¹ H3290 Now when Jacob H7200 saw [H8799]   H3426 that there was H7668 corn H4714 in Egypt H3290 , Jacob H559 said [H8799]   H1121 unto his sons H7200 , Why do ye look [H8691]   one upon another?

² H559 And he said [H8799]   H8085 , Behold, I have heard [H8804]   H3426 that there is H7668 corn H4714 in Egypt H3381 : get you down [H8798]   H7666 thither, and buy [H8798]   H2421 for us from thence; that we may live [H8799]   H4191 , and not die [H8799]  .

³ H3130 And Joseph's H6235 ten H251 brethren H3381 went down [H8799]   H7666 to buy [H8800]   H1250 corn H4714 in Egypt.

⁴ H1144 But Benjamin H3130 , Joseph's H251 brother H3290 , Jacob H7971 sent [H8804]   H251 not with his brethren H559 ; for he said [H8804]   H6435 , Lest peradventure H611 mischief H7122 befall him [H8799]  .

⁵ H1121 And the sons H3478 of Israel H935 came [H8799]   H7666 to buy [H8800]   H8432 corn among H935 those that came [H8802]   H7458 : for the famine H776 was in the land H3667 of Canaan.

⁶ H3130 And Joseph H7989 was the governor H776 over the land H7666 , and he it was that sold [H8688]   H5971 to all the people H776 of the land H3130 : and Joseph's H251 brethren H935 came [H8799]   H7812 , and bowed down [H8691]   H639 themselves before him with their faces H776 to the earth.

⁷ H3130 And Joseph H7200 saw [H8799]   H251 his brethren H5234 , and he knew [H8686]   H5234 them, but made himself strange [H8691]   H1696 unto them, and spake [H8762]   H7186 roughly H559 unto them; and he said [H8799]   H370 unto them, Whence H935 come [H8804]   H559 ye? And they said [H8799]   H776 , From the land H3667 of Canaan H7666 to buy [H8800]   H400 food.

⁸ H3130 And Joseph H5234 knew [H8686]   H251 his brethren H5234 , but they knew [H8689]   not him.

⁹ H3130 And Joseph H2142 remembered [H8799]   H2472 the dreams H2492 which he dreamed [H8804]   H559 of them, and said [H8799]   H7270 unto them, Ye are spies [H8764]   H7200 ; to see [H8800]   H6172 the nakedness H776 of the land H935 ye are come [H8804]  .

¹⁰ H559 And they said [H8799]   H113 unto him, Nay, my lord H7666 , but to buy [H8800]   H400 food H5650 are thy servants H935 come [H8804]  .

¹¹ H5168 We H259 are all one H376 man's H1121 sons H3651 ; we are true H5650 men, thy servants H7270 are no spies [H8764]  .

¹² H559 And he said [H8799]   H7200 unto them, Nay, but to see [H8800]   H6172 the nakedness H776 of the land H935 ye are come [H8804]  .

¹³ H559 And they said [H8799]   H5650 , Thy servants H8147 are twelve H6240   H251 brethren H1121 , the sons H259 of one H376 man H776 in the land H3667 of Canaan H6996 ; and, behold, the youngest H3117 is this day H1 with our father H259 , and one is not.

¹⁴ H3130 And Joseph H559 said [H8799]   H1696 unto them, That is it that I spake [H8765]   H559 unto you, saying [H8800]   H7270 , Ye are spies [H8764]  :

¹⁵ H2063 Hereby H974 ye shall be proved [H8735]   H2416 : By the life H6547 of Pharaoh H3318 ye shall not go forth [H8799]   H6996 hence, except your youngest H251 brother H935 come [H8800]   hither.

¹⁶ H7971 Send [H8798]   H259 one H3947 of you, and let him fetch [H8799]   H251 your brother H631 , and ye shall be kept in prison [H8734]   H1697 , that your words H974 may be proved [H8735]   H571 , whether there be any truth H854 in H3808 you: or else H2416 by the life H6547 of Pharaoh H7270 surely ye are spies [H8764]  .

¹⁷ H622 And he put them all together [H8799]   H4929 into ward H7969 three H3117 days.

¹⁸ H3130 And Joseph H559 said [H8799]   H7992 unto them the third H3117 day H6213 , This do [H8798]   H2421 , and live [H8798]   H3373 ; for I fear H430 God:

¹⁹ H3651 If ye be true H259 men, let one H251 of your brethren H631 be bound [H8735]   H1004 in the house H4929 of your prison H3212 : go [H8798]   H935 ye, carry [H8685]   H7668 corn H7459 for the famine H1004 of your houses:

²⁰ H935 But bring [H8686]   H6996 your youngest H251 brother H1697 unto me; so shall your words H539 be verified [H8735]   H4191 , and ye shall not die [H8799]   H6213 . And they did [H8799]   so.

²¹ H559 And they said [H8799]   H376 one H251 to another H61 , We are verily H818 guilty H251 concerning our brother H834 , in that H7200 we saw [H8804]   H6869 the anguish H5315 of his soul H2603 , when he besought [H8692]   H8085 us, and we would not hear [H8804]   H6869 ; therefore is this distress H935 come [H8804]   upon us.

²² H7205 And Reuben H6030 answered [H8799]   H559 them, saying [H8800]   H559 , Spake I [H8804]   H559 not unto you, saying [H8800]   H2398 , Do not sin [H8799]   H3206 against the child H8085 ; and ye would not hear [H8804]   H1818 ? therefore, behold, also his blood H1875 is required [H8738]  .

²³ H3045 And they knew [H8804]   H3130 not that Joseph H8085 understood [H8802]   H3887 them; for he spake unto them by an interpreter [H8688]  .

²⁴ H5437 And he turned himself about [H8735]   H1058 from them, and wept [H8799]   H7725 ; and returned to them again [H8799]   H1696 , and communed [H8762]   H3947 with them, and took [H8799]   H8095 from them Simeon H631 , and bound [H8799]   H5869 him before their eyes.

²⁵ H3130 Then Joseph H6680 commanded [H8762]   H4390 to fill [H8762]   H3627 their sacks H1250 with corn H7725 , and to restore [H8687]   H376 every man's H3701 money H8242 into his sack H5414 , and to give [H8800]   H6720 them provision H1870 for the way H3651 : and thus H6213 did he [H8799]   unto them.

²⁶ H5375 And they laded [H8799]   H2543 their asses H7668 with the corn H3212 , and departed [H8799]   thence.

²⁷ H259 And as one H6605 of them opened [H8799]   H8242 his sack H5414 to give [H8800]   H2543 his ass H4554 provender H4411 in the inn H7200 , he espied [H8799]   H3701 his money H572 ; for, behold, it was in his sack's H6310 mouth.

²⁸ H559 And he said [H8799]   H251 unto his brethren H3701 , My money H7725 is restored [H8717]   H2009 ; and, lo H572 , it is even in my sack H3820 : and their heart H3318 failed [H8799]   H2729 them, and they were afraid [H8799]   H559 , saying [H8800]   H376 one H251 to another H430 , What is this that God H6213 hath done [H8804]   unto us?

²⁹ H935 And they came [H8799]   H3290 unto Jacob H1 their father H776 unto the land H3667 of Canaan H5046 , and told [H8686]   H7136 him all that befell [H8802]   H559 unto them; saying [H8800]  ,

³⁰ H376 The man H113 , who is the lord H776 of the land H1696 , spake [H8765]   H7186 roughly H5414 to us, and took [H8799]   H7270 us for spies [H8764]   H776 of the country.

³¹ H559 And we said [H8799]   H3651 unto him, We are true H7270 men; we are no spies [H8764]  :

³² H6240 We be twelve H8147   H251 brethren H1121 , sons H1 of our father H259 ; one H6996 is not, and the youngest H3117 is this day H1 with our father H776 in the land H3667 of Canaan.

³³ H376 And the man H113 , the lord H776 of the country H559 , said [H8799]   H3045 unto us, Hereby shall I know [H8799]   H3651 that ye are true H3240 men; leave [H8685]   H259 one H251 of your brethren H3947 here with me, and take [H8798]   H7459 food for the famine H1004 of your households H3212 , and be gone [H8798]  :

³⁴ H935 And bring [H8685]   H6996 your youngest H251 brother H3045 unto me: then shall I know [H8799]   H7270 that ye are no spies [H8764]   H3651 , but that ye are true H5414 men: so will I deliver [H8799]   H251 you your brother H5503 , and ye shall traffick [H8799]   H776 in the land.

³⁵ H7324 And it came to pass as they emptied [H8688]   H8242 their sacks H376 , that, behold, every man's H6872 bundle H3701 of money H8242 was in his sack H1 : and when both they and their father H7200 saw [H8799]   H6872 the bundles H3701 of money H3372 , they were afraid [H8799]  .

³⁶ H3290 And Jacob H1 their father H559 said [H8799]   H7921 unto them, Me have ye bereaved [H8765]   H3130 of my children : Joseph H8095 is not, and Simeon H3947 is not, and ye will take [H8799]   H1144 Benjamin away : all these things are against me.

³⁷ H7205 And Reuben H559 spake [H8799]   H1 unto his father H559 , saying [H8800]   H4191 , Slay [H8686]   H8147 my two H1121 sons H935 , if I bring [H8686]   H5414 him not to thee: deliver [H8798]   H3027 him into my hand H7725 , and I will bring him to thee again [H8686]  .

³⁸ H559 And he said [H8799]   H1121 , My son H3381 shall not go down [H8799]   H251 with you; for his brother H4191 is dead [H8804]   H7604 , and he is left [H8738]   H611 alone: if mischief H7122 befall [H8804]   H1870 him by the way H3212 in the which ye go [H8799]   H3381 , then shall ye bring down [H8689]   H7872 my gray hairs H3015 with sorrow H7585 to the grave.
