They said to him, "Why does my lord speak such words as these? Far be it from your servants to do such a thing! Behold, the money that we found in the mouths of our sacks we brought back to you from the land of Canaan. How then could we steal silver or gold from your lord's house?

God has found out the guilt of your servants; behold, we are my lord's servants, both we and he also in whose hand the cup has been found."
