No, my lord; your servants have come to buy food. We have are all sons of one man; We are honest men; your servants have never been spies We, your servants, are twelve brothers, the sons of a certain man in the land of Canaan; The youngest, however, is now with our father, and one is no more.

Simeon Reuben Judah Levi Jacob

Alas, we are paying the penalty for what we did to our brother; We saw his anguish when he pleaded with us But we would not listen. That is why this anguish has come upon us So now there comes a reckoning for his blood.

By this I shall know that you are honest me: leave one of your brothers with me. Take grain for the famine of your households, and go your way. Bring your youngest brother to me And I shall know that you are not spies but honest men. Then I will release your brother to you, and you may trade in the land.

You may kill my two sons if I do not bring him back to you Put him in my hands My son shall not go down with you, For his brother is dead, and he alone is left. If harm should come to him on the journey that you are to make, you would bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to She-ol.

The man solemnly warned us, saying, “You shall not see my face unless your brother is with you”. If you will send your brother with us, we will go down and buy you food; If you will not send him, we will not go down. Why did you treat me so badly as to tell the man that you had another brother? My son shall not go down with you
