"Your Excellency," they replied, "Why do you speak like this? Far be it from your servants to act like this.

"What can we say, Your Excellency?" Judah replied. "How can we explain this or justify ourselves? God has discovered the sin of your servants, and now we've become slaves to you, Your Excellency, both we and the one in whose possession the cup has been discovered."

"You've saved our lives," they replied. "If it pleases you, your Excellency, we'll be Pharaoh's slaves."
