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>_.
