29And they cameH935 unto JacobH3290 their fatherH1 unto the landH776 of CanaanH3667, and toldH5046 him all that had befallen them, sayingH559, 30The manH376, the lordH113 of the landH776, spake roughly with us, and took us for spiesH7270 of the country. 31And we saidH559 unto him, We are true men; we are no spiesH7270: 32we are twelve brethren, sonsH1121 of our fatherH1; oneH259 is not, and the youngestH6996 is this dayH3117 with our fatherH1 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667. 33And the manH376, the lordH113 of the landH776, saidH559 unto us, Hereby shall I knowH3045 that ye are true menH376: leave oneH259 of your brethren with me, and takeH3947 grain for the famine of your housesH1004, and go your way; 34and bringH935 your youngestH6996 brotherH251 unto me: then shall I knowH3045 that ye are no spiesH7270, but that ye are true men: soH3651 will I deliver you your brotherH251, and ye shall traffic in the landH776.
