Genesis 40:1--45:28

And it came to pass after
<0310>

these things
<01697>_,

[that] the butler
<08248> (8688)

of the king
<04428>

of Egypt
<04714>

and [his] baker
<0644> (8802)

had offended
<02398> (8804)

their lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>

of Egypt
<04714>_.

And Pharaoh
<06547>

was wroth
<07107> (8799)

against
<05921>

two
<08147>

[of] his officers
<05631>_,

against the chief
<08269>

of the butlers
<08248> (8688)_,

and against the chief
<08269>

of the bakers
<0644> (8802)_.

And he put
<05414> (8799)

them in ward
<04929>

in the house
<01004>

of the captain
<08269>

of the guard
<02876>_,

into the prison
<01004> <05470>_,

the place
<04725>

where Joseph
<03130>

[was] bound
<0631> (8803)_.

And the captain
<08269>

of the guard
<02876>

charged
<06485> (8799)

Joseph
<03130>

with them, and he served
<08334> (8762)

them: and they continued a season
<03117>

in ward
<04929>_.

And they dreamed
<02492> (8799)

a dream
<02472>

both of them
<08147>_,

each man
<0376>

his dream
<02472>

in one
<0259>

night
<03915>_,

each man
<0376>

according to the interpretation
<06623>

of his dream
<02472>_,

the butler
<08248> (8688)

and the baker
<0644> (8802)

of the king
<04428>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

which [were] bound
<0631> (8803)

in the prison
<01004> <05470>_.

And Joseph
<03130>

came in
<0935> (8799)

unto them in the morning
<01242>_,

and looked
<07200> (8799)

upon them, and, behold, they [were] sad
<02196> (8802)_.

And he asked
<07592> (8799)

Pharaoh's
<06547>

officers
<05631>

that [were] with him in the ward
<04929>

of his lord's
<0113>

house
<01004>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Wherefore look
<06440>

ye [so] sadly
<07451>

to day
<03117>_?

{look...: Heb. are your faces evil?}

And they said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, We have dreamed
<02492> (8804)

a dream
<02472>_,

and [there is] no interpreter
<06622> (8802)

of it. And Joseph
<03130>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, [Do] not interpretations
<06623>

[belong] to God
<0430>_?

tell me
<05608> (8761)

[them], I pray you.

And the chief
<08269>

butler
<08248> (8688)

told
<05608> (8762)

his dream
<02472>

to Joseph
<03130>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

to him, In my dream
<02472>_,

behold, a vine
<01612>

[was] before me
<06440>_;

And in the vine
<01612>

[were] three
<07969>

branches
<08299>_:

and it [was] as though it budded
<06524> (8802)_,

[and] her blossoms
<05322>

shot forth
<05927> (8804)_;

and the clusters
<0811>

thereof brought forth ripe
<01310> (8689)

grapes
<06025>_:

And Pharaoh's
<06547>

cup
<03563>

[was] in my hand
<03027>_:

and I took
<03947> (8799)

the grapes
<06025>_,

and pressed
<07818> (8799)

them into Pharaoh's
<06547>

cup
<03563>_,

and I gave
<05414> (8799)

the cup
<03563>

into Pharaoh's
<06547>

hand
<03709>_.

And Joseph
<03130>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, This [is] the interpretation
<06623>

of it: The three
<07969>

branches
<08299>

[are] three
<07969>

days
<03117>_:

Yet
<05750>

within three
<07969>

days
<03117>

shall Pharaoh
<06547>

lift up
<05375> (8799)

thine head
<07218>_,

and restore
<07725> (8689)

thee unto thy place
<03653>_:

and thou shalt deliver
<05414> (8804)

Pharaoh's
<06547>

cup
<03563>

into his hand
<03027>_,

after the former
<07223>

manner
<04941>

when thou wast his butler
<08248> (8688)_.

{lift...: or, reckon}

But think
<02142> (8804)

on me when it shall be well
<03190> (8799)

with thee, and shew
<06213> (8804)

kindness
<02617>_,

I pray thee, unto me, and make mention
<02142> (8689)

of me unto Pharaoh
<06547>_,

and bring me
<03318> (8689)

out of this house
<01004>_:

{think...: Heb. remember me with thee}

For indeed I was stolen away
<01589> (8795)

out of the land
<0776>

of the Hebrews
<05680>_:

and here also have I done
<06213> (8804)

nothing
<03972>

that they should put
<07760> (8804)

me into the dungeon
<0953>_.

When the chief
<08269>

baker
<0644> (8802)

saw
<07200> (8799)

that the interpretation
<06622> (8804)

was good
<02896>_,

he said
<0559> (8799)

unto Joseph
<03130>_,

I also
<0637>

[was] in my dream
<02472>_,

and, behold, [I had] three
<07969>

white
<02751>

baskets
<05536>

on my head
<07218>_:

{white: or, full of holes}

And in the uppermost
<05945>

basket
<05536>

[there was] of all manner
<03978>

of bakemeats
<04639> <0644> (8802)

for Pharaoh
<06547>_;

and the birds
<05775>

did eat
<0398> (8802)

them out of the basket
<05536>

upon
<05921>

my head
<07218>_.

{bakemeats...: Heb. meat of Pharaoh, the work of a baker, or, cook}

And Joseph
<03130>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

This [is] the interpretation
<06623>

thereof: The three
<07969>

baskets
<05536>

[are] three
<07969>

days
<03117>_:

Yet within three
<07969>

days
<03117>

shall Pharaoh
<06547>

lift up
<05375> (8799)

thy head
<07218>

from off thee, and shall hang
<08518> (8804)

thee on a tree
<06086>_;

and the birds
<05775>

shall eat
<0398> (8804)

thy flesh
<01320>

from off thee. {lift...: or, reckon thee, and take thy office from thee}

And it came to pass the third
<07992>

day
<03117>_,

[which was] Pharaoh's
<06547>

birthday
<03117> <03205> (8715)_,

that he made
<06213> (8799)

a feast
<04960>

unto all his servants
<05650>_:

and he lifted up
<05375> (8799)

the head
<07218>

of the chief
<08269>

butler
<08248> (8688)

and of the chief
<08269>

baker
<0644> (8802)

among
<08432>

his servants
<05650>_.

{lifted...: or, reckoned}

And he restored
<07725> (0)

the chief
<08269>

butler
<08248> (8688)

unto his butlership
<04945>

again
<07725> (8686)_;

and he gave
<05414> (8799)

the cup
<03563>

into Pharaoh's
<06547>

hand
<03709>_:

But he hanged
<08518> (8804)

the chief
<08269>

baker
<0644> (8802)_:

as Joseph
<03130>

had interpreted
<06622> (8804)

to them.

Yet did not the chief
<08269>

butler
<08248> (8688)

remember
<02142> (8804)

Joseph
<03130>_,

but forgat
<07911> (8799)

him.

And it came to pass at the end
<07093>

of two full
<03117>

years
<08141>_,

that Pharaoh
<06547>

dreamed
<02492> (8802)_:

and, behold, he stood
<05975> (8802)

by the river
<02975>_.

And, behold, there came up
<05927> (8802)

out of the river
<02975>

seven
<07651>

well
<03303>

favoured
<04758>

kine
<06510>

and fatfleshed
<01277> <01320>_;

and they fed
<07462> (8799)

in a meadow
<0260>_.

And, behold, seven
<07651>

other
<0312>

kine
<06510>

came up
<05927> (8802)

after them
<0310>

out of the river
<02975>_,

ill
<07451>

favoured
<04758>

and leanfleshed
<01851> <01320>_;

and stood
<05975> (8799)

by
<0681>

the [other] kine
<06510>

upon the brink
<08193>

of the river
<02975>_.

And the ill
<07451>

favoured
<04758>

and leanfleshed
<01851> <01320>

kine
<06510>

did eat up
<0398> (8799)

the seven
<07651>

well
<03303>

favoured
<04758>

and fat
<01277>

kine
<06510>_.

So Pharaoh
<06547>

awoke
<03364> (8799)_.

And he slept
<03462> (8799)

and dreamed
<02492> (8799)

the second time
<08145>_:

and, behold, seven
<07651>

ears of corn
<07641>

came up
<05927> (8802)

upon one
<0259>

stalk
<07070>_,

rank
<01277>

and good
<02896>_.

{rank: Heb. fat}

And, behold, seven
<07651>

thin
<01851>

ears
<07641>

and blasted
<07710> (8803)

with the east wind
<06921>

sprung up
<06779> (8802)

after them
<0310>_.

And the seven thin
<01851>

ears
<07641>

devoured
<01104> (8799)

the seven
<07651>

rank
<01277>

and full
<04392>

ears
<07641>_.

And Pharaoh
<06547>

awoke
<03364> (8799)_,

and, behold, [it was] a dream
<02472>_.

And it came to pass in the morning
<01242>

that his spirit
<07307>

was troubled
<06470> (8735)_;

and he sent
<07971> (8799)

and called
<07121> (8799)

for all the magicians
<02748>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

and all the wise men
<02450>

thereof: and Pharaoh
<06547>

told
<05608> (8762)

them his dream
<02472>_;

but [there was] none that could interpret
<06622> (8802)

them unto Pharaoh
<06547>_.

Then spake
<01696> (8762)

the chief
<08269>

butler
<08248> (8688)

unto Pharaoh
<06547>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

I do remember
<02142> (8688)

my faults
<02399>

this day
<03117>_:

Pharaoh
<06547>

was wroth
<07107> (8804)

with his servants
<05650>_,

and put
<05414> (8799)

me in ward
<04929>

in the captain
<08269>

of the guard's
<02876>

house
<01004>_,

[both] me and the chief
<08269>

baker
<0644> (8802)_:

And we dreamed
<02492> (8799)

a dream
<02472>

in one
<0259>

night
<03915>_,

I and he; we dreamed
<02492> (8804)

each man
<0376>

according to the interpretation
<06623>

of his dream
<02472>_.

And [there was] there with us a young man
<05288>_,

an Hebrew
<05680>_,

servant
<05650>

to the captain
<08269>

of the guard
<02876>_;

and we told
<05608> (8762)

him, and he interpreted
<06622> (8799)

to us our dreams
<02472>_;

to each man
<0376>

according to his dream
<02472>

he did interpret
<06622> (8804)_.

And it came to pass, as he interpreted
<06622> (8804)

to us, so it was; me he restored
<07725> (8689)

unto mine office
<03653>_,

and him he hanged
<08518> (8804)_.

Then Pharaoh
<06547>

sent
<07971> (8799)

and called
<07121> (8799)

Joseph
<03130>_,

and they brought him hastily
<07323> (8686)

out of the dungeon
<0953>_:

and he shaved
<01548> (8762)

[himself], and changed
<02498> (8762)

his raiment
<08071>_,

and came in
<0935> (8804)

unto Pharaoh
<06547>_.

{brought...: Heb. made him run}

And Pharaoh
<06547>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Joseph
<03130>_,

I have dreamed
<02492> (8804)

a dream
<02472>_,

and [there is] none that can interpret
<06622> (8802)

it: and I have heard
<08085> (8804)

say
<0559> (8800)

of thee, [that] thou canst understand
<08085> (8799)

a dream
<02472>

to interpret
<06622> (8800)

it. {thou...: or, when thou hearest a dream thou canst interpret it}

And Joseph
<03130>

answered
<06030> (8799)

Pharaoh
<06547>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

[It is] not in me
<01107>_:

God
<0430>

shall give
<06030> (0)

Pharaoh
<06547>

an answer
<06030> (8799)

of peace
<07965>_.

And Pharaoh
<06547>

said
<01696> (8762)

unto Joseph
<03130>_,

In my dream
<02472>_,

behold, I stood
<05975> (8802)

upon the bank
<08193>

of the river
<02975>_:

And, behold, there came up
<05927> (8802)

out of the river
<02975>

seven
<07651>

kine
<06510>_,

fatfleshed
<01277> <01320>

and well
<03303>

favoured
<08389>_;

and they fed
<07462> (8799)

in a meadow
<0260>_:

And, behold, seven
<07651>

other
<0312>

kine
<06510>

came up
<05927> (8802)

after them
<0310>_,

poor
<01803>

and very
<03966>

ill
<07451>

favoured
<08389>

and leanfleshed
<07534> <01320>_,

such
<02007>

as I never
<03808>

saw
<07200> (8804)

in all the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>

for badness
<07455>_:

And the lean
<07534>

and the ill favoured
<07451>

kine
<06510>

did eat up
<0398> (8799)

the first
<07223>

seven
<07651>

fat
<01277>

kine
<06510>_:

And when they had eaten them up
<0935> (8799) <07130>_,

it could not be known
<03045> (8738)

that they had eaten them
<0935> (8804) <07130>_;

but they [were] still
<04758>

ill favoured
<07451>_,

as at the beginning
<08462>_.

So I awoke
<03364> (8799)_.

{eaten...: Heb. come to the inward parts of them}

And I saw
<07200> (8799)

in my dream
<02472>_,

and, behold, seven
<07651>

ears
<07641>

came up
<05927> (8802)

in one
<0259>

stalk
<07070>_,

full
<04392>

and good
<02896>_:

And, behold, seven
<07651>

ears
<07641>_,

withered
<06798> (8803)_,

thin
<01851>_,

[and] blasted
<07710> (8803)

with the east wind
<06921>_,

sprung up
<06779> (8802)

after them
<0310>_:

{withered: or, small}

And the thin
<01851>

ears
<07641>

devoured
<01104> (8799)

the seven
<07651>

good
<02896>

ears
<07641>_:

and I told
<0559> (8799)

[this] unto the magicians
<02748>_;

but [there was] none that could declare
<05046> (8688)

[it] to me.

And Joseph
<03130>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Pharaoh
<06547>_,

The dream
<02472>

of Pharaoh
<06547>

[is] one
<0259>_:

God
<0430>

hath shewed
<05046> (8689)

Pharaoh
<06547>

what he [is] about to do
<06213> (8802)_.

The seven
<07651>

good
<02896>

kine
<06510>

[are] seven
<07651>

years
<08141>_;

and the seven
<07651>

good
<02896>

ears
<07641>

[are] seven
<07651>

years
<08141>_:

the dream
<02472>

[is] one
<0259>_.

And the seven
<07651>

thin
<07534>

and ill favoured
<07451>

kine
<06510>

that came up
<05927> (8802)

after them
<0310>

[are] seven
<07651>

years
<08141>_;

and the seven
<07651>

empty
<07386>

ears
<07641>

blasted
<07710> (8803)

with the east wind
<06921>

shall be seven
<07651>

years
<08141>

of famine
<07458>_.

This [is] the thing
<01697>

which I have spoken
<01696> (8765)

unto Pharaoh
<06547>_:

What God
<0430>

[is] about to do
<06213> (8802)

he sheweth
<07200> (8689)

unto Pharaoh
<06547>_.

Behold, there come
<0935> (8802)

seven
<07651>

years
<08141>

of great
<01419>

plenty
<07647>

throughout all the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_:

And there shall arise
<06965> (8804)

after them
<0310>

seven
<07651>

years
<08141>

of famine
<07458>_;

and all the plenty
<07647>

shall be forgotten
<07911> (8738)

in the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_;

and the famine
<07458>

shall consume
<03615> (8765)

the land
<0776>_;

And the plenty
<07647>

shall not be known
<03045> (8735)

in the land
<0776>

by reason
<06440>

of that famine
<07458>

following
<0310> <03651>_;

for it [shall be] very
<03966>

grievous
<03515>_.

{grievous: Heb. heavy}

And for that the dream
<02472>

was doubled
<08138> (8736)

unto Pharaoh
<06547>

twice
<06471>_;

[it is] because the thing
<01697>

[is] established
<03559> (8737)

by
<05973>

God
<0430>_,

and God
<0430>

will shortly
<04116> (8764)

bring it to pass
<06213> (8800)_.

{established...: or, prepared of God}

Now therefore let Pharaoh
<06547>

look out
<07200> (8799)

a man
<0376>

discreet
<0995> (8737)

and wise
<02450>_,

and set
<07896> (8799)

him over the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_.

Let Pharaoh
<06547>

do
<06213> (8799)

[this], and let him appoint
<06485> (8686)

officers
<06496>

over the land
<0776>_,

and take up the fifth part
<02567> (8765)

of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>

in the seven
<07651>

plenteous
<07647>

years
<08141>_.

{officers: or, overseers}

And let them gather
<06908> (8799)

all the food
<0400>

of those good
<02896>

years
<08141>

that come
<0935> (8802)_,

and lay up
<06651> (8799)

corn
<01250>

under the hand
<03027>

of Pharaoh
<06547>_,

and let them keep
<08104> (8804)

food
<0400>

in the cities
<05892>_.

And that food
<0400>

shall be for store
<06487>

to the land
<0776>

against the seven
<07651>

years
<08141>

of famine
<07458>_,

which shall be in the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_;

that the land
<0776>

perish
<03772> (8735)

not through the famine
<07458>_.

{perish...: Heb. be not cut off}

And the thing
<01697>

was good
<03190> (8799)

in the eyes
<05869>

of Pharaoh
<06547>_,

and in the eyes
<05869>

of all his servants
<05650>_.

And Pharaoh
<06547>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto his servants
<05650>_,

Can we find
<04672> (8799)

[such a one] as this
<02088>

[is], a man
<0376>

in whom
<0834>

the Spirit
<07307>

of God
<0430>

[is]?

And Pharaoh
<06547>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Joseph
<03130>_,

Forasmuch
<0310>

as God
<0430>

hath shewed
<03045> (8687)

thee all this, [there is] none so discreet
<0995> (8737)

and wise
<02450>

as thou [art]:

Thou shalt be
<01961> (8799)

over my house
<01004>_,

and according unto thy word
<06310>

shall all my people
<05971>

be ruled
<05401> (8799)_:

only in the throne
<03678>

will I be greater
<01431> (8799)

than thou. {be ruled: Heb. be armed, or, kiss}

And Pharaoh
<06547>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Joseph
<03130>_,

See
<07200> (8798)_,

I have set
<05414> (8804)

thee over all the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_.

And Pharaoh
<06547>

took off
<05493> (8686)

his ring
<02885>

from his hand
<03027>_,

and put
<05414> (8799)

it upon Joseph's
<03130>

hand
<03027>_,

and arrayed
<03847> (8686)

him in vestures
<0899>

of fine linen
<08336>_,

and put
<07760> (8799)

a gold
<02091>

chain
<07242>

about his neck
<06677>_;

{fine...: or, silk}

And he made him to ride
<07392> (8686)

in the second
<04932>

chariot
<04818>

which he had; and they cried
<07121> (8799)

before him
<06440>_,

Bow the knee
<086>_:

and he made
<05414> (8800)

him [ruler] over all the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_.

{Bow...: or, Tender father: Heb. Abrech}

And Pharaoh
<06547>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Joseph
<03130>_,

I [am] Pharaoh
<06547>_,

and without
<01107>

thee shall no man
<0376>

lift up
<07311> (8686)

his hand
<03027>

or foot
<07272>

in all the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_.

And Pharaoh
<06547>

called
<07121> (8799)

Joseph's
<03130>

name
<08034>

Zaphnathpaaneah
<06847>_;

and he gave
<05414> (8799)

him to wife
<0802>

Asenath
<0621>

the daughter
<01323>

of Potipherah
<06319>

priest
<03548>

of On
<0204>_.

And Joseph
<03130>

went out
<03318> (8799)

over [all] the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_.

{Zaphnathpaaneah: which in the Coptic signifies, A revealer of secrets, or, The man to whom secrets are revealed} {priest: or, prince}

And Joseph
<03130>

[was] thirty
<07970>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>

when he stood
<05975> (8800)

before
<06440>

Pharaoh
<06547>

king
<04428>

of Egypt
<04714>_.

And Joseph
<03130>

went out
<03318> (8799)

from the presence
<06440>

of Pharaoh
<06547>_,

and went throughout
<05674> (8799)

all the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_.

And in the seven
<07651>

plenteous
<07647>

years
<08141>

the earth
<0776>

brought forth
<06213> (8799)

by handfuls
<07062>_.

And he gathered up
<06908> (8799)

all the food
<0400>

of the seven
<07651>

years
<08141>_,

which were in the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

and laid up
<05414> (8799)

the food
<0400>

in the cities
<05892>_:

the food
<0400>

of the field
<07704>_,

which [was] round about
<05439>

every city
<05892>_,

laid he up
<05414> (8804)

in the same
<08432>_.

And Joseph
<03130>

gathered
<06651> (8799)

corn
<01250>

as the sand
<02344>

of the sea
<03220>_,

very
<03966>

much
<07235> (8687)_,

until he left
<02308> (8804)

numbering
<05608> (8800)_;

for [it was] without
<0369>

number
<04557>_.

And unto Joseph
<03130>

were born
<03205> (8795)

two
<08147>

sons
<01121>

before the years
<08141>

of famine
<07458>

came
<0935> (8799)_,

which Asenath
<0621>

the daughter
<01323>

of Potipherah
<06319>

priest
<03548>

of On
<0204>

bare
<03205> (8804)

unto him. {priest: or, prince}

And Joseph
<03130>

called
<07121> (8799)

the name
<08034>

of the firstborn
<01060>

Manasseh
<04519>_:

For God
<0430>_,

[said he], hath made me forget
<05382> (8765)

all my toil
<05999>_,

and all my father's
<01>

house
<01004>_.

{Manasseh: that is, Forgetting}

And the name
<08034>

of the second
<08145>

called
<07121> (8804)

he Ephraim
<0669>_:

For God
<0430>

hath caused me to be fruitful
<06509> (8689)

in the land
<0776>

of my affliction
<06040>_.

{Ephraim: that is, Fruitful}

And the seven
<07651>

years
<08141>

of plenteousness
<07647>_,

that was in the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

were ended
<03615> (8799)_.

And the seven
<07651>

years
<08141>

of dearth
<07458>

began
<02490> (8686)

to come
<0935> (8800)_,

according as Joseph
<03130>

had said
<0559> (8804)_:

and the dearth
<07458>

was in all lands
<0776>_;

but in all the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>

there was bread
<03899>_.

And when all the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>

was famished
<07456> (8799)_,

the people
<05971>

cried
<06817> (8799)

to Pharaoh
<06547>

for bread
<03899>_:

and Pharaoh
<06547>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto all the Egyptians
<04714>_,

Go
<03212> (8798)

unto Joseph
<03130>_;

what he saith
<0559> (8799)

to you, do
<06213> (8799)_.

And the famine
<07458>

was over all the face
<06440>

of the earth
<0776>_:

And Joseph
<03130>

opened
<06605> (8799)

all the storehouses, and sold
<07666> (8799)

unto the Egyptians
<04714>_;

and the famine
<07458>

waxed sore
<02388> (8799)

in the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_.

{all the storehouses: Heb. all wherein was}

And all countries
<0776>

came
<0935> (8804)

into Egypt
<04714>

to Joseph
<03130>

for to buy
<07666> (8800)

[corn]; because that the famine
<07458>

was [so] sore
<02388> (8804)

in all lands
<0776>_.

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>_.

And the famine
<07458>

[was] sore
<03515>

in the land
<0776>_.

And it came to pass, when they had eaten up
<03615> (8765) <0398> (8800)

the corn
<07668>

which they had brought out
<0935> (8689)

of Egypt
<04714>_,

their father
<01>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Go again
<07725> (8798)_,

buy
<07666> (8798)

us a little
<04592>

food
<0400>_.

And Judah
<03063>

spake
<0559> (8799)

unto him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

The man
<0376>

did solemnly
<05749> (8687)

protest
<05749> (8689)

unto us, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Ye shall not see
<07200> (8799)

my face
<06440>_,

except
<01115>

your brother
<0251>

[be] with you. {did...: Heb. protesting protested}

If thou wilt
<03426>

send
<07971> (8764)

our brother
<0251>

with us, we will go down
<03381> (8799)

and buy
<07666> (8799)

thee food
<0400>_:

But if thou wilt not send
<07971> (8764)

[him], we will not go down
<03381> (8799)_:

for the man
<0376>

said
<0559> (8804)

unto us, Ye shall not see
<07200> (8799)

my face
<06440>_,

except your brother
<0251>

[be] with you.

And Israel
<03478>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Wherefore dealt ye [so] ill
<07489> (8689)

with me, [as] to tell
<05046> (8687)

the man
<0376>

whether ye had yet a brother
<0251>_?

And they said
<0559> (8799)_,

The man
<0376>

asked
<07592> (8804)

us straitly
<07592> (8800)

of our state, and of our kindred
<04138>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

[Is] your father
<01>

yet alive
<02416>_?

have ye
<03426>

[another] brother
<0251>_?

and we told
<05046> (8686)

him according
<05921>

to the tenor
<06310>

of these words
<01697>_:

could we certainly
<03045> (8800)

know
<03045> (8799)

that he would say
<0559> (8799)_,

Bring
<03381> (0)

your brother
<0251>

down
<03381> (8685)_?

{asked...: Heb. asking asked us} {tenor: Heb. mouth} {could...: Heb. knowing could we know}

And Judah
<03063>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Israel
<03478>

his father
<01>_,

Send
<07971> (8798)

the lad
<05288>

with me, and we will arise
<06965> (8799)

and go
<03212> (8799)_;

that we may live
<02421> (8799)_,

and not die
<04191> (8799)_,

both we, and thou, [and] also our little ones
<02945>_.

I will be surety
<06148> (8799)

for him; of my hand
<03027>

shalt thou require
<01245> (8762)

him: if
<0518> (0)

I bring
<0935> (8689)

him not
<0518>

unto thee, and set
<03322> (8689)

him before thee
<06440>_,

then let me bear the blame
<02398> (8804)

for ever
<03117>_:

For except
<03884>

we had lingered
<04102> (8701)_,

surely now we had returned
<07725> (8804)

this second time
<06471>_.

{this: or, twice by this}

And their father
<01>

Israel
<03478>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, If [it must be] so now
<0645>_,

do
<06213> (8798)

this; take
<03947> (8798)

of the best fruits
<02173>

in the land
<0776>

in your vessels
<03627>_,

and carry down
<03381> (8685)

the man
<0376>

a present
<04503>_,

a little
<04592>

balm
<06875>_,

and a little
<04592>

honey
<01706>_,

spices
<05219>_,

and myrrh
<03910>_,

nuts
<0992>_,

and almonds
<08247>_:

And take
<03947> (8798)

double
<04932>

money
<03701>

in your hand
<03027>_;

and the money
<03701>

that was brought again
<07725> (8716)

in the mouth
<06310>

of your sacks
<0572>_,

carry [it] again
<07725> (8686)

in your hand
<03027>_;

peradventure it [was] an oversight
<04870>_:

Take
<03947> (8798)

also your brother
<0251>_,

and arise
<06965> (8798)_,

go again
<07725> (8798)

unto the man
<0376>_:

And God
<0410>

Almighty
<07706>

give
<05414> (8799)

you mercy
<07356>

before
<06440>

the man
<0376>_,

that he may send away
<07971> (8765)

your other
<0312>

brother
<0251>_,

and Benjamin
<01144>_.

If
<0834>

I be bereaved
<07921> (8804)

[of my children], I am bereaved
<07921> (8804)_.

{If...: or, And I, as I have been, etc.}

And the men
<0582>

took
<03947> (8799)

that
<02063>

present
<04503>_,

and they took
<03947> (8804)

double
<04932>

money
<03701>

in their hand
<03027>_,

and Benjamin
<01144>_;

and rose up
<06965> (8799)_,

and went down
<03381> (8799)

to Egypt
<04714>_,

and stood
<05975> (8799)

before
<06440>

Joseph
<03130>_.

And when Joseph
<03130>

saw
<07200> (8799)

Benjamin
<01144>

with
<0854>

them, he said
<0559> (8799)

to the ruler of his house
<01004>_,

Bring
<0935> (8685)

[these] men
<0582>

home
<01004>_,

and slay
<02873> (8800) <02874>_,

and make ready
<03559> (8685)_;

for [these] men
<0582>

shall dine
<0398> (8799)

with me at noon
<06672>_.

{slay: Heb. kill a killing} {dine: Heb. eat}

And the man
<0376>

did
<06213> (8799)

as Joseph
<03130>

bade
<0559> (8804)_;

and the man
<0376>

brought
<0935> (8686)

the men
<0582>

into Joseph's
<03130>

house
<01004>_.

And the men
<0582>

were afraid
<03372> (8799)_,

because they were brought
<0935> (8717)

into Joseph's
<03130>

house
<01004>_;

and they said
<0559> (8799)_,

Because
<01697>

of the money
<03701>

that was returned
<07725> (8802)

in our sacks
<0572>

at the first time
<08462>

are we brought in
<0935> (8716)_;

that he may seek occasion
<01556> (8705)

against us, and fall
<05307> (8692)

upon us, and take
<03947> (8800)

us for bondmen
<05650>_,

and our asses
<02543>_.

{seek...: Heb. roll himself upon us}

And they came near
<05066> (8799)

to the steward
<0376>

of Joseph's
<03130>

house
<01004>_,

and they communed
<01696> (8762)

with him at the door
<06607>

of the house
<01004>_,

And said
<0559> (8799)_,

O
<0994>

sir
<0113>_,

we came indeed
<03381> (8800)

down
<03381> (8804)

at the first time
<08462>

to buy
<07666> (8800)

food
<0400>_:

{we...: Heb. coming down we came down}

And it came to pass, when we came
<0935> (8804)

to the inn
<04411>_,

that we opened
<06605> (8799)

our sacks
<0572>_,

and, behold, [every] man's
<0376>

money
<03701>

[was] in the mouth
<06310>

of his sack
<0572>_,

our money
<03701>

in full weight
<04948>_:

and we have brought it again
<07725> (8686)

in our hand
<03027>_.

And other
<0312>

money
<03701>

have we brought down
<03381> (8689)

in our hands
<03027>

to buy
<07666> (8800)

food
<0400>_:

we cannot tell
<03045> (8804)

who put
<07760> (8804)

our money
<03701>

in our sacks
<0572>_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Peace
<07965>

[be] to you, fear
<03372> (8799)

not: your God
<0430>_,

and the God
<0430>

of your father
<01>_,

hath given
<05414> (8804)

you treasure
<04301>

in your sacks
<0572>_:

I had
<0935> (8804)

your money
<03701>_.

And he brought
<03318> (8686)

Simeon
<08095>

out unto them. {I had...: Heb. your money came to me}

And the man
<0376>

brought
<0935> (8686)

the men
<0582>

into Joseph's
<03130>

house
<01004>_,

and gave
<05414> (8799)

[them] water
<04325>_,

and they washed
<07364> (8799)

their feet
<07272>_;

and he gave
<05414> (8799)

their asses
<02543>

provender
<04554>_.

And they made ready
<03559> (8686)

the present
<04503>

against
<05704>

Joseph
<03130>

came
<0935> (8800)

at noon
<06672>_:

for they heard
<08085> (8804)

that they should eat
<0398> (8799)

bread
<03899>

there.

And when Joseph
<03130>

came
<0935> (8799)

home
<01004>_,

they brought
<0935> (8686)

him the present
<04503>

which [was] in their hand
<03027>

into the house
<01004>_,

and bowed
<07812> (8691)

themselves to him to the earth
<0776>_.

And he asked
<07592> (8799)

them of [their] welfare
<07965>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

[Is] your father
<01>

well
<07965>_,

the old man
<02205>

of whom ye spake
<0559> (8804)_?

[Is] he yet alive
<02416>_?

{welfare: Heb. peace} {Is your...: Heb. Is there peace to your father?}

And they answered
<0559> (8799)_,

Thy servant
<05650>

our father
<01>

[is] in good health
<07965>_,

he [is] yet alive
<02416>_.

And they bowed down their heads
<06915> (8799)_,

and made obeisance
<07812> (8691)_.

And he lifted up
<05375> (8799)

his eyes
<05869>_,

and saw
<07200> (8799)

his brother
<0251>

Benjamin
<01144>_,

his mother's
<0517>

son
<01121>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

[Is] this your younger
<06996>

brother
<0251>_,

of whom ye spake
<0559> (8804)

unto me? And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

God
<0430>

be gracious
<02603> (8799)

unto thee, my son
<01121>_.

And Joseph
<03130>

made haste
<04116> (8762)_;

for his bowels
<07356>

did yearn
<03648> (8738)

upon his brother
<0251>_:

and he sought
<01245> (8762)

[where] to weep
<01058> (8800)_;

and he entered
<0935> (8799)

into [his] chamber
<02315>_,

and wept
<01058> (8799)

there.

And he washed
<07364> (8799)

his face
<06440>_,

and went out
<03318> (8799)_,

and refrained
<0662> (8691)

himself, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Set on
<07760> (8798)

bread
<03899>_.

And they set on
<07760> (8799)

for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians
<04713>_,

which did eat
<0398> (8802)

with him, by themselves: because the Egyptians
<04713>

might
<03201> (8799)

not eat
<0398> (8800)

bread
<03899>

with the Hebrews
<05680>_;

for that [is] an abomination
<08441>

unto the Egyptians
<04714>_.

And they sat
<03427> (8799)

before him
<06440>_,

the firstborn
<01060>

according to his birthright
<01062>_,

and the youngest
<06810>

according to his youth
<06812>_:

and the men
<0582>

marvelled
<08539> (8799)

one
<0376>

at another
<07453>_.

And he took
<05375> (8799)

[and sent] messes
<04864>

unto them from before him
<06440>_:

but Benjamin's
<01144>

mess
<04864>

was five
<02568>

times
<03027>

so much as
<07235> (8799)

any of theirs. And they drank
<08354> (8799)_,

and were merry
<07937> (8799)

with him. {were...: Heb. drank largely}

And he commanded
<06680> (8762)

the steward of his house
<01004>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Fill
<04390> (8761)

the men's
<0582>

sacks
<0572>

[with] food
<0400>_,

as much as
<0834>

they can
<03201> (8799)

carry
<05375> (8800)_,

and put
<07760> (8798)

every man's
<0376>

money
<03701>

in his sack's
<0572>

mouth
<06310>_.

{the steward...: Heb. him that was over his house}

And put
<07760> (8799)

my cup
<01375>_,

the silver
<03701>

cup
<01375>_,

in the sack's
<0572>

mouth
<06310>

of the youngest
<06996>_,

and his corn
<07668>

money
<03701>_.

And he did
<06213> (8799)

according to the word
<01697>

that Joseph
<03130>

had spoken
<01696> (8765)_.

As soon as the morning
<01242>

was light
<0215> (8804)_,

the men
<0582>

were sent away
<07971> (8795)_,

they and their asses
<02543>_.

[And] when they were gone out
<03318> (8804)

of the city
<05892>_,

[and] not [yet] far off
<07368> (8689)_,

Joseph
<03130>

said
<0559> (8804)

unto his steward
<01004>_,

Up
<06965> (8798)_,

follow
<07291> (8798)

after
<0310>

the men
<0582>_;

and when thou dost overtake
<05381> (8689)

them, say
<0559> (8804)

unto them, Wherefore have ye rewarded
<07999> (8765)

evil
<07451>

for good
<02896>_?

[Is] not this [it] in which my lord
<0113>

drinketh
<08354> (8799)_,

and whereby indeed
<05172> (8763)

he divineth
<05172> (8762)_?

ye have done evil
<07489> (8689)

in so doing
<06213> (8804)_.

{divineth: or, maketh trial?}

And he overtook
<05381> (8686)

them, and he spake
<01696> (8762)

unto them these same
<0428>

words
<01697>_.

And they said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Wherefore saith
<01696> (8762)

my lord
<0113>

these words
<01697>_?

God forbid
<02486>

that thy servants
<05650>

should do
<06213> (8800)

according to this thing
<01697>_:

Behold, the money
<03701>_,

which we found
<04672> (8804)

in our sacks
<0572>_'

mouths
<06310>_,

we brought again
<07725> (8689)

unto thee out of the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>_:

how then should we steal
<01589> (8799)

out of thy lord's
<0113>

house
<01004>

silver
<03701>

or gold
<02091>_?

With whomsoever of thy servants
<05650>

it be found
<04672> (8735)_,

both let him die
<04191> (8804)_,

and we also will be my lord's
<0113>

bondmen
<05650>_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Now also [let] it [be] according unto your words
<01697>_:

he with whom it is found
<04672> (8735)

shall be my servant
<05650>_;

and ye shall be blameless
<05355>_.

Then they speedily
<04116> (8762)

took down
<03381> (8686)

every man
<0376>

his sack
<0572>

to the ground
<0776>_,

and opened
<06605> (8799)

every man
<0376>

his sack
<0572>_.

And he searched
<02664> (8762)_,

[and] began
<02490> (8689)

at the eldest
<01419>_,

and left
<03615> (8765)

at the youngest
<06996>_:

and the cup
<01375>

was found
<04672> (8735)

in Benjamin's
<01144>

sack
<0572>_.

Then they rent
<07167> (8799)

their clothes
<08071>_,

and laded
<06006> (8799)

every man
<0376>

his ass
<02543>_,

and returned
<07725> (8799)

to the city
<05892>_.

And Judah
<03063>

and his brethren
<0251>

came
<0935> (8799)

to Joseph's
<03130>

house
<01004>_;

for he [was] yet there: and they fell
<05307> (8799)

before him
<06440>

on the ground
<0776>_.

And Joseph
<03130>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, What deed
<04639>

[is] this that ye have done
<06213> (8804)_?

wot ye
<03045> (8804)

not that such a man
<0376>

as I can certainly
<05172> (8763)

divine
<05172> (8762)_?

{divine: or, make trial?}

And Judah
<03063>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

What shall we say
<0559> (8799)

unto my lord
<0113>_?

what shall we speak
<01696> (8762)_?

or how shall we clear ourselves
<06663> (8691)_?

God
<0430>

hath found out
<04672> (8804)

the iniquity
<05771>

of thy servants
<05650>_:

behold, we [are] my lord's
<0113>

servants
<05650>_,

both we, and [he] also
<01571>

with whom
<0834> <03027>

the cup
<01375>

is found
<04672> (8738)_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

God forbid
<02486>

that I should do
<06213> (8800)

so
<02063>_:

[but] the man
<0376>

in whose hand
<03027>

the cup
<01375>

is found
<04672> (8738)_,

he shall be my servant
<05650>_;

and as for you, get you up
<05927> (8798)

in peace
<07965>

unto your father
<01>_.

Then Judah
<03063>

came near
<05066> (8799)

unto him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Oh
<0994>

my lord
<0113>_,

let thy servant
<05650>_,

I pray thee, speak
<01696> (8762)

a word
<01697>

in my lord's
<0113>

ears
<0241>_,

and let not thine anger
<0639>

burn
<02734> (8799)

against thy servant
<05650>_:

for thou [art] even as Pharaoh
<06547>_.

My lord
<0113>

asked
<07592> (8804)

his servants
<05650>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Have
<03426>

ye a father
<01>_,

or a brother
<0251>_?

And we said
<0559> (8799)

unto my lord
<0113>_,

We have
<03426>

a father
<01>_,

an old man
<02205>_,

and a child
<03206>

of his old age
<02208>_,

a little one
<06996>_;

and his brother
<0251>

is dead
<04191> (8804)_,

and he alone is left
<03498> (8735)

of his mother
<0517>_,

and his father
<01>

loveth
<0157> (8804)

him.

And thou saidst
<0559> (8799)

unto thy servants
<05650>_,

Bring him down
<03381> (8685)

unto me, that I may set
<07760> (8799)

mine eyes
<05869>

upon him.

And we said
<0559> (8799)

unto my lord
<0113>_,

The lad
<05288>

cannot
<03201> (8799)

leave
<05800> (8800)

his father
<01>_:

for [if] he should leave
<05800> (8804)

his father
<01>_,

[his father] would die
<04191> (8804)_.

And thou saidst
<0559> (8799)

unto thy servants
<05650>_,

Except
<03808>

your youngest
<06996>

brother
<0251>

come down
<03381> (8799)

with you, ye shall see
<07200> (0) <03254> (0)

my face
<06440>

no more
<07200> (8800) <03254> (8686)_.

And it came to pass when we came up
<05927> (8804)

unto thy servant
<05650>

my father
<01>_,

we told
<05046> (8686)

him the words
<01697>

of my lord
<0113>_.

And our father
<01>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Go again
<07725> (8798)_,

[and] buy
<07666> (8798)

us a little
<04592>

food
<0400>_.

And we said
<0559> (8799)_,

We cannot
<03201> (8799)

go down
<03381> (8800)_:

if our youngest
<06996>

brother
<0251>

be
<03426>

with us, then will we go down
<03381> (8804)_:

for we may
<03201> (8799)

not see
<07200> (8800)

the man's
<0376>

face
<06440>_,

except
<0369>

our youngest
<06996>

brother
<0251>

[be] with us.

And thy servant
<05650>

my father
<01>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto us, Ye know
<03045> (8804)

that my wife
<0802>

bare
<03205> (8804)

me two
<08147>

[sons]:

And the one
<0259>

went out
<03318> (8799)

from me, and I said
<0559> (8799)_,

Surely
<02963> (8800)

he is torn in pieces
<02963> (8776)_;

and I saw him
<07200> (8804)

not since
<02008>_:

And if ye take
<03947> (8804)

this also from
<05973>

me
<06440>_,

and mischief
<0611>

befall him
<07136> (8804)_,

ye shall bring down
<03381> (8689)

my gray hairs
<07872>

with sorrow
<07451>

to the grave
<07585>_.

Now therefore when I come
<0935> (8800)

to thy servant
<05650>

my father
<01>_,

and the lad
<05288>

[be] not with us; seeing that his life
<05315>

is bound up
<07194> (8803)

in the lad's life
<05315>_;

It shall come to pass, when he seeth
<07200> (8800)

that the lad
<05288>

[is] not [with us], that he will die
<04191> (8804)_:

and thy servants
<05650>

shall bring down
<03381> (8689)

the gray hairs
<07872>

of thy servant
<05650>

our father
<01>

with sorrow
<03015>

to the grave
<07585>_.

For thy servant
<05650>

became surety
<06148> (8804)

for the lad
<05288>

unto
<05973>

my father
<01>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

If I bring
<0935> (8686)

him not unto thee, then I shall bear the blame
<02398> (8804)

to my father
<01>

for ever
<03117>_.

Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant
<05650>

abide
<03427> (8799)

instead of the lad
<05288>

a bondman
<05650>

to my lord
<0113>_;

and let the lad
<05288>

go up
<05927> (8799)

with his brethren
<0251>_.

For how
<0349>

shall I go up
<05927> (8799)

to my father
<01>_,

and the lad
<05288>

[be] not with me? lest peradventure I see
<07200> (8799)

the evil
<07451>

that shall come on
<04672> (8799)

my father
<01>_.

{come...: Heb. find my father}

Then Joseph
<03130>

could
<03201> (8804)

not refrain
<0662> (8692)

himself before all them that stood
<05324> (8737)

by him; and he cried
<07121> (8799)_,

Cause
<03318> (0)

every man
<0376>

to go out
<03318> (8685)

from me. And there stood
<05975> (8804)

no man
<0376>

with him, while Joseph
<03130>

made himself known
<03045> (8692)

unto his brethren
<0251>_.

And he wept
<06963> <01065>

aloud
<05414> (8799)_:

and the Egyptians
<04714>

and the house
<01004>

of Pharaoh
<06547>

heard
<08085> (8799) <08085> (8799)_.

{wept...: Heb. gave forth his voice in weeping}

And Joseph
<03130>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto his brethren
<0251>_,

I [am] Joseph
<03130>_;

doth my father
<01>

yet live
<02416>_?

And his brethren
<0251>

could
<03201> (8804)

not answer
<06030> (8800)

him; for they were troubled
<0926> (8738)

at his presence
<06440>_.

{troubled: or, terrified}

And Joseph
<03130>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto his brethren
<0251>_,

Come near
<05066> (8798)

to me, I pray you. And they came near
<05066> (8799)_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

I [am] Joseph
<03130>

your brother
<0251>_,

whom ye sold
<04376> (8804)

into Egypt
<04714>_.

Now therefore be not grieved
<06087> (8735)_,

nor angry
<02734> (8799)

with yourselves
<05869>_,

that ye sold
<04376> (8804)

me hither: for God
<0430>

did send
<07971> (8804)

me before you
<06440>

to preserve life
<04241>_.

{nor...: Heb. neither let there be anger in your eyes}

For these two years
<08141>

[hath] the famine
<07458>

[been] in
<07130>

the land
<0776>_:

and yet [there are] five
<02568>

years
<08141>_,

in the which [there shall] neither
<0369>

[be] earing
<02758>

nor harvest
<07105>_.

And God
<0430>

sent
<07971> (8799)

me before you
<06440>

to preserve
<07760> (8800)

you a posterity
<07611>

in the earth
<0776>_,

and to save your lives
<02421> (8687)

by a great
<01419>

deliverance
<06413>_.

{to preserve...: Heb. to put for you a remnant}

So now [it was] not you [that] sent
<07971> (8804)

me hither, but God
<0430>_:

and he hath made
<07760> (8799)

me a father
<01>

to Pharaoh
<06547>_,

and lord
<0113>

of all his house
<01004>_,

and a ruler
<04910> (8802)

throughout all the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_.

Haste
<04116> (8761)

ye, and go up
<05927> (8798)

to my father
<01>_,

and say
<0559> (8804)

unto him, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

thy son
<01121>

Joseph
<03130>_,

God
<0430>

hath made
<07760> (8804)

me lord
<0113>

of all Egypt
<04714>_:

come down
<03381> (8798)

unto me, tarry
<05975> (8799)

not:

And thou shalt dwell
<03427> (8804)

in the land
<0776>

of Goshen
<01657>_,

and thou shalt be near
<07138>

unto me, thou, and thy children
<01121>_,

and thy children's
<01121>

children
<01121>_,

and thy flocks
<06629>_,

and thy herds
<01241>_,

and all that thou hast:

And there will I nourish
<03557> (8773)

thee; for yet [there are] five
<02568>

years
<08141>

of famine
<07458>_;

lest thou, and thy household
<01004>_,

and all that thou hast, come to poverty
<03423> (8735)_.

And, behold, your eyes
<05869>

see
<07200> (8802)_,

and the eyes
<05869>

of my brother
<0251>

Benjamin
<01144>_,

that [it is] my mouth
<06310>

that speaketh
<01696> (8764)

unto you.

And ye shall tell
<05046> (8689)

my father
<01>

of all my glory
<03519>

in Egypt
<04714>_,

and of all that ye have seen
<07200> (8804)_;

and ye shall haste
<04116> (8765)

and bring down
<03381> (8689)

my father
<01>

hither.

And he fell
<05307> (8799)

upon his brother
<0251>

Benjamin's
<01144>

neck
<06677>_,

and wept
<01058> (8799)_;

and Benjamin
<01144>

wept
<01058> (8804)

upon his neck
<06677>_.

Moreover he kissed
<05401> (8762)

all his brethren
<0251>_,

and wept
<01058> (8799)

upon them: and after
<0310>

that his brethren
<0251>

talked
<01696> (8765)

with him.

And the fame
<06963>

thereof was heard
<08085> (8738)

in Pharaoh's
<06547>

house
<01004>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Joseph's
<03130>

brethren
<0251>

are come
<0935> (8804)_:

and it pleased
<03190> (0) <05869> (0)

Pharaoh
<06547>

well
<03190> (8799) <05869>_,

and
<05869>

his servants
<05650>_.

{pleased...: Heb. was good in the eyes of Pharaoh}

And Pharaoh
<06547>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Joseph
<03130>_,

Say
<0559> (8798)

unto thy brethren
<0251>_,

This do
<06213> (8798)

ye; lade
<02943> (8798)

your beasts
<01165>_,

and go
<03212> (8798)_,

get
<0935> (8798)

you unto the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>_;

And take
<03947> (8798)

your father
<01>

and your households
<01004>_,

and come
<0935> (8798)

unto me: and I will give
<05414> (8799)

you the good
<02898>

of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

and ye shall eat
<0398> (8798)

the fat
<02459>

of the land
<0776>_.

this do
<06213> (8798)

ye; take
<03947> (8798)

you wagons
<05699>

not your stuff
<03627>_;

for the good
<02898>

of all the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>

[is] yours. {regard...: Heb. let not your eye spare, etc.}

And the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

did
<06213> (8799)

so: and Joseph
<03130>

gave
<05414> (8799)

them wagons
<05699>_,

according to the commandment
<06310>

of Pharaoh
<06547>_,

and gave
<05414> (8799)

them provision
<06720>

for the way
<01870>_.

{commandment: Heb. mouth}

To all of them he gave
<05414> (8804)

each man
<0376>

changes
<02487>

of raiment
<08071>_;

but to Benjamin
<01144>

he gave
<05414> (8804)

three
<07969>

hundred
<03967>

[pieces] of silver
<03701>_,

and five
<02568>

changes
<02487>

of raiment
<08071>_.

And to his father
<01>

he sent
<07971> (8804)

after this
<02063>

[manner]; ten
<06235>

asses
<0860>

laden
<05375> (8802)

with the good things
<02898>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

and ten
<06235>

she asses
<02543>

laden
<05375> (8802)

with corn
<01250>

and bread
<03899>

and meat
<04202>

for his father
<01>

by the way
<01870>_.

{laden...: Heb. carrying}

So he sent
<07971> (0)

his brethren
<0251>

away
<07971> (8762)_,

and they departed
<03212> (8799)_:

and he said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, See that ye fall not out
<07264> (8799)

by the way
<01870>_.

And they went up
<05927> (8799)

out of Egypt
<04714>_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

into the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>

unto Jacob
<03290>

their father
<01>_,

And told
<05046> (8686)

him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Joseph
<03130>

[is] yet alive
<02416>_,

and he [is] governor
<04910> (8802)

over all the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_.

And Jacob's heart
<03820>

fainted
<06313> (8799)_,

for he believed
<0539> (8689)

them not. {Jacob's: Heb. his}

And they told
<01696> (8762)

him all the words
<01697>

of Joseph
<03130>_,

which he had said
<01696> (8765)

unto them: and when he saw
<07200> (8799)

the wagons
<05699>

which Joseph
<03130>

had sent
<07971> (8804)

to carry
<05375> (8800)

him, the spirit
<07307>

of Jacob
<03290>

their father
<01>

revived
<02421> (8799)_:

And Israel
<03478>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

[It is] enough
<07227>_;

Joseph
<03130>

my son
<01121>

[is] yet alive
<02416>_:

I will go
<03212> (8799)

and see him
<07200> (8799)

before I die
<04191> (8799)_.
