Genesis 42:15-20

¹⁵And this is how you will be tested: As surely as Pharaoh lives, you shall not leave this place unless your youngest brother comes here.

¹⁶Send one of your number to get your brother; the rest of you will be confined so that the truth of your words may be tested. If they are untrue, then as surely as Pharaoh lives, you are spies!”

¹⁷So Joseph imprisoned them for three days,

¹⁸and on the third day he said to them, “I fear God. So do this and you will live:

¹⁹If you are honest, leave one of your brothers in custody while the rest of you go and take back grain to relieve the hunger of your households.

²⁰Then bring your youngest brother to me so that your words can be verified, that you may not die.” And to this they consented.
