Genesis 44:17 in Context — Genesis 44
15 E disse-lhes José: Que obra é esta que fizestes? Não sabeis que um homem como eu sabe adivinhar?
16 Então disse Judá: Que diremos a meu senhor? Que falaremos? Ou com que nos justificaremos? Deus achou a maldade de teus servos: eis que, nós somos servos de meu senhor, nós, e também aquele em cujo poder foi achado o copo.
17 E ele respondeu: Nunca eu tal faça: o homem em cujo poder foi achado o copo, ele será meu servo; vós ide em paz a vosso pai.
18 Então Judá se chegou a ele, e disse: Ai senhor meu, rogo-te que fale teu servo uma palavra aos ouvidos de meu senhor, e não se acenda tua ira contra teu servo, pois que tu és como Faraó.
19 Meu senhor perguntou a seus servos, dizendo: Tendes pai ou irmão?
