1 And the famine <07458> was sore <03515> in the land <0776>.
2 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>.
3 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.
4 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>:
5 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.
6 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>?
7 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> <00> your brother <0251> down <03381> (8685)?
8 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>.
9 I will be surety <06148> (8799) for him; of my hand <03027> shalt thou require <01245> (8762) him: if <0518> <00> 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>:
10 For except <03884> we had lingered <04102> (8701), surely now we had returned <07725> (8804) this second time <06471>.
11 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>:
12 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>:
13 Take <03947> (8798) also your brother <0251>, and arise <06965> (8798), go again <07725> (8798) unto the man <0376>:
14 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).
15 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>.
16 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>.
17 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>.
18 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>.
19 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>,
20 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>:
21 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>.
22 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>.
23 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.
24 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>.
25 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.
26 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>.
27 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>?
28 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).
29 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>.
30 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.
31 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>.
32 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>.
33 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>.
34 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.
