Then bring your youngest brother to me so that your words can be verified, that you may not die.” And to this they consented.
In context
18 and on the third day he said to them, “I fear God. So do this and you will live:
19 If you are honest, leave one of your brothers in custody while the rest of you go and take back grain to relieve the hunger of your households.
20 Then bring your youngest brother to me so that your words can be verified, that you may not die.” And to this they consented.
21 Then they said to one another, “Surely we are being punished because of our brother. We saw his anguish when he pleaded with us, but we would not listen. That is why this distress has come upon us.”
22 And Reuben responded, “Didn’t I tell you not to sin against the boy? But you would not listen. Now we must account for his blood!”
