“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:”
Then the man who is lord over the land said to us: this is how I will know whether you are honest men: leave one of your brothers here with me, and take food for your starving households and go. The report of the conditions is accurate — leave one, bring Benjamin, then you will trade freely. The application: the accurate reporting of the conditions imposed on you, without editing or distortion, is the honest communication that allows the one in authority over you to make an informed decision.
