Now when JacobH3290 sawH7200 that there was cornH7668 in Egypt,H4714 JacobH3290 saidH559 to his sons,H1121 WhyH4100 do you lookH7200 one on another?
2
And he said,H559 Behold,H2009 I have heardH8085 that there is cornH7668 in Egypt:H4714 getH3381 you downH3381 thither,H8033 and buyH7666 for us from there;H8033 that we may live,H2421 and not die.H4191
3
And Joseph'sH3130 tenH6235 brothersH251 wentH3381 downH3381 to buyH7666 cornH1250 in Egypt.H4714
4
But Benjamin,H1144 Joseph'sH3130 brother,H251 JacobH3290 sentH7971 not with his brothers;H251 for he said,H559 LestH6435 peradventure mischiefH611 befallH7122 him.
5
And the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 cameH935 to buyH7666 corn amongH8432 those that came:H935 for the famineH7458 was in the landH776 of Canaan.H3667
6
And JosephH3130 was the governorH7989 overH5921 the land,H776 and he it was that soldH7666 to allH3605 the peopleH5971 of the land:H776 and Joseph'sH3130 brothersH251 came,H935 and bowedH7812 downH7812 themselves before him with their facesH639 to the earth.H776
7
And JosephH3130 sawH7200 his brothers,H251 and he knewH5234 them, but made himself strangeH5234 to them, and spokeH1696 roughlyH7186 to them; and he saidH559 to them, From whereH370 comeH935 you? And they said,H559 From the landH776 of CanaanH3667 to buyH7666 food.H400
8
And JosephH3130 knewH5234 his brothers,H251 but they knewH5234 not him.
9
And JosephH3130 rememberedH2142 the dreamsH2472 whichH834 he dreamedH2492 of them, and saidH559 to them, You are spies;H7270 to seeH7200 the nakednessH6172 of the landH776 you are come.H935
10
And they saidH559 to him, No,H3808 my lord,H113 but to buyH7666 foodH400 are your servantsH5650 come.H935
11
We are allH3605 oneH259 man'sH376 sons;H1121 we are trueH3651 men, your servantsH5650 are noH3808 spies.H7270
12
And he saidH559 to them, No,H3808 but to seeH7200 the nakednessH6172 of the landH776 you are come.H935
13
And they said,H559 Your servantsH5650 are twelveH8147 H6240 brothers,H251 the sonsH1121 of oneH259 manH376 in the landH776 of Canaan;H3667 and, behold,H2009 the youngestH6996 is this dayH3117 with our father,H1 and oneH259 is not.
14
And JosephH3130 saidH559 to them, That is it that I spokeH1696 to you, saying,H559 You are spies:H7270
15
HerebyH2063 you shall be proved:H974 By the lifeH2416 of PharaohH6547 you shall not goH3318 forthH3318 hence,H2088 exceptH518 your youngestH6996 brotherH251 comeH935 here.
16
SendH7971 oneH259 of you, and let him fetchH3947 your brother,H251 and you shall be keptH631 in prison, that your wordsH1697 may be proved,H974 whether there be any truthH571 in you: or elseH518 H3808 by the lifeH2416 of PharaohH6547 surely you are spies.H7270
17
And he putH622 them allH622 together intoH413 wardH4929 threeH7969 days.H3117
18
And JosephH3130 saidH559 to them the thirdH7992 day,H3117 ThisH2063 do,H6213 and live;H2421 for I fearH3373 God:H430
19
IfH518 you be trueH3651 men, let oneH259 of your brothersH251 be boundH631 in the houseH1004 of your prison:H4929 goH3212 you, carryH935 cornH7668 for the famineH7459 of your houses:H1004
20
But bringH935 your youngestH6996 brotherH251 to me; so shall your wordsH1697 be verified,H539 and you shall not die.H4191 And they didH6213 so.H3651
21
And they saidH559 oneH376 to another,H251 We are trulyH61 guiltyH816 concerningH5921 our brother,H251 in that we sawH7200 the anguishH6869 of his soul,H5315 when he soughtH2603 us, and we would not hear;H8085 thereforeH5921 H3651 is thisH2063 distressH6869 comeH935 on us.
22
And ReubenH7205 answeredH6030 them, saying,H559 SpokeH559 I not to you, saying,H559 Do not sinH2398 against the child;H3206 and you would not hear?H8085 therefore,H1571 behold,H2009 alsoH1571 his bloodH1818 is required.H1875
23
And they knewH3045 not that JosephH3130 understoodH8085 them; for he spoke to them by an interpreter.H3887
24
And he turnedH5437 himself about from them, and wept;H1058 and returnedH7725 to them again,H7725 and communedH1696 with them, and tookH3947 from them Simeon,H8095 and boundH631 him before their eyes.H5869
25
Then JosephH3130 commandedH6680 to fillH4390 their sacksH8242 with corn,H1250 and to restoreH7725 every man'sH376 moneyH3701 intoH413 his sack,H8242 and to giveH5414 them provisionH6720 for the way:H1870 and thusH3651 didH6213 he to them.
26
And they ladedH5375 their assesH2543 with the corn,H7668 and departedH3212 there.H8033
27
And as oneH259 of them openedH6605 his sackH8242 to giveH5414 his assH2543 provenderH4554 in the inn,H4411 he espiedH7200 his money;H3701 for, behold,H2009 it was in his sack'sH572 mouth.H6310
28
And he saidH559 to his brothers,H251 My moneyH3701 is restored;H7725 and, see,H2009 it is even in my sack:H572 and their heartH3820 failedH3318 them, and they were afraid,H2729 sayingH559 oneH376 to another,H251 WhatH4100 is thisH2063 that GodH430 has doneH6213 to us?
29
And they cameH935 to JacobH3290 their fatherH1 to the landH776 of Canaan,H3667 and toldH5046 him allH3605 that befellH7136 to them; saying,H559
30
The man,H376 who is the lordH113 of the land,H776 spokeH1696 roughlyH7186 to us, and tookH5414 us for spiesH7270 of the country.H776
31
And we saidH559 to him, We are trueH3651 men; we are noH3808 spies:H7270
32
We be twelveH8147 H6240 brothers,H251 sonsH1121 of our father;H1 oneH259 is not, and the youngestH6996 is this dayH3117 with our fatherH1 in the landH776 of Canaan.H3667
33
And the man,H376 the lordH113 of the country,H776 saidH559 to us, HerebyH2063 shall I knowH3045 that you are trueH3651 men; leaveH5117 oneH259 of your brothersH251 here with me, and takeH3947 food for the famineH7459 of your households,H1004 and be gone:H3212
34
And bringH935 your youngestH6996 brotherH251 to me: then shall I knowH3045 that you are noH3808 spies,H7270 but that you are trueH3651 men: so will I deliverH5414 you your brother,H251 and you shall trafficH5503 in the land.H776
35
And it cameH1961 to pass as they emptiedH7324 their sacks,H8242 that, behold,H2009 every man'sH376 bundleH6872 of moneyH3701 was in his sack:H8242 and when both they and their fatherH1 sawH7200 the bundlesH6872 of money,H3701 they were afraid.H3372
36
And JacobH3290 their fatherH1 saidH559 to them, Me have you bereavedH7921 of my children: JosephH3130 is not, and SimeonH8095 is not, and you will takeH3947 BenjaminH1144 away: allH3605 these things are againstH5921 me.
37
And ReubenH7205 spokeH559 to his father,H1 saying,H559 SlayH4191 my twoH8147 sons,H1121 if I bringH935 him not to you: deliverH5414 him intoH5921 my hand,H3027 and I will bringH7725 him to you again.H7725
38
And he said,H559 My sonH1121 shall not goH3381 down with you; for his brotherH251 is dead,H4191 and he is leftH7604 alone:H905 if mischiefH611 befallH7122 him by the wayH1870 in the whichH834 you go,H3212 then shall you bringH3381 downH3381 my grayH7872 hairs with sorrowH3015 to the grave.H7585
