Genesis 42:1-38

Now when Jacob
<03290>
saw
<07200> (8799)
that there was
<03426>
corn
<07668>
in Egypt
<04714>_,
Jacob
<03290>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto his sons
<01121>_,
Why do ye look
<07200> (8691)
one upon another?
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold, I have heard
<08085> (8804)
that there is
<03426>
corn
<07668>
in Egypt
<04714>_:
get you down
<03381> (8798)
thither, and buy
<07666> (8798)
for us from thence; that we may live
<02421> (8799)_,
and not die
<04191> (8799)_.
And Joseph's
<03130>
ten
<06235>
brethren
<0251>
went down
<03381> (8799)
to buy
<07666> (8800)
corn
<01250>
in Egypt
<04714>_.
But Benjamin
<01144>_,
Joseph's
<03130>
brother
<0251>_,
Jacob
<03290>
sent
<07971> (8804)
not with his brethren
<0251>_;
for he said
<0559> (8804)_,
Lest peradventure
<06435>
mischief
<0611>
befall him
<07122> (8799)_.
And the sons
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
came
<0935> (8799)
to buy
<07666> (8800)
[corn] among
<08432>
those that came
<0935> (8802)_:
for the famine
<07458>
was in the land
<0776>
of Canaan
<03667>_.
And Joseph
<03130>
[was] the governor
<07989>
over the land
<0776>_,
[and] he [it was] that sold
<07666> (8688)
to all the people
<05971>
of the land
<0776>_:
and Joseph's
<03130>
brethren
<0251>
came
<0935> (8799)_,
and bowed down
<07812> (8691)
themselves before him [with] their faces
<0639>
to the earth
<0776>_.
And Joseph
<03130>
saw
<07200> (8799)
his brethren
<0251>_,
and he knew
<05234> (8686)
them, but made himself strange
<05234> (8691)
unto them, and spake
<01696> (8762)
roughly
<07186>
unto them; and he said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Whence
<0370>
come
<0935> (8804)
ye? And they said
<0559> (8799)_,
From the land
<0776>
of Canaan
<03667>
to buy
<07666> (8800)
food
<0400>_.
{roughly...: Heb. hard things with them}
And Joseph
<03130>
knew
<05234> (8686)
his brethren
<0251>_,
but they knew
<05234> (8689)
not him.
And Joseph
<03130>
remembered
<02142> (8799)
the dreams
<02472>
which he dreamed
<02492> (8804)
of them, and said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Ye [are] spies
<07270> (8764)_;
to see
<07200> (8800)
the nakedness
<06172>
of the land
<0776>
ye are come
<0935> (8804)_.
And they said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Nay, my lord
<0113>_,
but to buy
<07666> (8800)
food
<0400>
are thy servants
<05650>
come
<0935> (8804)_.
We
<05168>
[are] all one
<0259>
man's
<0376>
sons
<01121>_;
we [are] true
<03651>
[men], thy servants
<05650>
are no spies
<07270> (8764)_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Nay, but to see
<07200> (8800)
the nakedness
<06172>
of the land
<0776>
ye are come
<0935> (8804)_.
And they said
<0559> (8799)_,
Thy servants
<05650>
[are] twelve
<08147> <06240>
brethren
<0251>_,
the sons
<01121>
of one
<0259>
man
<0376>
in the land
<0776>
of Canaan
<03667>_;
and, behold, the youngest
<06996>
[is] this day
<03117>
with our father
<01>_,
and one
<0259>
[is] not.
And Joseph
<03130>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, That [is it] that I spake
<01696> (8765)
unto you, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Ye [are] spies
<07270> (8764)_:
Hereby
<02063>
ye shall be proved
<0974> (8735)_:
By the life
<02416>
of Pharaoh
<06547>
ye shall not go forth
<03318> (8799)
hence, except your youngest
<06996>
brother
<0251>
come
<0935> (8800)
hither.
Send
<07971> (8798)
one
<0259>
of you, and let him fetch
<03947> (8799)
your brother
<0251>_,
and ye shall be kept in prison
<0631> (8734)_,
that your words
<01697>
may be proved
<0974> (8735)_,
whether [there be any] truth
<0571>
in
<0854>
you: or else
<03808>
by the life
<02416>
of Pharaoh
<06547>
surely ye [are] spies
<07270> (8764)_.
{kept...: Heb. bound}
And he put them all together
<0622> (8799)
into ward
<04929>
three
<07969>
days
<03117>_.
{put: Heb. gathered}
And Joseph
<03130>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto them the third
<07992>
day
<03117>_,
This do
<06213> (8798)_,
and live
<02421> (8798)_;
[for] I fear
<03373>
God
<0430>_:
If ye [be] true
<03651>
[men], let one
<0259>
of your brethren
<0251>
be bound
<0631> (8735)
in the house
<01004>
of your prison
<04929>_:
go
<03212> (8798)
ye, carry
<0935> (8685)
corn
<07668>
for the famine
<07459>
of your houses
<01004>_:
But bring
<0935> (8686)
your youngest
<06996>
brother
<0251>
unto me; so shall your words
<01697>
be verified
<0539> (8735)_,
and ye shall not die
<04191> (8799)_.
And they did
<06213> (8799)
so.
And they said
<0559> (8799)
one
<0376>
to another
<0251>_,
We [are] verily
<061>
guilty
<0818>
concerning our brother
<0251>_,
in that
<0834>
we saw
<07200> (8804)
the anguish
<06869>
of his soul
<05315>_,
when he besought
<02603> (8692)
us, and we would not hear
<08085> (8804)_;
therefore is this distress
<06869>
come
<0935> (8804)
upon us.
And Reuben
<07205>
answered
<06030> (8799)
them, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Spake I
<0559> (8804)
not unto you, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Do not sin
<02398> (8799)
against the child
<03206>_;
and ye would not hear
<08085> (8804)_?
therefore, behold, also his blood
<01818>
is required
<01875> (8738)_.
And they knew
<03045> (8804)
not that Joseph
<03130>
understood
<08085> (8802)
[them]; for he spake unto them by an interpreter
<03887> (8688)_.
{he spake...: Heb. an interpreter was between them}
And he turned himself about
<05437> (8735)
from them, and wept
<01058> (8799)_;
and returned to them again
<07725> (8799)_,
and communed
<01696> (8762)
with them, and took
<03947> (8799)
from them Simeon
<08095>_,
and bound
<0631> (8799)
him before their eyes
<05869>_.
Then Joseph
<03130>
commanded
<06680> (8762)
to fill
<04390> (8762)
their sacks
<03627>
with corn
<01250>_,
and to restore
<07725> (8687)
every man's
<0376>
money
<03701>
into his sack
<08242>_,
and to give
<05414> (8800)
them provision
<06720>
for the way
<01870>_:
and thus
<03651>
did he
<06213> (8799)
unto them.
And they laded
<05375> (8799)
their asses
<02543>
with the corn
<07668>_,
and departed
<03212> (8799)
thence.
And as one
<0259>
of them opened
<06605> (8799)
his sack
<08242>
to give
<05414> (8800)
his ass
<02543>
provender
<04554>
in the inn
<04411>_,
he espied
<07200> (8799)
his money
<03701>_;
for, behold, it [was] in his sack's
<0572>
mouth
<06310>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto his brethren
<0251>_,
My money
<03701>
is restored
<07725> (8717)_;
and, lo
<02009>_,
[it is] even in my sack
<0572>_:
and their heart
<03820>
failed
<03318> (8799)
[them], and they were afraid
<02729> (8799)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)
one
<0376>
to another
<0251>_,
What [is] this [that] God
<0430>
hath done
<06213> (8804)
unto us? {failed...: Heb. went forth}
And they came
<0935> (8799)
unto Jacob
<03290>
their father
<01>
unto the land
<0776>
of Canaan
<03667>_,
and told
<05046> (8686)
him all that befell
<07136> (8802)
unto them; saying
<0559> (8800)_,
The man
<0376>_,
[who is] the lord
<0113>
of the land
<0776>_,
spake
<01696> (8765)
roughly
<07186>
to us, and took
<05414> (8799)
us for spies
<07270> (8764)
of the country
<0776>_.
{roughly...: Heb. with us hard things}
And we said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, We [are] true
<03651>
[men]; we are no spies
<07270> (8764)_:
We [be] twelve
<06240> <08147>
brethren
<0251>_,
sons
<01121>
of our father
<01>_;
one
<0259>
[is] not, and the youngest
<06996>
[is] this day
<03117>
with our father
<01>
in the land
<0776>
of Canaan
<03667>_.
And the man
<0376>_,
the lord
<0113>
of the country
<0776>_,
said
<0559> (8799)
unto us, Hereby shall I know
<03045> (8799)
that ye [are] true
<03651>
[men]; leave
<03240> (8685)
one
<0259>
of your brethren
<0251>
[here] with me, and take
<03947> (8798)
[food for] the famine
<07459>
of your households
<01004>_,
and be gone
<03212> (8798)_:
And bring
<0935> (8685)
your youngest
<06996>
brother
<0251>
unto me: then shall I know
<03045> (8799)
that ye [are] no spies
<07270> (8764)_,
but [that] ye [are] true
<03651>
[men: so] will I deliver
<05414> (8799)
you your brother
<0251>_,
and ye shall traffick
<05503> (8799)
in the land
<0776>_.
And it came to pass as they emptied
<07324> (8688)
their sacks
<08242>_,
that, behold, every man's
<0376>
bundle
<06872>
of money
<03701>
[was] in his sack
<08242>_:
and when [both] they and their father
<01>
saw
<07200> (8799)
the bundles
<06872>
of money
<03701>_,
they were afraid
<03372> (8799)_.
And Jacob
<03290>
their father
<01>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Me have ye bereaved
<07921> (8765)
[of my children]: Joseph
<03130>
[is] not, and Simeon
<08095>
[is] not, and ye will take
<03947> (8799)
Benjamin
<01144>
[away]: all these things are against me.
And Reuben
<07205>
spake
<0559> (8799)
unto his father
<01>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Slay
<04191> (8686)
my two
<08147>
sons
<01121>_,
if I bring
<0935> (8686)
him not to thee: deliver
<05414> (8798)
him into my hand
<03027>_,
and I will bring him to thee again
<07725> (8686)_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
My son
<01121>
shall not go down
<03381> (8799)
with you; for his brother
<0251>
is dead
<04191> (8804)_,
and he is left
<07604> (8738)
alone: if mischief
<0611>
befall
<07122> (8804)
him by the way
<01870>
in the which ye go
<03212> (8799)_,
then shall ye bring down
<03381> (8689)
my gray hairs
<07872>
with sorrow
<03015>
to the grave
<07585>_.
