13 They said, “Your servants are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan. The youngest is with our father today, and one is no longer living.”
14 Joseph said to them, “It is as I said to you, ‘You are spies!’
15 Here is how you will be tested. By the life of Pharaoh, you will not leave here unless your youngest brother comes here.
16 Send one of you, and let him get your brother, and you will be kept in prison, so that your words may be tested, whether there be any truth in you. Or else, by the life of Pharaoh, you are surely spies.”
17 He put them all together in custody for three days.
18 Joseph said to them the third day, “Do this and live, for I fear God.
19 If you are honest men, let one of your brothers be confined in your prison house. The rest of you go and carry grain for the famine of your households.
