Genesis 42:27-34 English Revised Version (ERV)

27. And as one of them opened his sack to give his ass provender in the lodging place, he espied his money; and, behold, it was in the mouth of his sack.

28. 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 turned trembling one to another, saying, What is this that God hath done unto us?

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

30. The man, the lord of the land, spake roughly with us, and took us for spies of the country.

31. And we said unto him, We are true men; we are no spies:

32. 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.

33. And the man, the lord of the land, said unto us, Hereby shall I know that ye are true men; leave one of your brethren with me, and take corn for the famine of your houses, and go your way:

34. and bring your youngest brother unto me: then shall I know that ye are no spies, but that ye are true men: so will I deliver you your brother, and ye shall traffick in the land.
