9. With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, let him die, and we also will be my lord's bondmen.
10. And he said, Now also let it be according unto your words: he with whom it is found shall be my bondman; and ye shall be blameless.
11. Then they hasted, and took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack.
12. And he searched, and began at the eldest, and left at the youngest: and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.
13. Then they rent their clothes, and laded every man his ass, and returned to the city.
14. And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph's house; and he was yet there: and they fell before him on the ground.
15. And Joseph said unto them, What deed is this that ye have done? know ye not that such a man as I can indeed divine?
16. And Judah said, What shall we say unto my lord? what shall we speak? or how shall we clear ourselves? God hath found out the iniquity of thy servants: behold, we are my lord's bondmen, both we, and he also in whose hand the cup is found.
17. And he said, God forbid that I should do so: the man in whose hand the cup is found, he shall be my bondman; but as for you, get you up in peace unto your father.
18. Then Judah came near unto him, and said, Oh my lord, let thy servant, I pray thee, speak a word in my lord's ears, and let not thine anger burn against thy servant: for thou art even as Pharaoh.
