Genesis 42:19-21

Lexham English Bible

¹⁹ If you are honest, let one of your brothers be kept in prison where you are now being kept,^[a] but the rest of you go, carry grain for the famine for your households. ²⁰ You must bring your youngest brother to me, and then your words will be confirmed and you will not die.” And they did so. ²¹ Then each said to his brother, “Surely we are guilty on account of our brother when we saw the anguish of his soul when he pleaded for mercy to us and we would not listen. Therefore this trouble has come to us.”
