Discovery BoxGenesis 20:6 
Context20:6 Then in the dream God replied to him, “Yes, I know that you have done this with a clear conscience. 1 That is why I have kept you 2 from sinning against me and why 3 I did not allow you to touch her.
Genesis 44:16
Context44:16 Judah replied, “What can we say 4 to my lord? What can we speak? How can we clear ourselves? 5 God has exposed the sin of your servants! 6 We are now my lord’s slaves, we and the one in whose possession the cup was found.”
1 tn Heb “with the integrity of your heart.”
2 tn Heb “and I, even I, kept you.”
3 tn Heb “therefore.”
4 tn The imperfect verbal form here indicates the subject’s potential.
5 tn The Hitpael form of the verb צָדֵק (tsadeq) here means “to prove ourselves just, to declare ourselves righteous, to prove our innocence.”
6 sn God has exposed the sin of your servants. The first three questions are rhetorical; Judah is stating that there is nothing they can say to clear themselves. He therefore must conclude that they have been found guilty.
