Genesis 42:12-17 Amplified Bible (AMP)

12. And he said to them, No, but you have come to see the nakedness of the land.

13. But they said, Your servants are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; the youngest is today with our father, and one is not.

14. And Joseph said to them, It is as I said to you, You are spies.

15. You shall be proved by this test: by the life of Pharaoh, you shall not go away from here unless your youngest brother comes here.

16. Send one of you and let him bring your brother, and you will be kept in prison, that your words may be proved whether there is any truth in you; or else by the life of Pharaoh you certainly are spies.

17. Then he put them all in custody for three days.
