Genesis 42:19, 33-34

Genesis 42:19 CSB

If you are honest, let one of you  be confined to the guardhouse, while the rest of you go and take grain to relieve the hunger of your households.

Genesis 42:33-34 CSB

The man who is the lord of the country said to us, ‘This is how I will know if you are honest: Leave one brother with me, take food to relieve the hunger of your households, and go. Bring back your youngest brother to me, and I will know that you are not spies but honest men. I will then give your brother back to you, and you can trade in the country.’ ”
