Genesis 42

11  We are all one man's sons; we are true men, thy servants are no spies.

12  And he said unto them, Nay, but to see the nakedness of the land ye are come.

13  And they said, We thy servants are twelve brethren, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and, behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is not.

14  And Joseph said unto them, That is it that I spake unto you, saying, Ye are spies:

15  Hereby ye shall be proved: by the life of Pharaoh ye shall not go forth hence, except your youngest brother come hither.

16  Send one of you, and let him fetch your brother, and ye shall be bound, that your words may be proved, whether there be truth in you: or else by the life of Pharaoh surely ye are spies.

17  And he put them all together into ward three days.

18  And Joseph said unto them the third day, This do, and live: for I fear God:

19  If ye be true men, let one of your brethren be bound in your prison-house; but go ye, carry grain for the famine of your houses:

20  And bring your youngest brother unto me; so shall your words be verified, and ye shall not die. And they did so.
