Genesis 42:16

Context
42:16 One of you must go and get 1  your brother, while 2  the rest of you remain in prison. 3  In this way your words may be tested to see if 4  you are telling the truth. 5  If not, then, as surely as Pharaoh lives, you are spies!”

1 tn Heb “send from you one and let him take.” After the imperative, the prefixed verbal form with prefixed vav (ו) indicates purpose.

2 tn The disjunctive clause is here circumstantial-temporal.

3 tn Heb “bound.”

4 tn The words “to see” have been supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

5 tn Heb “the truth [is] with you.”
