Génesis 42:31 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 42:31

And we said unto him, we [are] true [men]
Honest, upright men, not given to treacherous and treasonable practices, either in the country where they lived, or any other; they came to Egypt with no ill design upon the country, only to buy corn for the relief of their families in necessity: we are no spies;
or never were F5: they had never been guilty of such practices, and never charged with anything of that kind; they denied the charge, and detested the character.

Génesis 42:31 In-Context

29 Al llegar a Canaán, donde estaba su padre Jacob, le contaron todo lo que les había sucedido:
30 —El hombre que gobierna aquel país nos trató con rudeza, a tal grado que nos acusó de ser espías.
31 Nosotros le dijimos: “Somos gente honrada. No somos espías”.
32 Además, le dijimos: “Somos doce hermanos, hijos de un mismo padre. Uno ya no vive, y el menor se ha quedado con nuestro padre en Canaán”.
33 »Entonces el hombre que gobierna aquel país nos dijo: “Con esto voy a comprobar si en verdad son gente honrada. Dejen aquí conmigo a uno de sus hermanos, y vayan a llevar alimento para calmar el hambre de sus familias.
