Genesis 42:1-24

42:1
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?
42:2
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)_.
42:3
And Joseph's
<03130>
ten
<06235>
brethren
<0251>
went down
<03381> (8799)
to buy
<07666> (8800)
corn
<01250>
in Egypt
<04714>_.
42:4
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)_.
42:5
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>_.
42:6
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>_.
42:7
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}
42:8
And Joseph
<03130>
knew
<05234> (8686)
his brethren
<0251>_,
but they knew
<05234> (8689)
not him.
42:9
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)_.
42:10
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)_.
42:11
We
<05168>
[are] all one
<0259>
man's
<0376>
sons
<01121>_;
we [are] true
<03651>
[men], thy servants
<05650>
are no spies
<07270> (8764)_.
42:12
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)_.
42:13
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.
42:14
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)_:
42:15
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.
42:16
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}
42:17
And he put them all together
<0622> (8799)
into ward
<04929>
three
<07969>
days
<03117>_.
{put: Heb. gathered}
42:18
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>_:
42:19
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>_:
42:20
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.
42:21
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.
42:22
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)_.
42:23
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}
42:24
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>_.
