Genesis 42

9 Ref and Joseph remembereth the dreams which he dreamed of them, and saith unto them, `Ye `are' spies; to see the nakedness of the land ye have come.'

10 Ref And they say unto him, `No, my lord, but thy servants have come to buy food;

11 Ref we `are' all of us sons of one man, we `are' right men; thy servants have not been spies;'

12 and he saith unto them, `No, but the nakedness of the land ye have come to see;'

13 Ref and they say, `Thy servants `are' twelve brethren; we `are' sons of one man in the land of Canaan, and lo, the young one `is' with our father to-day, and the one is not.'

14 Ref And Joseph saith unto them, `This `is' that which I have spoken unto you, saying, Ye `are' spies,

15 Ref by this ye are proved: Pharaoh liveth! if ye go out from this -- except by your young brother coming hither;

16 Ref send one of you, and let him bring your brother, and ye, remain ye bound, and let your words be proved, whether truth be with you: and if not -- Pharaoh liveth! surely ye `are' spies;'

17 Ref and he removeth them unto charge three days.

18 Ref And Joseph saith unto them on the third day, `This do and live; God I fear!
