Genesis 43:1-14

1And the famineH7458 was grievous in the landH776.

2And it cameH935 to pass, when they had finishedH3615 eatingH398 the grainH7668 which they had broughtH935 from EgyptH4714, that their fatherH1 saidH559 to them, GoH935 again, buyH7666 us a littleH4592 foodH400.

3And JudahH3063 spoke to him, sayingH559, The manH376 did positively testify to us, sayingH559, Ye shall not seeH7200 my faceH6440, unless your brotherH251 be with you.

4If thou wilt sendH7971 our brotherH251 with us, we will goH3381 downH3381 and buyH7666 thee foodH400;

5but if thou do not sendH7971 [him], we will not goH3381 down, for the manH376 saidH559 to us, Ye shall not seeH7200 my faceH6440, unless your brotherH251 be with you.

6And IsraelH3478 saidH559, WhyH4100 did ye deal [so] ill with me [as] to tellH5046 the manH376 whether ye had yetH5750 a brotherH251?

7And they saidH559, The manH376 askedH7592 very closely after us, and after our kindredH4138, sayingH559, Is your fatherH1 yetH5750 aliveH2416? have ye a brotherH251? And we toldH5046 him according to the tenor of these wordsH1697. Could we at all knowH3045 that he would sayH559, BringH3381 your brotherH251 downH3381?

8And JudahH3063 saidH559 to IsraelH3478 his fatherH1, SendH7971 the ladH5288 with me, and we will ariseH6965 and goH7971, that we may liveH2421, and not dieH4191, both we and thou and our littleH2945 onesH2945.

9I will be suretyH6148 for him: of my handH3027 shalt thou requireH1245 him; if I bringH935 him not to thee, and set him before thy faceH6440, then shall I be guilty toward thee for ever.

10For had we not lingered, we should nowH6258 certainly have returnedH7725 already twice.

11And their fatherH1 IsraelH3478 saidH559 to them, If it is thenH645 soH3651, do this: takeH3947 of the best fruits in the landH776 in your vesselsH3627, and carry down the manH376 a giftH4503: a littleH4592 balsam and a littleH4592 honeyH1706, tragacanth and ladanum, pistacia-nuts and almondsH8247.

12And takeH3947 other moneyH3701 in your handH3027, and the moneyH3701 that was returnedH7725 to you in the mouthH6310 of your sacksH572, carry backH7725 in your handH3027: perhapsH194 it is an oversight.

13And takeH3947 your brotherH251, and ariseH6965, goH7725 again to the manH376.

14And the AlmightyH7706 1GodH410 giveH5414 you mercy before the manH376, that he may sendH7971 awayH7971 your otherH312 brotherH251 and BenjaminH1144! And I, if I be bereavedH7921 of children, am bereavedH7921.
