Genesis 42:7-20
7And JosephH3130 sawH7200 his brethrenH251, and he knewH5234 them, but made himself strangeH5234 to them, and spokeH1696 roughlyH7186 to them; and he saidH559 to them, WhereH370 do you comeH935 from? And they saidH559, From the landH776 of CanaanH3667 to buyH7666 foodH400.1 8And JosephH3130 knewH5234 his brethrenH251, but they knewH5234 not him. 9And JosephH3130 rememberedH2142 the dreamsH2472 which he dreamedH2492 of them, and saidH559 to them, Ye are spiesH7270; to seeH7200 the nakednessH6172 of the landH776 have ye comeH935. 10And they saidH559 to him, No, my lordH113, but to buyH7666 foodH400 have thy servantsH5650 comeH935. 11WeH5168 are all oneH259 man’sH376 sonsH1121; we are honestH3651 men, thy servantsH5650 are no spiesH7270. 12And he saidH559 to them, No, but to seeH7200 the nakednessH6172 of the landH776 have ye comeH935. 13And they saidH559, Thy servantsH5650 are twelveH8147H6240 brethrenH251, the sonsH1121 of oneH259 manH376 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667; and, behold, the youngestH6996 is this dayH3117 with our fatherH1, and oneH259 is not. 14And JosephH3130 saidH559 to them, That is what I spokeH1696 to you, sayingH559, Ye are spiesH7270: 15By thisH2063 ye shall be provedH974: By the lifeH2416 of PharaohH6547 ye shall not go forthH3318 from here, except your youngestH6996 brotherH251 shall comeH935 here. 16SendH7971 oneH259 of you, and let him bringH3947 your brotherH251, and ye shall be kept in prisonH631, that your wordsH1697 may be provedH974, whether there is any truthH571 inH854 you: or elseH3808 by the lifeH2416 of PharaohH6547 surely ye are spiesH7270.2 17And he put them all togetherH622 into prisonH4929 threeH7969 daysH3117.3 18And JosephH3130 saidH559 to them the thirdH7992 dayH3117, This doH6213, and liveH2421; for I fearH3373 GodH430: 19If ye are honestH3651 men, let oneH259 of your brethrenH251 be boundH631 in the houseH1004 of your prisonH4929: goH3212 ye, carryH935 grainH7668 for the famineH7459 of your housesH1004: 20But bringH935 your youngestH6996 brotherH251 to me; so shall your wordsH1697 be verifiedH539, and ye shall not dieH4191. And they didH6213 so.
