`And the man, the lord of the land, saith unto us, By this I know that ye are right men--one of your brethren leave with me, and for the famine of your houses take ye and go,
by this ye are proved: Pharaoh liveth! if ye go out from this--except by your young brother coming hither;
we are twelve brethren, sons of our father, the one is not, and the young one is to-day with our father in the land of Canaan.
