9 Furthermore, Joseph remembered the dreams that he had about them. So he accused them, |You're spies! You've come here to spy on our undefended territories!| 10 |No, your majesty,| they replied. |Your servants have come here to buy food. 11 We're all sons of a common father. We're honest men, your majesty. We're not spies!| 12 But Joseph kept insisting, |It's just as I've said—you've come here to spy on our unguarded territories!| 13 |But your majesty,| they pleaded, |your servants include twelve brothers, the sons of a common father back in the land of Canaan. Please! Our youngest brother remains with our father, and the other one is no longer alive.| Genesis 42:9-13, Intl. Standard Version. Copyright © 1995-2014 by ISV Foundation.
