Genesis 44:11-13

44:11 So each man quickly lowered his sack to the ground and opened it. 44:12 Then the man searched. He began with the oldest and finished with the youngest. The cup was found in Benjamin’s sack! 44:13 They all tore their clothes! Then each man loaded his donkey, and they returned to the city.


tn Heb “and they hurried and they lowered.” Their speed in doing this shows their presumption of innocence.

tn Heb “and he”; the referent (the man who was in charge of Joseph’s household) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
