Now when JacobH3290 sawH7200 that there wasH3426 cornH7668 in EgyptH4714, JacobH3290 saidH559 unto his sonsH1121, Why do ye lookH7200 one upon another?
And he saidH559, Behold, I have heardH8085 that there isH3426 cornH7668 in EgyptH4714: get you downH3381 thither, and buyH7666 for us from thence; that we may liveH2421, and not dieH4191.
And Joseph'sH3130 tenH6235 brethrenH251 went downH3381 to buyH7666 cornH1250 in EgyptH4714.
But BenjaminH1144, Joseph'sH3130 brotherH251, JacobH3290 sentH7971 not with his brethrenH251; for he saidH559, Lest peradventureH6435 mischiefH611 befall himH7122.
And the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 cameH935 to buyH7666 corn amongH8432 those that cameH935: for the famineH7458 was in the landH776 of CanaanH3667.
And JosephH3130 was the governorH7989 over the landH776, and he it was that soldH7666 to all the peopleH5971 of the landH776: and Joseph'sH3130 brethrenH251 cameH935, and bowed downH7812 themselves before him with their facesH639 to the earthH776.
And JosephH3130 sawH7200 his brethrenH251, and he knewH5234 them, but made himself strangeH5234 unto them, and spakeH1696 roughlyH7186 unto them; and he saidH559 unto them, WhenceH370 comeH935 ye? And they saidH559, From the landH776 of CanaanH3667 to buyH7666 foodH400. {roughly…: Heb. hard things with them}
And JosephH3130 knewH5234 his brethrenH251, but they knewH5234 not him.
And JosephH3130 rememberedH2142 the dreamsH2472 which he dreamedH2492 of them, and saidH559 unto them, Ye are spiesH7270; to seeH7200 the nakednessH6172 of the landH776 ye are comeH935.
And they saidH559 unto him, Nay, my lordH113, but to buyH7666 foodH400 are thy servantsH5650 comeH935.
WeH5168 are all oneH259 man'sH376 sonsH1121; we are trueH3651 men, thy servantsH5650 are no spiesH7270.
And he saidH559 unto them, Nay, but to seeH7200 the nakednessH6172 of the landH776 ye are comeH935.
And they saidH559, Thy servantsH5650 are twelveH8147+H6240 brethrenH251, the sonsH1121 of oneH259 manH376 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667; and, behold, the youngestH6996 is this dayH3117 with our fatherH1, and oneH259 is not.
And JosephH3130 saidH559 unto them, That is it that I spakeH1696 unto you, sayingH559, Ye are spiesH7270:
HerebyH2063 ye shall be provedH974: By the lifeH2416 of PharaohH6547 ye shall not go forthH3318 hence, except your youngestH6996 brotherH251 comeH935 hither.
SendH7971 oneH259 of you, and let him fetchH3947 your brotherH251, and ye shall be kept in prisonH631, that your wordsH1697 may be provedH974, whether there be any truthH571 inH854 you: or elseH3808 by the lifeH2416 of PharaohH6547 surely ye are spiesH7270. {kept…: Heb. bound}
And he put them all togetherH622 into wardH4929 threeH7969 daysH3117. {put: Heb. gathered}
And JosephH3130 saidH559 unto them the thirdH7992 dayH3117, This doH6213, and liveH2421; for I fearH3373 GodH430:
If ye be trueH3651 men, let oneH259 of your brethrenH251 be boundH631 in the houseH1004 of your prisonH4929: goH3212 ye, carryH935 cornH7668 for the famineH7459 of your housesH1004:
But bringH935 your youngestH6996 brotherH251 unto me; so shall your wordsH1697 be verifiedH539, and ye shall not dieH4191. And they didH6213 so.
And they saidH559 oneH376 to anotherH251, We are verilyH61 guiltyH818 concerning our brotherH251, in thatH834 we sawH7200 the anguishH6869 of his soulH5315, when he besoughtH2603 us, and we would not hearH8085; therefore is this distressH6869 comeH935 upon us.
And ReubenH7205 answeredH6030 them, sayingH559, Spake IH559 not unto you, sayingH559, Do not sinH2398 against the childH3206; and ye would not hearH8085? therefore, behold, also his bloodH1818 is requiredH1875.
And they knewH3045 not that JosephH3130 understoodH8085 them; for he spake unto them by an interpreterH3887. {he spake…: Heb. an interpreter was between them}
And he turned himself aboutH5437 from them, and weptH1058; and returned to them againH7725, and communedH1696 with them, and tookH3947 from them SimeonH8095, and boundH631 him before their eyesH5869.
Then JosephH3130 commandedH6680 to fillH4390 their sacksH3627 with cornH1250, and to restoreH7725 every man'sH376 moneyH3701 into his sackH8242, and to giveH5414 them provisionH6720 for the wayH1870: and thusH3651 did heH6213 unto them.
And they ladedH5375 their assesH2543 with the cornH7668, and departedH3212 thence.
And as oneH259 of them openedH6605 his sackH8242 to giveH5414 his assH2543 provenderH4554 in the innH4411, he espiedH7200 his moneyH3701; for, behold, it was in his sack'sH572 mouthH6310.
And he saidH559 unto his brethrenH251, My moneyH3701 is restoredH7725; and, loH2009, it is even in my sackH572: and their heartH3820 failedH3318 them, and they were afraidH2729, sayingH559 oneH376 to anotherH251, What is this that GodH430 hath doneH6213 unto us? {failed…: Heb. went forth}
And they cameH935 unto JacobH3290 their fatherH1 unto the landH776 of CanaanH3667, and toldH5046 him all that befellH7136 unto them; sayingH559,
The manH376, who is the lordH113 of the landH776, spakeH1696 roughlyH7186 to us, and tookH5414 us for spiesH7270 of the countryH776. {roughly…: Heb. with us hard things}
And we saidH559 unto him, We are trueH3651 men; we are no spiesH7270:
We be twelveH6240+H8147 brethrenH251, sonsH1121 of our fatherH1; oneH259 is not, and the youngestH6996 is this dayH3117 with our fatherH1 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667.
And the manH376, the lordH113 of the countryH776, saidH559 unto us, Hereby shall I knowH3045 that ye are trueH3651 men; leaveH3240 oneH259 of your brethrenH251 here with me, and takeH3947 food for the famineH7459 of your householdsH1004, and be goneH3212:
And bringH935 your youngestH6996 brotherH251 unto me: then shall I knowH3045 that ye are no spiesH7270, but that ye are trueH3651 men: so will I deliverH5414 you your brotherH251, and ye shall traffickH5503 in the landH776.
And it came to pass as they emptiedH7324 their sacksH8242, that, behold, every man'sH376 bundleH6872 of moneyH3701 was in his sackH8242: and when both they and their fatherH1 sawH7200 the bundlesH6872 of moneyH3701, they were afraidH3372.
And JacobH3290 their fatherH1 saidH559 unto them, Me have ye bereavedH7921 of my children: JosephH3130 is not, and SimeonH8095 is not, and ye will takeH3947 BenjaminH1144 away: all these things are against me.
And ReubenH7205 spakeH559 unto his fatherH1, sayingH559, SlayH4191 my twoH8147 sonsH1121, if I bringH935 him not to thee: deliverH5414 him into my handH3027, and I will bring him to thee againH7725.
And he saidH559, My sonH1121 shall not go downH3381 with you; for his brotherH251 is deadH4191, and he is leftH7604 alone: if mischiefH611 befallH7122 him by the wayH1870 in the which ye goH3212, then shall ye bring downH3381 my gray hairsH7872 with sorrowH3015 to the graveH7585.

And AbrahamH85 saidH559, Because I thoughtH559, SurelyH7535 the fearH3374 of GodH430 is not in this placeH4725; and they will slay meH2026 for my wife'sH802 sakeH1697.
Also I saidH559, It is not goodH2896 thatH1697 ye doH6213: ought ye not to walkH3212 in the fearH3374 of our GodH430 because of the reproachH2781 of the heathenH1471 our enemiesH341?
But the formerH7223 governorsH6346 that had been beforeH6440 me were chargeableH3513 unto the peopleH5971, and had takenH3947 of them breadH3899 and wineH3196, besideH310 fortyH705 shekelsH8255 of silverH3701; yea, evenH1571 their servantsH5288 bare ruleH7980 over the peopleH5971: but so didH6213 not I, becauseH6440 of the fearH3374 of GodH430.
