Genesis 42:18-20

English Standard Version

¹⁸ On the third day Joseph said to them, “Do this and you will live, ^(A)for I fear God: ¹⁹ if you are honest men, let one of your brothers remain confined where you are in custody, and let the rest go and carry ^(B)grain for the famine of your households, ²⁰ and ^(C)bring your youngest brother to me. So your words will be verified, and you shall not die.” And they did so.
