Genesis 44:15-17

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹⁵ Joseph said to them, “What deed is this that you have done? Do you not know that one such as I can practice divination?”^{(A) 16} And Judah said, “What can we say to my lord? What can we speak? How can we clear ourselves? God has found out the guilt of your servants; here we are then, my lord’s slaves, both we and also the one in whose possession the cup has been found.”^{(B) 17} But he said, “Far be it from me that I should do so! Only the one in whose possession the cup was found shall be my slave, but as for you, go up in peace to your father.”
