Genesis 44:10

Bible in Basic English 1965

And he said, Let it be as you say: he in whose bag it is seen will become my servant; and you will not be responsible.

See the chapter Copy

Then every man quickly got his bag down and undid it.

Then he said, Far be it from me to do so: but the man who had my cup will be my servant; and you may go back to your father in peace.

So now let me be my lord's servant here in place of the boy, and let him go back with his brothers.

If it comes to light that any of your servants has done this, let him be put to death, and we will be your lord's servants.

But if it is after dawn, he will be responsible.
