Genesis 44:10 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Let it be according unto your words— There appears a contradiction in this translation; the steward offering to accept their terms, and yet immediately proposing different ones; compare the ninth verse. Calmet is for rendering the verse thus: Certainly at present it would be just to treat you according to your own words; but he only who hath committed the theft, shall be my slave; I will take no advantage; the rest of you shall be blameless.

Genesis 44:10

10 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.
