42:11. We are all the sons of one man: we are come as peaceable men, neither do thy servants go about any evil. 42:12. And he answered them: It is otherwise: you are come to consider the unfenced parts of this land. 42:13. But they said: We thy servants are twelve brethren, the sons of one man in the land of Chanaan: the youngest is with our father, the other is not living. 42:14. He saith, This is it that I said: You are spies. 42:15. I shall now presently try what you are: by the health of Pharao, you shall not depart hence, until your youngest brother come. 42:16. Send one of you to fetch him: and you shall be in prison, till what you have said be proved, whether it be true or false: or else by the health of Pharao you are spies. Or else by the health of Pharao you are spies. . .That is, if these things you say be proved false, you are to be held for spies for your lying, and shall be treated as such. Joseph dealt in this manner with his brethren, to bring them by the means of affliction to a sense of their former sin, and a sincere repentance for it. 42:17. So he put them in prison three days. 42:18. And the third day he brought them out of prison, and said: Do as I have said, and you shall live: for I fear God. 42:19. If you be peaceable men, let one of your brethren be bound in prison: and go ye your ways, and carry the corn that you have bought, unto your houses. 42:20. And bring your youngest brother to me, that I may find your words to be true, and you may not die. They did as he had said. 42:21. And they talked one to another: We deserve to suffer these things, because we have sinned against our brother, seeing the anguish of his soul, when he besought us, and we would not hear: therefore is this affliction come upon us. 42:22. And Ruben, one of them, said: Did not I say to you: Do not sin against the boy; and you would not hear me? Behold his blood is required. 42:23. And they knew not that Joseph understood, because he spoke to them by an interpreter. 42:24. And he turned himself away a little while, and wept: and returning, he spoke to them. 42:25. And taking Simeon, and binding him in their presence, he commanded his servants to fill their sacks with wheat, and to put every man's money again in their sacks, and to give them besides provisions for the way: and they did so. 42:26. But they having loaded their asses with the corn went their way. 42:27. And one of them opening his sack, to give his beast provender in the inn, saw the money in the sack's mouth, 42:28. And said to his brethren: My money is given me again; behold it is in the sack. And they were astonished, and troubled, and said to one another: What is this that God hath done unto us? 42:29. And they came to Jacob their father in the land of Chanaan, and they told him all things that had befallen them, saying: 42:30. The lord of the land spoke roughly to us, and took us to be spies of the country.
