Genesis 42:9-13 ▼

9 Joseph remembered the dreams he had dreamed about them, and said to them, “You are spies; you have come [with a malicious purpose] to observe the undefended parts of our land.”

10 But they said to him, “No, my lord, for your servants have [only] come to buy food.

11 We are all the sons of one man; we are honest men, your servants are not spies.”

12 Yet he said to them, “No, you have come to see the undefended parts of our land.”

13 But they said, “Your servants are twelve brothers [in all], the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; please listen: the youngest is with our father today, and one is no longer alive.”
