Genesis42:18
18 And Joseph said unto them the third day, This do, and live : for I fear God .
I will spare your lives, and not punish you with death as spies, and you shall carry provisions that your family also may live.
And therefore will not be cruel to you, nor to your brother whom you shall leave with me. This might have raised some suspition concerning Ioseph, but that they knew there were divers among the heathens who did own the true God, though they worshipped Idols with him.
