Genesis 42:27-37 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

27. And one of them opened his sack to give his ass food in the inn, and saw his money, and behold, it was in the mouth of his sack.

28. And he said to his brethren, My money is returned to me, and behold, it is even in my sack. And their heart failed them, and they were afraid, saying one to another, What is this that God has done to us?

29. And they came into the land of Canaan, to Jacob their father, and told him all that had befallen them, saying,

30. The man, the lord of the land, spoke roughly to us, and treated us as spies of the land.

31. And we said to him, We are honest; we are not spies:

32. we are 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 land, said to us, Hereby shall I know that ye are honest: leave one of your brethren with me, and take for the hunger of your households, and go,

34. and bring your youngest brother to me, and I shall know that ye are not spies, but are honest. Your brother will I give up to you; and ye may trade in the land.

35. And it came to pass as they emptied their sacks, that behold, every man had his bundle of money in his sack; and they saw their bundles of money, they and their father, and were afraid.

36. And Jacob their father said to them, Ye have bereaved me of children: Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and ye will take Benjamin! All these things are against me.

37. And Reuben spoke to his father, saying, Slay my two sons if I bring him not back to thee: give him into my hand, and I will bring him to thee again.
