Joseph's silver cup tests the brothers; Judah intercedes
Joseph's steward placed the silver cup in Benjamin's sack, and the brothers were brought back under accusation. Judah offered himself in Benjamin's place rather than bring their father down to the grave in sorrow (Genesis 44:1-34).

📖 Genesis 44:1–3
1Then Joseph instructed his steward: “Fill the men’s sacks with as much food as they can carry, and put each one’s silver in the mouth of his sack. 2Put my cup, the silver one, in the mouth of the youngest one’s sack, along with the silver for his grain.” So the steward did as Joseph had instructed. 3At daybreak, the men were sent on their way with their donkeys.
