Genesis 42:31-33

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

³¹ But we said to him, “We are honest men, we are not spies. ³² We are twelve brothers, sons of our father; one is no more, and the youngest is now with our father in the land of Canaan.” ³³ Then the man, the lord of the land, said to us, “By this I shall know that you are honest men: leave one of your brothers with me, take grain for the famine of your households, and go your way.
