John Chrysostom
Upon their return to their father, they shared the account of their journey, including the Egyptian governor’s anger directed at them and the fact that he had detained them under the accusation of being spies.
And we answered him: We are peaceable men, and we mean no plot.
וַנֹּ֥אמֶר אֵלָ֖יו כֵּנִ֣ים אֲנָ֑חְנוּ לֹ֥א הָיִ֖ינוּ מְרַגְּלִֽים׃
