Genesis 42:11-17 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

11. “We are all one man’s sons, we are trustworthy, your servants are not spies.”

12. But he said to them, “No, but you have come to see the nakedness of the land.”

13. And they said, “Your servants are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Kena‛an. And see, the youngest is with our father today, and one is no more.”

14. And Yosĕph said to them, “It is as I spoke to you, saying, ‘You are spies!’

15. “By this you shall be proven: By the life of Pharaoh, you do not leave this place unless your youngest brother comes here.

16. “Send one of you, and let him bring your brother, while you are kept in prison. So let your words be proven to see whether there is any truth in you, or else, by the life of Pharaoh, you are spies!”

17. And he put them all together in prison for three days.
