Genesis 42:15-38

15HerebyH2063 ye shall be provedH974: By the lifeH2416 of PharaohH6547 ye shall not go forthH3318 hence, except your youngestH6996 brotherH251 comeH935 hither. 16SendH7971 oneH259 of you, and let him fetchH3947 your brotherH251, and ye shall be kept in prisonH631, that your wordsH1697 may be provedH974, whether there be any truthH571 inH854 you: or elseH3808 by the lifeH2416 of PharaohH6547 surely ye are spiesH7270.1 17And he put them all togetherH622 into wardH4929 threeH7969 daysH3117.2 18And JosephH3130 saidH559 unto them the thirdH7992 dayH3117, This doH6213, and liveH2421; for I fearH3373 GodH430: 19If ye be trueH3651 men, let oneH259 of your brethrenH251 be boundH631 in the houseH1004 of your prisonH4929: goH3212 ye, carryH935 cornH7668 for the famineH7459 of your housesH1004: 20But bringH935 your youngestH6996 brotherH251 unto me; so shall your wordsH1697 be verifiedH539, and ye shall not dieH4191. And they didH6213 so.

21And they saidH559 oneH376 to anotherH251, We are verilyH61 guiltyH818 concerning our brotherH251, in thatH834 we sawH7200 the anguishH6869 of his soulH5315, when he besoughtH2603 us, and we would not hearH8085; therefore is this distressH6869 comeH935 upon us. 22And ReubenH7205 answeredH6030 them, sayingH559, Spake IH559 not unto you, sayingH559, Do not sinH2398 against the childH3206; and ye would not hearH8085? therefore, behold, also his bloodH1818 is requiredH1875. 23And they knewH3045 not that JosephH3130 understoodH8085 them; for he spake unto them by an interpreterH3887.3 24And he turned himself aboutH5437 from them, and weptH1058; and returned to them againH7725, and communedH1696 with them, and tookH3947 from them SimeonH8095, and boundH631 him before their eyesH5869.

25Then JosephH3130 commandedH6680 to fillH4390 their sacksH3627 with cornH1250, and to restoreH7725 every man’sH376 moneyH3701 into his sackH8242, and to giveH5414 them provisionH6720 for the wayH1870: and thusH3651 did heH6213 unto them. 26And they ladedH5375 their assesH2543 with the cornH7668, and departedH3212 thence. 27And as oneH259 of them openedH6605 his sackH8242 to giveH5414 his assH2543 provenderH4554 in the innH4411, he espiedH7200 his moneyH3701; for, behold, it was in his sack’sH572 mouthH6310. 28And he saidH559 unto his brethrenH251, My moneyH3701 is restoredH7725; and, loH2009, it is even in my sackH572: and their heartH3820 failedH3318 them, and they were afraidH2729, sayingH559 oneH376 to anotherH251, What is this that GodH430 hath doneH6213 unto us?4

29And they cameH935 unto JacobH3290 their fatherH1 unto the landH776 of CanaanH3667, and toldH5046 him all that befellH7136 unto them; sayingH559, 30The manH376, who is the lordH113 of the landH776, spakeH1696 roughlyH7186 to us, and tookH5414 us for spiesH7270 of the countryH776.5 31And we saidH559 unto him, We are trueH3651 men; we are no spiesH7270: 32We be twelveH8147H6240 brethrenH251, sonsH1121 of our fatherH1; oneH259 is not, and the youngestH6996 is this dayH3117 with our fatherH1 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667. 33And the manH376, the lordH113 of the countryH776, saidH559 unto us, Hereby shall I knowH3045 that ye are trueH3651 men; leaveH3240 oneH259 of your brethrenH251 here with me, and takeH3947 food for the famineH7459 of your householdsH1004, and be goneH3212: 34And bringH935 your youngestH6996 brotherH251 unto me: then shall I knowH3045 that ye are no spiesH7270, but that ye are trueH3651 men: so will I deliverH5414 you your brotherH251, and ye shall traffickH5503 in the landH776.

35And it came to pass as they emptiedH7324 their sacksH8242, that, behold, every man’sH376 bundleH6872 of moneyH3701 was in his sackH8242: and when both they and their fatherH1 sawH7200 the bundlesH6872 of moneyH3701, they were afraidH3372. 36And JacobH3290 their fatherH1 saidH559 unto them, Me have ye bereavedH7921 of my children: JosephH3130 is not, and SimeonH8095 is not, and ye will takeH3947 BenjaminH1144 away: all these things are against me. 37And ReubenH7205 spakeH559 unto his fatherH1, sayingH559, SlayH4191 my twoH8147 sonsH1121, if I bringH935 him not to thee: deliverH5414 him into my handH3027, and I will bring him to thee againH7725. 38And he saidH559, My sonH1121 shall not go downH3381 with you; for his brotherH251 is deadH4191, and he is leftH7604 alone: if mischiefH611 befallH7122 him by the wayH1870 in the which ye goH3212, then shall ye bring downH3381 my gray hairsH7872 with sorrowH3015 to the graveH7585.
