  SPEAKER_00: They said to one another, What is God doing to us?

  SPEAKER_00: The brothers report back to Jacob.
• 6:14
  SPEAKER_00: The brothers went back to their father Jacob in the land of Canaan.

  SPEAKER_00: They told him about everything that had happened.
• 6:23
  SPEAKER_00: They said, The governor of that country spoke rudely to us.
• 6:29
  SPEAKER_00: He thought that we were spies.
• 6:31
  SPEAKER_00: We told him we were honest men, not spies.
• 6:34
  SPEAKER_00: There are 12 of us brothers, all from the same fathers.
• 6:38
  SPEAKER_00: One of our brothers is no longer living, and the youngest is still at home with our father.
• 6:44
  SPEAKER_00: Then the governor of that country said to us, Here's the way to prove that you are honest men.
• 6:52
  SPEAKER_00: Leave one of your brothers here with me.
• 6:55
  SPEAKER_00: Take your grain back to your families.
• 6:59
  SPEAKER_00: Bring your youngest brother to me.
• 7:03
  SPEAKER_00: Then I will know if you are honest men or if you are sent from an army to destroy us.
• 7:10
  SPEAKER_00: If you are telling the truth, I will give your brother back to you.
• 7:15
  SPEAKER_00: I will give him to you, and you will be free to buy grain in our country.
• 7:21
  SPEAKER_00: Then the brothers started taking the grain out of their sacks, and every brother found his bag of money in his sack of grain.

  SPEAKER_00: Joseph is gone, Simeon is gone, and now you want to take Benjamin away too?
• 7:50
  SPEAKER_00: But Reuben said to his father, Father, you may kill my two sons if I don't bring Benjamin back to you.
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_00: Trust me, I will bring him back to you.
• 8:03
  SPEAKER_00: But Jacob said, I will not let Benjamin go with you.
• 8:07
  SPEAKER_00: His brother is dead, and he is the only son left from my wife Rachel.
