Genesis 42:31-34 ▼

31 So we said to him, ‘We are honest men; we are not spies.

32 We are twelve brothers, sons of our father; one is no more, and the youngest is with our father today in the land of Canaan.’

33 Then the man, the lord of the land, said to us, ‘By this I will know that you are honest men: leave one of your brothers with me and take grain for the famine of your households, and go.

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