We told him, ‘We’re honest men, not spies.
And we answered him: 'We are peaceful, and we do not intend any treachery.
And we answered him: We are peaceable men, and we mean no plot.
We are all brothers—we all have the same father. We are honest men. We have come only to buy food.”
We told him that we were twelve brothers. We told him about our father, and we told him about our youngest brother who was still at home in Canaan.
