Genesis 44:5-15

Genesis 44:5-15 NCV

The cup you have stolen is the one my master uses for drinking and for explaining dreams. You have done a very wicked thing!’ ” So the servant caught up with the brothers and said to them what Joseph had told him to say. But the brothers said to the servant, “Why do you say these things? We would not do anything like that! We brought back to you from the land of Canaan the money we found in our sacks. So surely we would not steal silver or gold from your master’s house. If you find that silver cup in the sack of one of us, then let him die, and we will be your slaves.” The servant said, “We will do as you say, but only the man who has taken the cup will become my slave. The rest of you may go free.” Then every brother quickly lowered his sack to the ground and opened it. The servant searched the sacks, going from the oldest brother to the youngest, and found the cup in Benjamin’s sack. The brothers tore their clothes to show they were afraid. Then they put their sacks back on the donkeys and returned to the city. When Judah and his brothers went back to Joseph’s house, Joseph was still there, so the brothers bowed facedown on the ground before him. Joseph said to them, “What have you done? Didn’t you know that a man like me can learn things by signs and dreams?”
