Genesis 42:31-33

International Standard Version

³¹ But we told him, ‘No! We’re honest men! We’re not spies! ³² Our father has twelve sons, but one of us isn’t alive anymore, and our youngest brother is with our father today back home in^[a] Canaan.’ ³³ But the man who was in charge of the land responded, ‘I’m going to test your honesty. Leave one of your brothers with me, take some grain for the famine that’s afflicting your households, and leave.
