29 And they will come to Jacob their father, to the land of Canaan, and they will announce to him all having happened to them, saying,

30 The man, the lord of the land, spake to us hard things, and he will give us for spying the land.

31 And we shall say to him, We are true; we were not spying;

32 We are twelve brethren, sons of our father: one is not, and the little one, he with our father in the land of Canaan.

33 And the man, the lord of the land, will say to us, In this I shall know that ye are true; leave one of your brethren with me, and take for the famine of your houses and go.

34 And bring your little brother to me, and I shall know that ye are not spying, but ye are true: I will give to you your brother and ye shall traffic in the land.

35 And it will be in their emptying their sacks, and behold, the bundle of silver of each in his sack: and they will see the bundles of their silver, they and their father, and they will be afraid.

36 And Jacob their father will say to them, Me ye bereaved of children: Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and ye will take Benjamin: all these things were against me.
