Genesis 44:7 in Context — Genesis 44
5 N’avez-vous pas la coupe dans laquelle boit mon seigneur, et dont il se sert pour deviner? Vous avez mal fait d’agir ainsi.
6 L’intendant les atteignit, et leur dit ces mêmes paroles.
7 Ils lui répondirent: Pourquoi mon seigneur parle-t-il de la sorte? Dieu préserve tes serviteurs d’avoir commis une telle action!
8 Voici, nous t’avons rapporté du pays de Canaan l’argent que nous avons trouvé à l’entrée de nos sacs; comment aurions-nous dérobé de l’argent ou de l’or dans la maison de ton seigneur?
9 Que celui de tes serviteurs sur qui se trouvera la coupe meure, et que nous soyons nous-mêmes esclaves de mon seigneur!
