“With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, both let him die, and we also will be my lord’s bondmen.”
If any of your servants is found to have it, he will die; and the rest of us will become my lord's slaves. The brothers' proposed penalty — death for the one who has it, slavery for the rest — is the confident offer of the innocent. They do not know about the cup. The application: the confident declaration of penalty for an act one has not committed is the declaration that will be immediately tested.
