1
And the famine [7458] [was] sore [3515] in the land. [0776]
2
And it came to pass, when they had [3615] eaten [0398] up the corn [7668] which they had brought [0935] out of Egypt, [4714] their father [0001] said [0559] unto them, Go again, [7725] buy [7666] us a little [4592] food. [0400]
3
And Judah [3063] spake [0559] unto him, saying, [0559] The man [0376] did solemnly [5749] protest [5749] unto us, saying, [0559] Ye shall not see [7200] my face, [6440] except [1115] your brother [0251] [be] with you.
4
If thou wilt [3426] send [7971] our brother [0251] with us, we will go down [3381] and buy [7666] thee food: [0400]
5
But if thou wilt not send [7971] [him], we will not go down: [3381] for the man [0376] said [0559] unto us, Ye shall not see [7200] my face, [6440] except your brother [0251] [be] with you.
6
And Israel [3478] said, [0559] Wherefore dealt ye [so] ill [7489] with me, [as] to tell [5046] the man [0376] whether ye had yet a brother? [0251]
7
And they said, [0559] The man [0376] asked [7592] us straitly [7592] of our state, and of our kindred, [4138] saying, [0559] [Is] your father [0001] yet alive? [2416] have [3426] ye [another] brother? [0251] and we told [5046] him according [5921] to the tenor [6310] of these words: [1697] could we certainly [3045] know [3045] that he would say, [0559] Bring your brother [0251] down? [3381]
8
And Judah [3063] said [0559] unto Israel [3478] his father, [0001] Send [7971] the lad [5288] with me, and we will arise [6965] and go; [3212] that we may live, [2421] and not die, [4191] both we, and thou, [and] also our little ones. [2945]
9
I will be surety [6148] for him; of my hand [3027] shalt thou require [1245] him: if I bring [0935] him not [0518] unto thee, and set [3322] him before [6440] thee, then let me bear the blame [2398] for ever: [3117]
10
For except [3884] we had lingered, [4102] surely now we had returned [7725] this second time. [6471]
11
And their father [0001] Israel [3478] said [0559] unto them, If [it must be] so now, [0645] do [6213] this; take [3947] of the best fruits [2173] in the land [0776] in your vessels, [3627] and carry down [3381] the man [0376] a present, [4503] a little [4592] balm, [6875] and a little [4592] honey, [1706] spices, [5219] and myrrh, [3910] nuts, [0992] and almonds: [8247]
12
And take [3947] double [4932] money [3701] in your hand; [3027] and the money [3701] that was brought again [7725] in the mouth [6310] of your sacks, [0572] carry [it] again [7725] in your hand; [3027] peradventure it [was] an oversight: [4870]
13
Take [3947] also your brother, [0251] and arise, [6965] go again [7725] unto the man: [0376]
14
And God [0410] Almighty [7706] give [5414] you mercy [7356] before [6440] the man, [0376] that he may send away [7971] your other [0312] brother, [0251] and Benjamin. [1144] If [0834] I be bereaved [7921] [of my children], I am bereaved. [7921]
15
And the men [0582] took [3947] that [2063] present, [4503] and they took [3947] double [4932] money [3701] in their hand, [3027] and Benjamin; [1144] and rose up, [6965] and went down [3381] to Egypt, [4714] and stood [5975] before [6440] Joseph. [3130]
16
And when Joseph [3130] saw [7200] Benjamin [1144] with them, [0854] he said [0559] to the ruler of his house, [1004] Bring [0935] [these] men [0582] home, [1004] and slay, [2873] [2874] and make ready; [3559] for [these] men [0582] shall dine [0398] with me at noon. [6672]
17
And the man [0376] did [6213] as Joseph [3130] bade; [0559] and the man [0376] brought [0935] the men [0582] into Joseph's [3130] house. [1004]
18
And the men [0582] were afraid, [3372] because they were brought into [0935] Joseph's [3130] house; [1004] and they said, [0559] Because of [1697] the money [3701] that was returned [7725] in our sacks [0572] at the first time [8462] are we brought in; [0935] that he may seek occasion [1556] against us, and fall [5307] upon us, and take [3947] us for bondmen, [5650] and our asses. [2543]
19
And they came near [5066] to the steward [0376] of Joseph's [3130] house, [1004] and they communed [1696] with him at the door [6607] of the house, [1004]
20
And said, [0559] O [0994] sir, [0113] we came indeed [3381] down [3381] at the first time [8462] to buy [7666] food: [0400]
21
And it came to pass, when we came [0935] to the inn, [4411] that we opened [6605] our sacks, [0572] and, behold, [every] man's [0376] money [3701] [was] in the mouth [6310] of his sack, [0572] our money [3701] in full weight: [4948] and we have brought it again [7725] in our hand. [3027]
22
And other [0312] money [3701] have we brought down [3381] in our hands [3027] to buy [7666] food: [0400] we cannot tell [3045] who put [7760] our money [3701] in our sacks. [0572]
23
And he said, [0559] Peace [7965] [be] to you, fear [3372] not: your God, [0430] and the God [0430] of your father, [0001] hath given [5414] you treasure [4301] in your sacks: [0572] I had [0935] your money. [3701] And he brought Simeon [8095] out [3318] unto them.
24
And the man [0376] brought [0935] the men [0582] into Joseph's [3130] house, [1004] and gave [5414] [them] water, [4325] and they washed [7364] their feet; [7272] and he gave [5414] their asses [2543] provender. [4554]
25
And they made ready [3559] the present [4503] against [5704] Joseph [3130] came [0935] at noon: [6672] for they heard [8085] that they should eat [0398] bread [3899] there.
26
And when Joseph [3130] came [0935] home, [1004] they brought [0935] him the present [4503] which [was] in their hand [3027] into the house, [1004] and bowed [7812] themselves to him to the earth. [0776]
27
And he asked [7592] them of [their] welfare, [7965] and said, [0559] [Is] your father [0001] well, [7965] the old man [2205] of whom ye spake? [0559] [Is] he yet alive? [2416]
28
And they answered, [0559] Thy servant [5650] our father [0001] [is] in good health, [7965] he [is] yet alive. [2416] And they bowed down their heads, [6915] and made obeisance. [7812]
29
And he lifted up [5375] his eyes, [5869] and saw [7200] his brother [0251] Benjamin, [1144] his mother's [0517] son, [1121] and said, [0559] [Is] this your younger [6996] brother, [0251] of whom ye spake [0559] unto me? And he said, [0559] God [0430] be gracious [2603] unto thee, my son. [1121]
30
And Joseph [3130] made haste; [4116] for his bowels [7356] did yearn [3648] upon his brother: [0251] and he sought [1245] [where] to weep; [1058] and he entered [0935] into [his] chamber, [2315] and wept [1058] there.
31
And he washed [7364] his face, [6440] and went out, [3318] and refrained [0662] himself, and said, [0559] Set on [7760] bread. [3899]
32
And they set on [7760] for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians, [4713] which did eat [0398] with him, by themselves: because the Egyptians [4713] might [3201] not eat [0398] bread [3899] with the Hebrews; [5680] for that [is] an abomination [8441] unto the Egyptians. [4714]
33
And they sat [3427] before [6440] him, the firstborn [1060] according to his birthright, [1062] and the youngest [6810] according to his youth: [6812] and the men [0582] marvelled [8539] one [0376] at another. [7453]
34
And he took [5375] [and sent] messes [4864] unto them from before [6440] him: but Benjamin's [1144] mess [4864] was five [2568] times [3027] so much [7235] as [4864] any of theirs. And they drank, [8354] and were merry [7937] with him.
