My glass is half - hold on somebody has nicked it!

Genesis Chapter 44

Joseph plays one more trick on his brothers, first he gives them as much grain as they can carry, tops it off with the silver from this trip and last trip, and tops off Benjamin’s sack with his own silver cup.

The Bible mentions that Joseph uses this cup for divination, but I don't honestly know if Joseph actually tried this sort of thing

He then lets them go but sends people after them threatening slavery for the guilty person but the rest can go free.
Benjamin is found red handed and they all return to Egypt but now Judah steps in to try and protect him to spare his father.

Tell you what, the Bible chapter setting allows some pretty impressive cliffhangers!
