Context Reading
6He overtook them, and he spoke these words to them. 7They said to him, “Why does my lord speak such words as these? Far be it from your servants that they should do such a thing! 8Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks’ mouths, we brought again to you out of the land of Canaan. How then should we steal silver or gold out of your lord’s house? 9With whomever of your servants it is found, let him die, and we also will be my lord’s slaves.” 10He said, “Now also let it be according to your words. He with whom it is found will be my slave; and you will be blameless.”
