Beginning with the eldest, every sack was examined, and the cup being found in Benjamin's [Genesis 44:12], they all returned in an indescribable agony of mind to the house of the governor [Genesis 44:13], throwing themselves at his feet [Genesis 44:14], with the remarkable confession, "God hath found out the iniquity of thy servants" [Genesis 44:16].
