Genesis 42:31-33

Evangelical Heritage Version

³¹ We said to him, ‘We are honest men. We are not spies. ³² We are twelve brothers, sons of our father. One brother is no more, and at the present time the youngest is with our father in the land of Canaan.’ ³³ That man, the lord of the land, said to us, ‘This is how I will know that you are honest men: Leave one of your brothers with me. Take grain to relieve the famine at your houses, and go on your way.
