Genesis 42:9-13 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

9. Joseph remembered what he had dreamed about them and said, “You're spies! You've come here to find out where our country is weak.”

10. “No sir,” they replied. “We're your servants, and we have only come to buy grain.

11. We're honest men, and we come from the same family—we're not spies.”

12. “That isn't so!” Joseph insisted. “You've come here to find out where our country is weak.”

13. But they explained, “Sir, we come from a family of twelve brothers. The youngest is still with our father in Canaan, and one of our brothers is dead.”
