Genesis 43:12-23
12And takeH3947 doubleH4932 the moneyH3701 in your handH3027, and takeH7725 backH7725 in your handH3027 1the moneyH3701 that was returnedH7725 in the openingH6310 of your sacksH572; perhapsH194 it was a mistakeH4870. 13TakeH3947 your brotherH251 also, and ariseH6965, returnH7725 to the manH376; 14and may 23GodH410 AlmightyH7706 4grantH5414 you compassionH7356 in the sightH6440 of the manH376, so that he will releaseH7971 to you 5your otherH312 brotherH251 and BenjaminH1144. And as for me, 6ifH834 I am bereavedH7921 ofH7921 my sonsH7921, I am bereavedH7921!” 15So the menH376 tookH3947 7thisH2088 giftH4503, and they tookH3947 doubleH4932 the moneyH3701 in their handH3027, and BenjaminH1144; then they setH6965 outH6965 and wentH3381 downH3381 to EgyptH4714, and stoodH5975 beforeH6440 JosephH3130.
16When JosephH3130 sawH7200 BenjaminH1144 with them, he saidH559 to his 8houseH1004 stewardH834H5921, “BringH935 the menH376 into the houseH1004, and slaughterH2873 an animalH2874 and makeH3559 preparationsH3559; for the menH376 are to dineH398 with me at noonH6672.” 17So the manH376 didH6213 as JosephH3130 saidH559, and 9broughtH935 the menH376 to Joseph’sH3130 houseH1004. 18Now the menH376 wereH3372 afraidH3372, becauseH3588 they were broughtH935 to Joseph’sH3130 houseH1004; and they saidH559, “It is becauseH5921H1697 of the moneyH3701 that was returnedH7725 in our sacksH572 the firstH8462 timeH8462 that we are being broughtH935 inH935, so that he may 10attackH1556 us and 11overpowerH5307 us, and takeH3947 us as slavesH5650 with our donkeysH2543.” 19So they approachedH5066 Joseph’sH3130 houseH1004 stewardH376H834H5921, and spokeH1696 to him at the entranceH6607 of the houseH1004, 20and saidH559, “OhH994, my lordH113, we indeedH3381 cameH3381 downH3381 the firstH8462 timeH8462 to buyH7666 foodH400, 21and it happenedH1961 whenH3588 we cameH935 to the campsiteH4411, that we openedH6605 our sacksH572, and beholdH2009, 12eachH376 man’sH376 moneyH3701 was in the openingH6310 of his sackH572, our moneyH3701 in 13fullH4948. So 14we have broughtH7725 it backH7725 in our handH3027. 22We have also broughtH3381 downH3381 otherH312 moneyH3701 in our handH3027 to buyH7666 foodH400; we do not knowH3045 whoH4310 putH7760 our moneyH3701 in our sacksH572.” 23But he saidH559, “PeaceH7965 be to you, do not beH3372 afraidH3372. 15Your GodH430 and the GodH430 of your fatherH1 has givenH5414 you treasureH4301 in your sacksH572; your 16moneyH3701 was in my possessionH935.” Then 17he broughtH3318 SimeonH8095 outH3318 to them.
