29Then they came to Jacob their father in the land of Canaan and told him all that had happened to them, saying,

30The man, the lord of the land, spoke harshly with us and treated us as spies of the land.

31And we said to him, ‘We are honest men; we have not been spies.’

32We are twelve brothers, sons of our father. One is no more, and the youngest is with our father today in the land of Canaan.
