Genesis 42:7-20
7And JosephH3130 sawH7200 his brethrenH251, and he knew them, but madeH1696 himselfH413 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 brethrenH251, but they knew notH3808 him.
9And JosephH3130 rememberedH2142 the dreamsH2472 whichH834 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.
11WeH587 are allH3605 one man’sH376 sonsH1121; weH587 are trueH3651 menH376, thy servantsH5650 are noH3808 spiesH7270.
12And he saidH559 unto them, Nay, but to seeH7200 the nakednessH6172 of the landH776 ye are comeH935.
13And they saidH559, WeH587 thy servantsH5650 are twelveH6240 brethrenH251, the sonsH1121 of one manH376 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667; and, beholdH2009, the youngestH6996 is this dayH3117 with our fatherH1, and one is notH369.
14And JosephH3130 saidH559 unto them, That is it that I spake unto youH859, sayingH559, Ye are spiesH7270:
15hereby ye shall be provedH974: by the lifeH2416 of PharaohH6547 ye shall notH2088 goH3318 forthH3318 hence, exceptH518 your youngestH6996 brotherH251 comeH935 hither.
16SendH7971 one of youH859, and letH7971 him fetch your brotherH251, and ye shall be boundH631, that your wordsH1697 may be provedH974, whetherH518 there be truthH571 in youH859: or elseH3808 by the lifeH2416 of PharaohH6547 surelyH3588 ye are spiesH7270.
17And he putH622 them allH3117 togetherH622 intoH413 ward threeH7969 daysH3117.
18And JosephH3130 saidH559 unto them the thirdH7992 dayH3117, This doH6213, and liveH2421; for I fearH3372 GodH430:
19ifH518 ye be trueH3651 men, letH3651 one of your brethrenH251 be boundH631 in your prisonH1004 houseH1004; but goH935 ye, carryH935 corn for the famineH7459 of your housesH1004:
20and bringH935 your youngestH6996 brotherH251 unto meH413; soH3651 shall your wordsH1697 be verifiedH539, and ye shall notH3808 dieH4191. And they didH6213 soH3651.
