The Punishment for Theft in Canaan:
The brothers of Yusuf said, "We belong to a noble family; we are not thieves or people of mischief. We had come from Canaan to get grain and now we are returning with the grain." Those who were pursuing them said, "That is fine, but show us your belongings, and also tell us, if by chance the stolen goods are found among any of your belongings, then what will be the punishment for that?"
The Recovery of the Cup:
They replied, "In our country, the punishment for a thief is that if the stolen goods are found among someone's belongings or in his house, then the thief is handed over to the owner of the stolen goods for a year." The guarantor said, "Alright, we accept your statement as well." Saying this, the guarantor began to search their belongings. After searching the belongings of a few brothers, when Binyamin's belongings were searched, the missing cup was found in them. Thus, the guarantor took possession of the stolen cup and also took Binyamin into his custody.
