22
ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ρουβην εἶπεν αὐτοῖς οὐκ ἐλάλησα ὑμῖν λέγων μὴ ἀδικήσητε τὸ παιδάριον καὶ οὐκ εἰσηκούσατέ μου καὶ ἰδοὺ τὸ αἷμα αὐτοῦ ἐκζητεῖται
Genesis 42:22
Arcana Coelestia #5438
5438. 'Your servants are not spies' means that they were not there for the sake of gain. This is clear from the meaning of 'spies' as the possession of truths known to the Church for the sake of gain, dealt with above in 5432, in this case a denial of this.
