Lexham English Bible

³¹ But we said to him, ‘We are honest; we are not spies. ³² We are twelve brothers, the sons of our father. One is no more and the youngest is with our father now in the land of Canaan.’ ³³ Then the man, the lord of the land, said to us, ‘By this I will know that you are honest. Leave one brother with me, and take food for the famine in your households and go.
