SEV Biblia, Chapter 42:15

En esto seréis probados: Vive el Faraón que no saldréis de aquí, sino cuando vuestro hermano menor viniere aquí.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Genesis 42:15

Verse 15. By the life of Pharaoh] h[rp yj chey Pharaoh, Pharaoh liveth. As if he had said, As surely as the king of Egypt lives, so surely shall ye not go hence unless your brother come hither. Here therefore is no oath; it is just what they themselves make it in their report to their father, chap. xliii. 3: the man did solemnly protest unto us; and our translators should not have put it in the form of an oath, especially as the original not only will bear another version, but is absolutely repugnant to this in our sense of the word.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 7-20 - Joseph was hard upon his brethren, not from a spirit of revenge, but to bring them to repentance. Not seeing his brother Benjamin, he suspecte that they had made away with him, and he gave them occasion to speak of their father and brother. God, in his providence, sometimes seems hars with those he loves, and speaks roughly to those for whom yet he ha great mercy in store. Joseph settled at last, that one of them shoul be left, and the rest go home and fetch Benjamin. It was a very encouraging word he said to them, "I fear God;" as if he had said, Yo may be assured I will do you no wrong; I dare not, for I know there is one higher than I. With those that fear God, we may expect fai dealing.
