12And he made a search, starting with the oldest and ending with the youngest; and the cup was in Benjamin's bag.
13Then in bitter grief they put the bags on the asses again and went back to the town.
14So Judah and his brothers came to Joseph's house; and he was still there: and they went down on their faces before him.
15And Joseph said, What is this thing which you have done? had you no thought that such a man as I would have power to see what is secret?
16And Judah said, What are we to say to my lord? how may we put ourselves right in his eyes? God has made clear the sin of your servants: now we are in your hands, we and the man in whose bag your cup was seen.
17Then 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.
18Then Judah came near him, and said, Let your servant say a word in my lord's ears, and let not your wrath be burning against your servant: for you are in the place of Pharaoh to us.
