Genesis 42:29-38 - Jacob's [Israel's] Sons Report To Him
29 And they came to Jacob their father, to the land of Canaan, and told him all that happened to them, saying, 30 The man, the lord of the land, spoke roughly to us, and took us for spies of the country. 31 And we said to him, We are honest, we are not spies. 32 We are twelve brothers, sons of our father. One is not, and the youngest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan. 33 And the man, the lord of the country, said to us, By this I shall know that you are honest. Leave one, your brother, with me, and take food for the famine of your households, and go. 34 And bring your youngest brother to me. Then I shall know that you are not spies, but that you are honest. And I will deliver you your brother, and you shall trade in the land.
35 And it happened they emptied their sacks, behold, every man's bundle of silver was in his sack. And when they and their father saw the bundles of silver, they were afraid.
36 And Jacob their father said to them, You have bereaved me. Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and you will take Benjamin. All these things are against me. 37 And Reuben spoke to his father, saying, Kill my two sons if I do not bring him to you. Deliver him into my hand, and I will bring him to you again.
38 And he said, My son shall not go down with you. For his brother is dead, and he is left alone. And if mischief should happen to him by the way you go, then you shall bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.
