Genesis 42:29--44:34

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}
