28 And he said to his brothers, “My money has been returned. Here it is in my sack!”Then their hearts sank, and they were afraid, saying to one another, “What is this that God has done to us?”
29 They came to Jacob their father in the land of Canaan and told him all that had happened to them, saying,
30 “The man, the lord of the land, spoke harshly to us and took us for spies of the country.
31 And we said to him, ‘We are honest men. We are not spies.
32 We are twelve brothers, all sons of our father. One is no longer living, and the youngest is with our father today in the land of Canaan.’
33 “The man, the lord of the country, said to us, ‘Here is how I may know that you are honest men. Leave one of your brothers here with me, take food for the famine of your households, and be gone.
34 But bring your youngest brother back to me. Then I will know that you are not spies, but that you are honest men. Then I will deliver your brother to you, and you may trade in the land.’ ”
