Genesis 43:1-14

11Now the famineH7458 was severeH3515 in the landH776. 2So it cameH1961 about whenH3512 they had finishedH3615 eatingH398 the grainH7668 whichH834 they had broughtH935 from EgyptH4714, that their fatherH1 saidH559 to them, “GoH7725 backH7725, buyH7666 us a littleH4592 foodH400.” 3JudahH3063 spokeH559 to him, however, sayingH559, “2The manH376 solemnlyH5749 warnedH5749 3us, ‘You shall not seeH7200 my faceH6440 unlessH1115 your brotherH251 is with you.’ 4IfH518 you sendH7971 our brotherH251 with us, we will goH3381 downH3381 and buyH7666 you foodH400. 5But ifH518 you do not sendH7971 him, we will not goH3381 downH3381; for the manH376 saidH559 to us, ‘You will not seeH7200 my faceH6440 unlessH1115 your brotherH251 is with you.’” 6Then IsraelH3478 saidH559, “WhyH4100 did you treatH7489 me so badlyH7489 4by tellingH5046 the manH376 whether you stillH5750 had another brotherH251?” 7But they saidH559, “The manH376 questionedH7592 particularlyH7592 about us and our relativesH4138, sayingH559, ‘5Is your fatherH1 stillH5750 aliveH2416? HaveH3426 you another brotherH251?’ So we 6answeredH5046 his questionsH1697. Could we possiblyH3045 knowH3045 that he would sayH559, ‘BringH3381 your brotherH251 downH3381’?” 8JudahH3063 saidH559 to his fatherH1 IsraelH3478, “SendH7971 the ladH5288 with me and we will ariseH6965 and goH1980, 7that we may liveH2421 and not dieH4191, we as wellH1571 as you and our littleH2945 onesH2945. 98I myselfH595 will be suretyH6148 for him; 9you may holdH1245H3027 me responsibleH4480H3027 for him. IfH518 I do not bringH935 him back to you and setH3322 him beforeH6440 you, then 10let me bearH2398 the blameH2398 before you foreverH3605H3117. 10For ifH3884 we had not delayedH4102, surelyH3588 by nowH6258 we could have returnedH7725 twiceH6471.”

11Then their fatherH1 IsraelH3478 saidH559 to them, “IfH518 it must be soH3651, thenH645 doH6213 thisH2088: takeH3947 someH4480 of the bestH2173 productsH2173 of the landH776 in your 11bagsH3627, and carryH3381 downH3381 to the manH376 12as a presentH4503, a littleH4592 1314balmH6875 and a littleH4592 honeyH1706, 15aromaticH5219 gumH5219 and 16myrrhH3910, pistachioH992 nutsH992 and almondsH8247. 12TakeH3947 doubleH4932 the moneyH3701 in your handH3027, and takeH7725 backH7725 in your handH3027 17the moneyH3701 that was returnedH7725 in the mouthH6310 of your sacksH572; perhapsH194 it was a mistakeH4870. 13TakeH3947 your brotherH251 also, and ariseH6965, returnH7725 to the manH376; 14and may 1819GodH410 AlmightyH7706 20grantH5414 you compassionH7356 in the sightH6440 of the manH376, so that he will releaseH7971 to you 21your otherH312 brotherH251 and BenjaminH1144. And as for me, 22ifH834 I am bereavedH7921 of my childrenH7921, I am bereavedH7921.”
