Therefore, the LORD has given him over to the lion, which has mauled and killed him, just as the word of the LORD had spoken to him.' 27 Then he said to his sons, 'Saddle the donkey for me.' So they saddled the donkey. 28 He went and found the man's body lying in the road, with the donkey and the lion standing beside it.

When you catch up to them, say to them, 'Why have you repaid good with evil?' 5 'Is this not the cup my master drinks from and also uses for divination? You have done wrong in what you have done.' 6 When the steward caught up to them, he said these words to them. 7 But they replied to him, "Why does my lord say such things? Far be it from your servants to do such a thing! 8 "Look, we even brought back to you from the land of Canaan the silver we found in the mouths of our sacks. Why would we steal silver or gold from your master's house? 9 "If any of your servants is found with it, he will die, and we will also become my lord's slaves." 10 The steward replied, "Let it be as you say: whoever is found with it will become my slave, and the rest of you will be innocent." 11 Each of the men quickly lowered his sack to the ground and opened it. 12 The steward searched, starting with the oldest and ending with the youngest, and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack. 13 At this, they tore their garments, loaded each his donkey, and went back to the city. 14 Judah and his brothers arrived at Joseph's house while he was still there, and they fell to the ground before him.
