Genesis 42:19-21
International Standard Version
19 If you’re honest men, leave one of your brothers here in custody, then the rest of[a] you can leave and take some grain with you[b] to alleviate the famine that’s affecting your households. 20 Just be sure to bring your youngest brother back to me so what you’ve claimed can be verified. That way, you won’t die.”
