Genesis 44:12

He searched. The steward’s systematic search must have reminded them of their surprise the day before at finding themselves seated according to age. Also it must have kept them tense, for the lost object was not found until the very last moment of the search. One after another the men found themselves cleared. By facial expression, and perhaps even in words, they may have expressed triumph at the growing evidence of their declared innocence. But then the lost object was found in Benjamin’s sack. With anguish and alarm at this new calamity they rent their clothes (see on ch. 37:34), reloaded their asses, and returned to the city.
