Genesis 44:7-9

New Catholic Bible

⁷ They told him, “Why is my lord saying these things? Far be it from your servants to do such a thing! ⁸ We brought the money that we found in the mouth of the sacks back from the land of Canaan. How could we steal the silver or gold from the house of your master? ⁹ Whichever of your servants is found with it will be put to death, and we will also become the slaves of your master.”
