Genesis 44:14-18 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

14. When Judah and his brothers came to Joseph's house, he was still there, and they fell to the ground before him.

15. Joseph said to them, "What is this deed that you have done? Do you not know that such a man as I can indeed practice divination?"

16. So Judah said, "What can we say to my lord? What can we speak? And how can we justify ourselves? God has found out the iniquity of your servants; behold, we are my lord's slaves, both we and the one in whose possession the cup has been found."

17. But he said, "Far be it from me to do this. The man in whose possession the cup has been found, he shall be my slave; but as for you, go up in peace to your father."

18. Then Judah approached him, and said, "Oh my lord, may your servant please speak a word in my lord's ears, and do not be angry with your servant; for you are equal to Pharaoh.
