Genesis 44:10

And he said, Now also [let] it [be] according unto your words: he with whom it is found shall be my servant; and ye shall be blameless.

And he said {H559}, Now also let it be according unto your words {H1697}:{H3651} he with whom it is found {H4672} shall be my servant {H5650}; and ye shall be blameless {H5355}.

He replied, "Fine; let it be as you have said: whichever one it is found with will be my slave. But the rest of you will be blameless."

“As you say,” replied the steward. “But only the one who is found with the cup will be my slave, and the rest of you shall be free of blame.”

And he said, Now also let it be according unto your words: he with whom it is found shall be my bondman; and ye shall be blameless.
