Genesis 42:34 in Context — Genesis 42

32 Nous sommes douze frères, fils de notre père; l’un n’est plus, et le plus jeune est aujourd’hui avec notre père au pays de Canaan.

33 Et l’homme, qui est le seigneur du pays, nous a dit: Voici comment je saurai si vous êtes sincères. Laissez auprès de moi l’un de vos frères, prenez de quoi nourrir vos familles, partez, et amenez-moi votre jeune frère.

34 Je saurai ainsi que vous n’êtes pas des espions, que vous êtes sincères; je vous rendrai votre frère, et vous pourrez librement parcourir le pays.

35 Lorsqu’ils vidèrent leurs sacs, voici, le paquet d’argent de chacun était dans son sac. Ils virent, eux et leur père, leurs paquets d’argent, et ils eurent peur.

36 Jacob, leur père, leur dit: Vous me privez de mes enfants! Joseph n’est plus, Siméon n’est plus, et vous prendriez Benjamin! C’est sur moi que tout cela retombe.
