Genesis 44:7-9

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁷ They said to him, “Why does my lord say these things? Your servants could not possibly do such a thing. ⁸ We even brought back to you from the land of Canaan the money we found at the top of our bags. How could we steal gold and silver from your master’s house? ⁹ If any of us is^[a] found to have it, he must die, and we also will become my lord’s slaves.”^(A)
