WEB

Bring your youngest brother to me; so will your words be verified, and you won't die." They did so.

KJV

But bring your youngest brother unto me; so shall your words be verified, and ye shall not die. And they did so.

Commentary

But bring your youngest brother unto me,.... Upon their return for more corn: so shall your words be verifie d; that they were true men, and had no ill design upon the land, but were come only to buy corn: and ye shall not die; as spies, which they were otherwise threatened with; and as it is customary in all nations to put such to death when found out: and they did so; they left one of their brethren behind; they carried corn to their houses or families in Canaan, and brought their brother Benjamin with them when they returned to Egypt.
