Genesis 42:32-34

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

³² We were twelve brothers, sons of the same^[a] father. One is no longer living, and the youngest is now with our father in the land of Canaan.” ³³ The man who is the lord of the country said to us, “This is how I will know if you are honest: leave one brother with me, take food to relieve the hunger of your households, and go. ³⁴ Bring back your youngest brother to me, and I will know that you are not spies but honest men. I will then give your brother back to you, and you can trade in the country.” ’
