OET (OET-RV) Then bring me your youngest brother so that I’ll know you’re not spies—that you’re telling the truth. Then I’ll release your brother and you can trade here freely.’ ”
וְ֠הָבִיאוּ אֶת־אֲחִיכֶ֣ם הַקָּטֹן֮ אֵלַי֒
and,bring DOM brother_of,your(pl) the=small(sg) to=me
See how you translated a similar clause at the beginning of verse 20. Alternate translation: [Then bring your youngest brother back here to me] or [After that, you must come back here to me with your youngest brother]
וְאֵֽדְעָ֗ה כִּ֣י לֹ֤א מְרַגְּלִים֙ אַתֶּ֔ם
and,know that/for/because/then/when not spies you(pl)
Consider again how you translated spies in Gen 42:9-11, 14, 16, 30, 31, 34. Alternate translation: [Then I will know that you are not spies]
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
כִּ֥י כֵנִ֖ים אַתֶּ֑ם
that/for/because/then/when honest you(pl)
For some languages it is more natural to change the order of clauses in this sentence and say, “Then I will know that you are honest/trustworthy men/people and not spies.” Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: [but are honest men]
אֶת־אֲחִיכֶם֙ אֶתֵּ֣ן לָכֶ֔ם
DOM DOM brother_of,your(pl) give_~_back to/for=you(pl)
Alternate translation: [Then I will release to you your brother who is in prison]
42:29-34 The brothers’ account focused on the accusation that they were spies and on the need to take Benjamin back to Egypt with them. They omitted their growing realization of divine retribution for their crime against Joseph.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
