We were already on our way back home to Canaan with the grain we had bought from him...But we were then stopped by his steward...He accused us of having taken the special silver cup of his master....We knew we had not done such a thing...So we were only too pleased to have him search through our sacks filled with grain...We were confident that we would be able to prove our innocence....But then to our utter horrer the steward found his master's special silver cup in our brother Benjamin sack... We have no explanation as to how this silver cup ended up in our youngest brother Bernjamin's sack....One thing we do know: Benjamin has not taken it.... However, how can we explain that to the "Egytian" official?....We know that in his eyes Benjamin must be guilty...What will he do to him?....Will he decide that Bejamin has to become his slave?... That must never be!!... Please read the typed out attachment when you will learn that the brothers return to the city to meet up with the "Egyptian" official...

PART XLVIII
The moment the brothers, including Benjamin, return to the city, they present themselves before the "Egyptian" official. They know they are in need of his mercy as you can read in Genesis 44:14
Joseph was still in the house when Judah and his brothers came in, and they threw themselves to the ground before them.
The brothers know there is nothing they can say in their defence for the cup was found among them.
