← Genesis 44:8	Genesis 44:9 (KJV)	Genesis 44:10 →
Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks' mouths, we brought again unto thee out of the land of Canaan: how then should we steal out of thy lord's house silver or gold?	With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, both let him die, and we also will be my lord's bondmen.	And he said, Now also [let] it [be] according unto your words: he with whom it is found shall be my servant; and ye shall be blameless.
