Genesis 42:7-20

7And when JosephH3130 sawH7200 his brothersH251, he recognized themH5234, but he treated them as strangersH5234H413 and spokeH1696 harshlyH7186 to themH854. “WhereH370 have you come fromH935?” he askedH559H413.

“From the landH776 of CanaanH3667,” they repliedH559. “We are here to buyH7666 foodH400.”

8Although JosephH3130 recognizedH5234 his brothersH251, theyH1992 did notH3808 recognize himH5234. 9JosephH3130 rememberedH2142 his dreamsH2472 about them and saidH559H413, “YouH859 are spiesH7270! You have comeH935 to seeH7200 if our landH776 is vulnerableH6172.”

10“Not soH3808, my lordH113,” they repliedH559H413. “Your servantsH5650 have comeH935 to buyH7666 foodH400. 11WeH5168 are allH3605 sonsH1121 of oneH259 manH376. Your servantsH5650H587 areH1961 honestH3651 men, notH3808 spiesH7270.”

12“NoH3808H3588,” he toldH559 themH413. “You have comeH935 to seeH7200 if our landH776 is vulnerableH6172.”

13But they answeredH559, “Your servantsH5650H587 are twelveH8147H6240 brothersH251, the sonsH1121 of oneH259 manH376 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667H2009. The youngestH6996 is nowH3117 withH854 our fatherH1, and oneH259 is no moreH369.”

14Then JosephH3130H1931 declaredH559H413, “Just as I saidH1696H413H559, youH859 are spiesH7270! 15And this is howH2063 you will be testedH974: As surely as PharaohH6547 livesH2416, you shall notH518 leaveH3318 thisH2088 place unlessH3588H518 your youngestH6996 brotherH251 comesH935 hereH2008. 16SendH7971 oneH259 of your number to getH3947 your brotherH251; the rest of youH859 will be confinedH631 so that the truthH571 of your wordsH1697 may be testedH974H854. IfH518 they are untrueH3808, then as surely as PharaohH6547H3588 livesH2416, youH859 are spiesH7270!”

17So Joseph imprisoned themH622 for threeH7969 daysH3117, 18and on the thirdH7992 dayH3117 he saidH559 to themH413, “IH589 fearH3373 GodH430. So doH6213 thisH2063 and you will liveH2421: 19IfH518 youH859H251 are honestH3651, leave oneH259 of your brothers in custodyH631H1004H4929 while the rest of youH859 goH1980 and take backH935 grainH7668 to relieve the hungerH7459 of your householdsH1004. 20ThenH853 bringH935 your youngestH6996 brotherH251 to meH413 so that your wordsH1697 can be verifiedH539, that you may notH3808 dieH4191.”

And to thisH3651 they consentedH6213.
