ગુજરાતીઉત્પત્તિ ૪૨:૧૬
તમે તમારામાંથી એકને મોકલો. તે તમારા ભાઈને લઈને અહીં આવે. તમને કેદમાં રાખવામાં આવશે. તમારી વાતની ખાતરી કરાશે કે તમે સાચું બોલો છો કે નહિ. હું તો ફારુનના સમ ખાઈને કહું છું કે તમે જાસૂસ જ છો.”

इसलिए अपने में से एक को भेज दो कि वह तुम्हारे भाई को ले आए, और तुम लोग बन्दी रहोगे; इस प्रकार तुम्हारी बातें परखी जाएँगी कि तुम में सच्चाई है कि नहीं। यदि सच्चे न ठहरे तब तो फ़िरौन के जीवन की शपथ तुम निश्चय ही भेदिए समझे जाओगे।”
