“ Then the man who is the governor of the land spoke to us. He said,‘ Here’s how I will know whether you are honest men. Leave one of your brothers here with me. Take food for your hungry families and go.But bring your youngest brother to me. Then I’ll know that you are honest men and not spies. I’ll give your brother back to you. And you will be free to trade in the land.’ ”
