25 Then Joseph commanded to fill their sacks with corn, and to restore every man's money into his sack, and to give them provision for the way: and thus did he unto them.
-
26 And they laded their asses with the corn, and departed thence.

-
31 And we said unto him, We are true men; we are no spies:
-
32 We be twelve brethren, sons of our father; one is not, and the youngest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan.
-
33 And the man, the lord of the country, said unto us, Hereby shall I know that ye are true men; leave one of your brethren here with me, and take food for the famine of your households, and be gone:
-
34 And bring your youngest brother unto me: then shall I know that ye are no spies, but that ye are true men: so will I deliver you your brother, and ye shall traffick in the land.
