UTNuW Translation Notes:

וְ⁠אֶת אֲחִי⁠כֶ֤ם הַ⁠קָּטֹן֙ תָּבִ֣יאוּ אֵלַ֔⁠י

and=DOM brother,your_all's the=small(sg) bring to=me

Alternate translation: “After that, you must come back here to me with your youngest brother”

וְ⁠יֵאָמְנ֥וּ דִבְרֵי⁠כֶ֖ם

and,verified words,your_all's

See how you translated a similar clause in verse 16. Alternate translation: “so that what you have told me will be proven to be true,”

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / litotes

וְ⁠לֹ֣א תָמ֑וּתוּ

and=not die

In this context, the word die refers to execution, not death by natural causes. Alternate translation: “and I will spare your lives and not execute you for being spies.”

וַ⁠יַּעֲשׂוּ כֵֽן

and=they_made so

Alternate translation: “… agreed to do what he said” or “… accepted his proposal.”
