Genesis 42:29-36 ▼

29 When they reached their father Jacob (he grasps the heel) in the land of Canaan (lowland), they described to him all that had happened to them:

30 “The man who is lord of the land spoke harshly to us and accused us of spying on the country.

31 But we told him, ‘We are honest men, not spies.

32 We are twelve brothers, sons of one father. One is no more, and the youngest is now with our father in the land of Canaan (lowland).’

33 Then the man who is lord of the land said to us, ‘This is how I will know whether you⁺ are honest: Leave one brother with me, take food to relieve the hunger of your⁺ households, and go.

34 But bring your⁺ youngest brother back to me so I will know that you⁺ are not spies but honest men. Then I will give your⁺ brother back to you⁺, and you⁺ can trade in the land.’”

35 As they began emptying their sacks, there in each man’s sack was his bag of silver! And when they and their father saw the bags of silver, they were dismayed.

36 Their father Jacob (he grasps the heel) said to them, “You⁺ have deprived me of my sons. Joseph (YHWH has added) is gone and Simeon (heard) is no more. Now you⁺ want to take Benjamin (son of the right hand). Everything is going against me!”
