Genesis 44:10

WEB

He said, "Now also let it be according to your words: he with whom it is found will be my bondservant; and you will be blameless."

KJV

And he said, Now also let it be according unto your words: he with whom it is found shall be my servant; and ye shall be blameless.

Commentary

And he said, now also let it be according unto your words,.... Not according to the full extent of their words, bu t according to a part of them; that be only should be a servant that was found guilty; so moderating the punishment which they had fixed, and were willing to submit to, and therefore could not object to what he next proposes: he with whom it is found shall be my servant; speaking in the name of Joseph, whom he represented, and who had directed him what to say: and ye shall be blameless; acquitted of the charge, and pronounced innocent, and let go free.
