Genesis 43:1-14

1And the famineH7458 was soreH3515 in the landH776.

2And it came to pass, when they had eaten upH398H3615 the foodH7668 which they had brought outH935 of EgyptH4714, their fatherH1 saidH559 unto them, Go againH7725, buyH7666 us a littleH4592 foodH400.

3And JudahH3063 spakeH559 unto him, sayingH559, The manH376 did solemnlyH5749 protestH5749 unto us, sayingH559, Ye shall not seeH7200 my faceH6440, exceptH1115 your brotherH251 be with you.1

4If thou wiltH3426 sendH7971 our brotherH251 with us, we will go downH3381 and buyH7666 thee foodH400:

5But if thou wilt not sendH7971 him, we will not go downH3381: for the manH376 saidH559 unto us, Ye shall not seeH7200 my faceH6440, except your brotherH251 be with you.

6And IsraelH3478 saidH559, Wherefore dealt ye so illH7489 with me, as to tellH5046 the manH376 whether ye had yet a brotherH251?

7And they saidH559, The manH376 askedH7592 us straitlyH7592 of our state, and of our kindredH4138, sayingH559, Is your fatherH1 yet aliveH2416? have yeH3426 another brotherH251? and we toldH5046 him accordingH5921 to the tenorH6310 of these wordsH1697: could we certainlyH3045 knowH3045 that he would sayH559, BringH3381 your brotherH251 downH3381?234

8And JudahH3063 saidH559 unto IsraelH3478 his fatherH1, SendH7971 the ladH5288 with me, and we will ariseH6965 and goH3212; that we may liveH2421, and not dieH4191, both we, and thou, and also our little onesH2945.

9I will be suretyH6148 for him; of my handH3027 shalt thou requireH1245 him: ifH518 I bringH935 him notH518 unto thee, and setH3322 him before theeH6440, then let me bear the blameH2398 for everH3117:

10For exceptH3884 we had lingeredH4102, surely now we had returnedH7725 this second timeH6471.5

11And their fatherH1 IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto them, If it must be so nowH645, doH6213 this; takeH3947 of the best fruitsH2173 in the landH776 in your vesselsH3627, and carry downH3381 the manH376 a presentH4503, a littleH4592 balmH6875, and a littleH4592 honeyH1706, spicesH5219, and myrrhH3910, nutsH992, and almondsH8247:

12And takeH3947 doubleH4932 moneyH3701 in your handH3027; and the moneyH3701 that was brought againH7725 in the mouthH6310 of your sacksH572, carry it againH7725 in your handH3027; peradventure it was an oversightH4870:

13TakeH3947 also your brotherH251, and ariseH6965, go againH7725 unto the manH376:

14And GodH410 AlmightyH7706 giveH5414 you mercyH7356 beforeH6440 the manH376, that he may send awayH7971 your otherH312 brotherH251, and BenjaminH1144. IfH834 I be bereavedH7921 of my children, I am bereavedH7921.6
