— Genesis 42:15, NET Bible
“Hereby ye shall be proved: By the life of Pharaoh ye shall not go forth hence, except your youngest brother come hither.”
“hereby ye shall be proved: by the life of Pharaoh ye shall not go forth hence, except your youngest brother come hither. ”
“By this you shall be tested. By the life of Pharaoh, you shall not go forth from here, unless your youngest brother comes here.”
“I shall now presently try what you are: by the health of Pharao, you shall not depart hence, until your youngest brother come.”
“But in this way will you be put to the test: by the life of Pharaoh, you will not go away from this place till your youngest brother comes here.”
“Hereby ye shall be proved: By the life of Pharaoh ye shall not go forth hence, except your youngest brother come hither.”

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.
One of you must go and get your brother, while the rest of you remain in prison. In this way your words may be tested to see if you are telling the truth. If not, then, as surely as Pharaoh lives, you are spies!”
He imprisoned them all for three days.
On the third day Joseph said to them,“Do as I say and you will live, for I fear God.
