Genesis 44:7-9

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁷ And they answered: Why doth our lord speak so, as though thy servants had committed so heinous a fact?

⁸ The money, that we found in the top of our sacks, we brought back to thee from the land of Chanaan: how then should it be that we should steal out of thy lord's house, gold or silver?

⁹ With whomsoever of thy servants shall be found that which thou seekest, let him die, and we will be the bondmen of my lord.
