29And they cameH935 unto JacobH3290 their fatherH1 unto the landH776 of CanaanH3667, and toldH5046 him allH3605 that had befallen them; sayingH559,

30The manH376, the lordH113 of the landH776, spake roughly with usH5414, and tookH853 usH5414 for spiesH7270 of the countryH776.

31And weH587 saidH559 unto him, WeH587 are trueH3651 menH559; weH587 are noH3808 spiesH7270:

32weH587 be twelveH6240 brethrenH251, sonsH1121 of our fatherH1; one is notH369, and the youngestH6996 is this dayH3117 with our fatherH1 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667.

33And the manH376, the lordH113 of the landH776, saidH559 unto usH413, Hereby shall I knowH3045 that ye are trueH3651 menH376; leaveH3240 one of your brethrenH251 with meH413, and takeH3947 corn for the famineH7459 of your housesH1004, and goH3240 your wayH2063:

34and bringH935 your youngestH6996 brotherH251 unto meH413: then shall I knowH3045 that ye are noH3808 spiesH7270, but that ye are trueH3651 men: soH3651 will I deliverH5414 youH859 your brotherH251, and ye shall traffick in the landH776.
