Genesis 42:32-34

Living Bible

³² We are twelve brothers, sons of one father; one is dead, and the youngest is with our father in the land of Canaan.’ ³³ Then the man told us, ‘This is the way I will find out if you are what you claim to be. Leave one of your brothers here with me and take grain for your families and go on home, ³⁴ but bring your youngest brother back to me. Then I shall know whether you are spies or honest men; if you prove to be what you say, then I will give you back your brother and you can come as often as you like to purchase grain.’”
