Context
14And Joseph said unto them, That that I spake unto you, saying, Ye spies:
15Hereby ye shall be proved: By the life of Pharaoh ye shall not go forth hence, except your youngest brother come hither.
16Send one of you, and let him fetch your brother, and ye shall be kept in prison, that your words may be proved, whether truth in you: or else by the life of Pharaoh surely ye spies.
17And he put them all together into ward three days.
18And Joseph said unto them the third day, This do, and live; I fear God:
19If ye true let one of your brethren be bound in the house of your prison: go ye, carry corn for the famine of your houses:
20But bring your youngest brother unto me; so shall your words be verified, and ye shall not die. And they did so.
