Gen 42:10-13 | MHM | STEP | v. 10-13 : The brothers answer respectfully, calling Joseph “my lord.” They insist they are not spies, but honest men who have come to buy food. They explain that they are twelve brothers, but the youngest is at home and one is “not” (meaning Joseph himself, whom they believe is dead) ( v. 10-13 ). This is a big change from how they once treated Joseph.
