Matthew Poole and continuators on Genesis 44:12

12 And he searched, and began at the eldest and left at the youngest: and the cup was found in Benjamins sack.

To take off all their suspicion of his fraud.

He found doubtless the money there, but he accused them not about that matter, both because they had an answer ready to that charge from his own mouth, chap. 43. 23. and because the greater crime, the stealing of the cup which Ioseph so much prized and used, might seem to extinguish the less, or at least cause him to neglect it.
