We are all brothers. We are not spies, sir, we are honest men.”
They said, “We were twelve brothers in all, sir, sons of the same man in the land of Canaan. One brother is dead, and the youngest is now with our father.”
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.
He came here to deceive you and to find out everything you do and everywhere you go. Surely you know that!”
