Genesis 42:26-34

26And they loaded their asses with their grain, and departed thence.

27And one of them opened his sack to give his ass food in the inn, and saw his money, and behold, it was in the mouth of his sack.

28And he said to his brethren, My money is returned [to me], and behold, it is even in my sack. And their heart failed [them], and they were afraid, saying one to another, What is this [that] 1God has done to us?

29And they came into the land of Canaan, to Jacob their father, and told him all that had befallen them, saying,

30The man, the lord of the land, spoke roughly to us, and treated us as spies of the land.

31And we said to him, We are honest; we are not spies:

32we are twelve brethren, sons of our father; one is not, and the youngest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan.

33And the man, the lord of the land, said to us, Hereby shall I know that ye are honest: leave one of your brethren with me, and take [for] the hunger of your households, and go,

34and bring your youngest brother to me, and I shall know that ye are not spies, but are honest. Your brother will I give up to you; and ye may trade in the land.
