Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks’ mouths, we brought again unto thee out of the land of Canaan: how then should we steal out of thy lord’s house silver or gold?
Mira, trajimos de vuelta el dinero que encontramos en nuestros costales cuando regresamos de Canaán. ¿Por qué robaríamos plata u oro de la casa de tu señor?
Los hermanos argumentan su inocencia recordando que devolvieron el dinero encontrado anteriormente en sus costales.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the biblical narrative of Genesis, Joseph's brothers had previously traveled to Egypt during a famine to buy grain and discovered money in their sacks, which they honestly returned to the Egyptian officials. This act of integrity is now being referenced as they face a new accusation of stealing a silver cup from Joseph's household, with the brothers arguing that their past behavior proves they are not thieves. The story highlights the cultural emphasis in ancient Near Eastern societies on honor and truthfulness in transactions, especially amid suspicions that could lead to severe punishments.
