Printed Caption:
Joseph's
Cup is found in Benjamin's sack.
Genesis 44:12-16
And he searched,
and began at the eldest, and left at the youngest:
and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack. Then they rent their
clothes, and laded every man his ass, and returned to the
city. And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph's house; for
he was yet there: and they fell before him on the ground.
And Joseph said unto them, What deed is this that ye
have done? wot ye not that such a man as I can certainly divine?
And Judah said, What shall we say unto my lord? what shall
we speak? or how shall we clear ourselves? God hath found
out the iniquity of thy servants: behold, we are my
lord's servants, both we, and he also with whom the
cup is found. (KJV)
