| he overtook them, and he spake . . . these words--The steward's words must have come upon them like a thunderbolt, and one of their most predominant feelings must have been the humiliating and galling sense of being made so often objects of suspicion. Protesting their innocence, they invited a search. The challenge was accepted [Gen 44:10-11]. Beginning with the eldest, every sack was examined, and the cup being found in Benjamin's [Gen 44:12], they all returned in an indescribable agony of mind to the house of the governor [Gen 44:13], throwing themselves at his feet [Gen 44:14], with the remarkable confession, "God hath found out the iniquity of thy servants" [Gen 44:16]. |
16 And Judah [03063] said [0559], What shall we say [0559] unto my lord [0113]? what shall we speak [01696]? or how shall we clear ourselves [06663]? God [0430] hath found out [04672] the iniquity [05771] of thy servants [05650]: behold, we are my lord's [0113] servants [05650], both we, and he also [01571] with whom [0834] [03027] the cup [01375] is found [04672].
14 And Judah [03063] and his brethren [0251] came [0935] to Joseph's [03130] house [01004]; for he was yet there: and they fell [05307] before him [06440] on the ground [0776].
13 Then they rent [07167] their clothes [08071], and laded [06006] every man [0376] his ass [02543], and returned [07725] to the city [05892].
12 And he searched [02664], and began [02490] at the eldest [01419], and left [03615] at the youngest [06996]: and the cup [01375] was found [04672] in Benjamin's [01144] sack [0572].
10 And he said [0559], Now also let it be according unto your words [01697]: [03651] he with whom it is found [04672] shall be my servant [05650]; and ye shall be blameless [05355].
11 Then they speedily [04116] took down [03381] every man [0376] his sack [0572] to the ground [0776], and opened [06605] every man [0376] his sack [0572].
