“And put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack’s mouth of the youngest, and his corn money. And he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken.”
Then put my cup, the silver one, in the mouth of the youngest one's sack, along with the silver for his grain. And he did as Joseph said. The cup in Benjamin's sack is the instrument of the final test: will the brothers abandon Benjamin to save themselves, as they abandoned Joseph to save themselves, or have they changed? The application: the test that places the most vulnerable person in jeopardy is the test that reveals most clearly whether the character of the group has changed.
