17 Then Joseph put all ten of his brothers in prison for three days.
18 Three days later, Joseph had come up with a different plan.
Joseph (to his brothers): Do what I am about to say and you will live, because I am a man who respects God. 19 If you really are honest men, then I will choose one of your brothers to stay here in prison. The rest of you may go and carry grain to your families who are suffering because of the famine.
