Genesis 42:7-20
7And JosephH3130 sawH7200 his brethren, and he knew them, but made himself strange unto them, and spake roughly with them; and he saidH559 unto them, Whence comeH935 ye? And they saidH559, From the landH776 of CanaanH3667 to buyH7666 foodH400. 8And JosephH3130 knew his brethren, but they knew not him. 9And JosephH3130 rememberedH2142 the dreamsH2472 which he dreamedH2492 of them, and saidH559 unto them, Ye are spiesH7270; to seeH7200 the nakednessH6172 of the landH776 ye are comeH935. 10And they saidH559 unto him, Nay, my lordH113, but to buyH7666 foodH400 are thy servantsH5650 comeH935. 11We are all oneH259 man’sH376 sonsH1121; we are true menH376, thy servantsH5650 are no spiesH7270. 12And he saidH559 unto them, Nay, but to seeH7200 the nakednessH6172 of the landH776 ye are comeH935. 13And they saidH559, We thy servantsH5650 are twelve brethren, the sonsH1121 of oneH259 manH376 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667; and, behold, the youngestH6996 is this dayH3117 with our fatherH1, and oneH259 is not. 14And JosephH3130 saidH559 unto them, That is it that I spake unto you, sayingH559, Ye are spiesH7270: 15hereby ye shall be proved: by the lifeH2416 of PharaohH6547 ye shall not goH3318 forthH3318 hence, except your youngestH6996 brotherH251 comeH935 hither. 16SendH7971 oneH259 of you, and let him fetch your brotherH251, and ye shall be boundH631, that your wordsH1697 may be proved, whether there be truthH571 in you: or else by the lifeH2416 of PharaohH6547 surely ye are spiesH7270. 17And he put them all together into ward threeH7969 daysH3117.
18And JosephH3130 saidH559 unto them the thirdH7992 dayH3117, This do, and liveH2421; for I fearH3372 GodH430: 19if ye be true men, let oneH259 of your brethren be boundH631 in your prison-house; but goH935 ye, carry grainH7668 for the famine of your housesH1004: 20and bringH935 your youngestH6996 brotherH251 unto me; soH3651 shall your wordsH1697 be verified, and ye shall not dieH4191. And they did soH3651.
