Bible verse
If any of your servants is found to have it, he must die, and the rest will become slaves of my lord.”
Genesis 44:9 · BSB
The verses around it, from Genesis 44.
5 Is this not the cup my master drinks from and uses for divination? What you have done is wicked!’”
6 When the steward overtook them, he relayed these words to them.
7 “Why does my lord say these things?” they asked. “Your servants could not possibly do such a thing.
8 We even brought back to you from the land of Canaan the silver we found in the mouths of our sacks. Why would we steal silver or gold from your master’s house?
9 If any of your servants is found to have it, he must die, and the rest will become slaves of my lord.”
10 “As you say,” replied the steward. “But only the one who is found with the cup will be my slave, and the rest of you shall be free of blame.”
11 So each one quickly lowered his sack to the ground and opened it.
12 The steward searched, beginning with the oldest and ending with the youngest—and the cup was found in Benjamin’s sack.
13 Then they all tore their clothes, loaded their donkeys, and returned to the city.
