01:042:012 And he said unto them, Nay, but to see the nakedness of the
land ye are come.
01:042:013 And they said, Thy servants are twelve brethren, the sons of
one man in the land of Canaan; and, behold, the youngest is this day
with our father, and one is not.
01:042:014 And Joseph said unto them, That is it that I spake unto you,
saying, Ye are spies:
01:042:015 Hereby ye shall be proved: By the life of Pharaoh ye shall
not go forth hence, except your youngest brother come hither.
01:042:016 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.
01:042:017 And he put them all together into ward three days.
01:042:018 And Joseph said unto them the third day, This do, and live;
for I fear God:
01:042:019 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:
01:042:020 But bring your youngest brother unto me; so shall your words
be verified, and ye shall not die. And they did so.
01:042:021 And they said one to another, We are verily guilty concerning
our brother, in that we saw the anguish of his soul, when he besought
us, and we would not hear; therefore is this distress come upon us.
01:042:022 And Reuben answered them, saying, Spake I not unto you,
saying, Do not sin against the child; and ye would not hear? therefore,
behold, also his blood is required.
01:042:023 And they knew not that Joseph understood them; for he spake
unto them by an interpreter.
01:042:024 And he turned himself about from them, and wept; and returned
to them again, and communed with them, and took from them Simeon, and
bound him before their eyes.
01:042:025 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.
01:042:026 And they laded their asses with the corn, and departed
thence.
01:042:027 And as one of them opened his sack to give his ass provender
in the inn, he espied his money; for, behold, it was in his sack's
mouth.
01:042:028 And he said unto his brethren, My money is restored; and, lo,
it is even in my sack: and their heart failed them, and they were
afraid, saying one to another, What is this that God hath done unto us?
01:042:029 And they came unto Jacob their father unto the land of
Canaan, and told him all that befell unto them; saying,
01:042:030 The man, who is the lord of the land, spake roughly to us,
and took us for spies of the country.
01:042:031 And we said unto him, We are true men; we are no spies:
01:042:032 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.
