Genesis 42:15-20
-
15 Hereby ye shall be proved: By the life of Pharaoh ye shall not go forth hence, except your youngest brother come hither.
-
16 Send one of you, and let him fetch your brother, and ye shall be kept in prison, that your words may be proved, whether there be any truth in you: or else by the life of Pharaoh surely ye are spies.
-
17 And he put them all together into ward three days.
-
18 And Joseph said unto them the third day, This do, and live; for I fear God:
-
19 If ye be true men, let one of your brethren be bound in the house of your prison: go ye, carry corn for the famine of your houses:
-
20 But bring your youngest brother unto me; so shall your words be verified, and ye shall not die. And they did so.
