— Genesis 42:12, Catholic Public Domain Version
“And he said unto them, Nay, but to see the nakedness of the land ye are come.”
“And he said unto them, Nay, but to see the nakedness of the land ye are come. ”
“He said to them, "No, but you have come to see the nakedness of the land!"”
““No,” he insisted,“but you have come to see if our land is vulnerable.””
“And he answered them: It is otherwise: you are come to consider the unfenced parts of this land.”
“And he said to them, No, but you have come to see how poor the land is.”
“And he said unto them, Nay, but to see the nakedness of the land ye are come.”
And remembering the dreams, which he had seen in another time, he said to them: “You are scouts. You have come in order to see which parts of the land are weaker.”
And they said: “It is not so, my lord. But your servants have arrived in order to buy food.
We are all sons of one man. We have come in peace, nor do any of your subjects devise evil.”
And he answered them: “It is otherwise. You have come to examine the unguarded parts of this land.”
But they said: “We, your servants, are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan. The youngest is with our father; the other is not living.”
He said: “This is just as I have said. You are scouts.
I will now continue to put you to the test. By the health of Pharaoh, you will not depart from here, until your youngest brother arrives.
