17. Therefore, he delivered them into custody for three days.
18. Then, on the third day, he brought them out of prison, and he said: "Do as I have said, and you will live. For I fear God.
19. If you are peaceful, let one of your brothers be bound in prison. Then you may go away and carry the grain that you have bought to your houses.
20. And bring your youngest brother to me, so that I may be able to test your words, and you may not die." They did as he had said,
21. and they spoke to one another: "We deserve to suffer these things, because we have sinned against our brother, seeing the anguish of his soul, when he begged us and we would not listen. For that reason, this tribulation has come upon us."
