[1]Now when JacobH3290 sawH7200 H8799that there wasH3426 cornH7668 in EgyptH4714, JacobH3290 saidH559 H8799unto his sonsH1121, Why do ye lookH7200 one upon anotherH8691?
[2]And he saidH559 , H8799Behold, I have heardH8085 H8804that there isH3426 cornH7668 in EgyptH4714: get you downH3381 H8798thither, and buyH7666 H8798for us from thence; that we may liveH2421 , H8799and not dieH4191.[H8799]
[3]And Joseph'sH3130 tenH6235 brethrenH251 went downH3381 H8799to buyH7666 H8800cornH1250 in EgyptH4714.
[4]But BenjaminH1144, Joseph'sH3130 brotherH251, JacobH3290 sentH7971 H8804not with his brethrenH251; for he saidH559 , H8804Lest peradventureH6435 mischiefH611 befall himH7122.[H8799]
[5]And the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 cameH935 H8799to buyH7666 H8800corn amongH8432 those that cameH935 : H8802for the famineH7458 was in the landH776 of CanaanH3667.
[6]And JosephH3130 was the governorH7989 over the landH776, and he it was that soldH7666 H8688to all the peopleH5971 of the landH776: and Joseph'sH3130 brethrenH251 cameH935 , H8799and bowed downH7812 H8691themselves before him with their facesH639 to the earthH776.
[7]And JosephH3130 sawH7200 H8799his brethrenH251, and he knewH5234 H8686them, but made himself strangeH5234 H8691unto them, and spakeH1696 H8762roughlyH7186 unto them; and he saidH559 H8799unto them, WhenceH370 comeH935 H8804ye? And they saidH559 , H8799From the landH776 of CanaanH3667 to buyH7666 H8800foodH400.
[8]And JosephH3130 knewH5234 H8686his brethrenH251, but they knewH5234 not himH8689.
[9]And JosephH3130 rememberedH2142 H8799the dreamsH2472 which he dreamedH2492 H8804of them, and saidH559 H8799unto them, Ye are spiesH7270 ; H8764to seeH7200 H8800the nakednessH6172 of the landH776 ye are comeH935.[H8804]
[10]And they saidH559 H8799unto him, Nay, my lordH113, but to buyH7666 H8800foodH400 are thy servantsH5650 comeH935.[H8804]
[11]WeH5168 are all oneH259 man'sH376 sonsH1121; we are trueH3651 men, thy servantsH5650 are no spiesH7270.[H8764]
[12]And he saidH559 H8799unto them, Nay, but to seeH7200 H8800the nakednessH6172 of the landH776 ye are comeH935.[H8804]
[13]And they saidH559 , H8799Thy servantsH5650 are twelveH8147 H6240brethrenH251, the sonsH1121 of oneH259 manH376 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667; and, behold, the youngestH6996 is this dayH3117 with our fatherH1, and one is notH259.
[14]And JosephH3130 saidH559 H8799unto them, That is it that I spakeH1696 H8765unto you, sayingH559 , H8800Ye are spiesH7270:[H8764]
[15]HerebyH2063 ye shall be provedH974 : H8735By the lifeH2416 of PharaohH6547 ye shall not go forthH3318 H8799hence, except your youngestH6996 brotherH251 comeH935 hitherH8800.
[16]SendH7971 H8798oneH259 of you, and let him fetchH3947 H8799your brotherH251, and ye shall be kept in prisonH631 , H8734that your wordsH1697 may be provedH974 , H8735whether there be any truthH571 inH854 you: or elseH3808 by the lifeH2416 of PharaohH6547 surely ye are spiesH7270.[H8764]
[17]And he put them all togetherH622 H8799into wardH4929 threeH7969 daysH3117.
[18]And JosephH3130 saidH559 H8799unto them the thirdH7992 dayH3117, This doH6213 , H8798and liveH2421 ; H8798for I fearH3373 GodH430:
[19]If ye be trueH3651 men, let oneH259 of your brethrenH251 be boundH631 H8735in the houseH1004 of your prisonH4929: goH3212 H8798ye, carryH935 H8685cornH7668 for the famineH7459 of your housesH1004:
[20]But bringH935 H8686your youngestH6996 brotherH251 unto me; so shall your wordsH1697 be verifiedH539 , H8735and ye shall not dieH4191 . H8799And they didH6213 soH8799.
[21]And they saidH559 H8799oneH376 to anotherH251, We are verilyH61 guiltyH818 concerning our brotherH251, in thatH834 we sawH7200 H8804the anguishH6869 of his soulH5315, when he besoughtH2603 H8692us, and we would not hearH8085 ; H8804therefore is this distressH6869 comeH935 upon usH8804.
[22]And ReubenH7205 answeredH6030 H8799them, sayingH559 , H8800Spake IH559 H8804not unto you, sayingH559 , H8800Do not sinH2398 H8799against the childH3206; and ye would not hearH8085 ? H8804therefore, behold, also his bloodH1818 is requiredH1875.[H8738]
[23]And they knewH3045 H8804not that JosephH3130 understoodH8085 H8802them; for he spake unto them by an interpreterH3887.[H8688]
[24]And he turned himself aboutH5437 H8735from them, and weptH1058 ; H8799and returned to them againH7725 , H8799and communedH1696 H8762with them, and tookH3947 H8799from them SimeonH8095, and boundH631 H8799him before their eyesH5869.
[25]Then JosephH3130 commandedH6680 H8762to fillH4390 H8762their sacksH3627 with cornH1250, and to restoreH7725 H8687every man'sH376 moneyH3701 into his sackH8242, and to giveH5414 H8800them provisionH6720 for the wayH1870: and thusH3651 did heH6213 unto themH8799.
[26]And they ladedH5375 H8799their assesH2543 with the cornH7668, and departedH3212 thenceH8799.
[27]And as oneH259 of them openedH6605 H8799his sackH8242 to giveH5414 H8800his assH2543 provenderH4554 in the innH4411, he espiedH7200 H8799his moneyH3701; for, behold, it was in his sack'sH572 mouthH6310.
[28]And he saidH559 H8799unto his brethrenH251, My moneyH3701 is restoredH7725 ; H8717and, loH2009, it is even in my sackH572: and their heartH3820 failedH3318 H8799them, and they were afraidH2729 , H8799sayingH559 H8800oneH376 to anotherH251, What is this that GodH430 hath doneH6213 unto usH8804?
[29]And they cameH935 H8799unto JacobH3290 their fatherH1 unto the landH776 of CanaanH3667, and toldH5046 H8686him all that befellH7136 H8802unto them; sayingH559,[H8800]
[30]The manH376, who is the lordH113 of the landH776, spakeH1696 H8765roughlyH7186 to us, and tookH5414 H8799us for spiesH7270 H8764of the countryH776.
[31]And we saidH559 H8799unto him, We are trueH3651 men; we are no spiesH7270:[H8764]
[32]We be twelveH6240 H8147brethrenH251, sonsH1121 of our fatherH1; oneH259 is not, and the youngestH6996 is this dayH3117 with our fatherH1 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667.
[33]And the manH376, the lordH113 of the countryH776, saidH559 H8799unto us, Hereby shall I knowH3045 H8799that ye are trueH3651 men; leaveH3240 H8685oneH259 of your brethrenH251 here with me, and takeH3947 H8798food for the famineH7459 of your householdsH1004, and be goneH3212:[H8798]
[34]And bringH935 H8685your youngestH6996 brotherH251 unto me: then shall I knowH3045 H8799that ye are no spiesH7270 , H8764but that ye are trueH3651 men: so will I deliverH5414 H8799you your brotherH251, and ye shall traffickH5503 H8799in the landH776.
[35]And it came to pass as they emptiedH7324 H8688their sacksH8242, that, behold, every man'sH376 bundleH6872 of moneyH3701 was in his sackH8242: and when both they and their fatherH1 sawH7200 H8799the bundlesH6872 of moneyH3701, they were afraidH3372.[H8799]
[36]And JacobH3290 their fatherH1 saidH559 H8799unto them, Me have ye bereavedH7921 H8765of my children: JosephH3130 is not, and SimeonH8095 is not, and ye will takeH3947 H8799Benjamin away: all these things are against meH1144.
[37]And ReubenH7205 spakeH559 H8799unto his fatherH1, sayingH559 , H8800SlayH4191 H8686my twoH8147 sonsH1121, if I bringH935 H8686him not to thee: deliverH5414 H8798him into my handH3027, and I will bring him to thee againH7725.[H8686]
[38]And he saidH559 , H8799My sonH1121 shall not go downH3381 H8799with you; for his brotherH251 is deadH4191 , H8804and he is leftH7604 H8738alone: if mischiefH611 befallH7122 H8804him by the wayH1870 in the which ye goH3212 , H8799then shall ye bring downH3381 H8689my gray hairsH7872 with sorrowH3015 to the graveH7585.
