What does the Bible say about the cup of sin in Genesis 44?

Answered in 1 source

The cup in Genesis 44 symbolizes sin and the justice due for it, as shown in the story of Joseph and Benjamin.

In Genesis 44, Joseph commands that his silver cup, which symbolizes the sin and justice owed for sin, be placed in Benjamin's sack. This act serves as a type, foreshadowing the greater reality of Christ who knew no sin but was made sin for us. Through this narrative, we see that the cup represents the justice that must be met for sin, a concept echoed in the New Testament as Christ willingly bore our sins upon the cross (Isaiah 53:6).
