Si sois hombres de la verdad, quede preso en la casa de vuestra cárcel uno de vuestros hermanos; y vosotros id, llevad el alimento para el hambre de vuestra casa;
Verses 7-20 - Joseph was hard upon his brethren, not from a spirit of revenge, but to bring them to repentance. Not seeing his brotherBenjamin, 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 fearGod;" 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 fearGod, we may expect fai dealing.
