Glancing Through the Scriptures

(KJV.)  GENESIS 42:29-35

Joseph's brethren visit:

(29)  And they came unto Jacob their father unto the land of Canaan, and told him all that befell unto them saying;

(30)  The man, who is the lord of the land, spake roughly to us, and took us for spies of the country.-

(31)  And we said unto him;  We are true men:  we are no spies.

(32)  We be twelve brethren, sons of our father;  one is not, and the youngest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan.

(33)  And the man, the lord of the country, said unto us,  Hereby shall I know that ye are true men;  leave one of your brethren here with me, and take food for the famine of your households, and be gone:

(34)  And bring your youngest brother unto me:  then shall I know that ye are no spies, but that ye are true men:  so will I deliver you your brother, and ye shall traffic in the land.

(35)  And it came to pass as they emptied their sacks, that,  behold, every man's bundle of money was in his sack:  and when both they and their father saw the bundles of money, they were afraid.

ADDENDUM

Brethren,  after Joseph accused his brethren of being the spies of the land of Egypt, he gave them food for the famine of their households,  what do you think happened to his state of emotions?
