Genesis 42:29-34

29And they cameH935 into the landH776 of CanaanH3667, to JacobH3290 their fatherH1, and toldH5046 him all that had befallen them, sayingH559,

30The manH376, the lordH113 of the landH776, spokeH1696 roughly to us, and treated us as spiesH7270 of the landH776.

31And we saidH559 to him, We are honest; we are not 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 to us, Hereby shall I knowH3045 that ye are honest: leave oneH259 of your brethren with me, and takeH3947 [for] the hunger of your householdsH1004, and go,

34and bringH935 your youngestH6996 brotherH251 to me, and I shall knowH3045 that ye are not spiesH7270, but are honest. Your brotherH251 will I giveH5414 up to you; and ye may trade in the landH776.
