Génesis 42:20 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 42:20

But bring your youngest brother unto me
Upon their return for more corn: so shall your words be verified;
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.

Génesis 42:20 In-Context

18 Y José les dijo al tercer día: Haced esto y viviréis, pues yo temo a Dios:
19 si sois hombres honrados, que uno de vuestros hermanos quede encarcelado en vuestra prisión; y el resto de vosotros, id, llevad grano para el hambre de vuestras casas;
20 y traedme a vuestro hermano menor, para que vuestras palabras sean verificadas, y no moriréis. Y así lo hicieron.
21 Entonces se dijeron el uno al otro: Verdaderamente somos culpables en cuanto a nuestro hermano, porque vimos la angustia de su alma cuando nos rogaba, y no lo escuchamos, por eso ha venido sobre nosotros esta angustia.
22 Y Rubén les respondió, diciendo: ¿No os dije yo: "No pequéis contra el muchacho" y no me escuchasteis? Ahora hay que rendir cuentas por su sangre.
