NET Bible
"“No,” he insisted,“but you have come to see if our land is vulnerable.”"
— Genesis 42:12, NET Bible
“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!"”
“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.”
Then Joseph remembered the dreams he had dreamed about them, and he said to them,“You are spies; you have come to see if our land is vulnerable!”
But they exclaimed,“No, my lord! Your servants have come to buy grain for food!
We are all the sons of one man; we are honest men! Your servants are not spies.”
“No,” he insisted,“but you have come to see if our land is vulnerable.”
They replied,“Your servants are from a family of twelve brothers. We are the sons of one man in the land of Canaan. The youngest is with our father at this time, and one is no longer alive.”
But Joseph told them,“It is just as I said to you: You are spies!
You will be tested in this way: As surely as Pharaoh lives, you will not depart from this place unless your youngest brother comes here.
