8. And Joseph discerneth his brethren, but they have not discerned him,
9. and Joseph remembereth the dreams which he dreamed of them, and saith unto them, `Ye [are] spies; to see the nakedness of the land ye have come.'
10. And they say unto him, `No, my lord, but thy servants have come to buy food;
11. we [are] all of us sons of one man, we [are] right men; thy servants have not been spies;'
12. and he saith unto them, `No, but the nakedness of the land ye have come to see;'
13. and they say, `Thy servants [are] twelve brethren; we [are] sons of one man in the land of Canaan, and lo, the young one [is] with our father to-day, and the one is not.'
14. And Joseph saith unto them, `This [is] that which I have spoken unto you, saying, Ye [are] spies,
15. by this ye are proved: Pharaoh liveth! if ye go out from this--except by your young brother coming hither;
16. send one of you, and let him bring your brother, and ye, remain ye bound, and let your words be proved, whether truth be with you: and if not--Pharaoh liveth! surely ye [are] spies;'
17. and he removeth them unto charge three days.
