Genesis 42:14-16

Good News Translation

¹⁴ “It is just as I said,” Joseph answered. “You are spies. ¹⁵ This is how you will be tested: I swear by the name of the king that you will never leave unless your youngest brother comes here. ¹⁶ One of you must go and get him. The rest of you will be kept under guard until the truth of what you say can be tested. Otherwise, as sure as the king lives, you are spies.”
