Genesis 43:12-23

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 bereavedH7921.1

15And the menH582 tookH3947 thatH2063 presentH4503, and they tookH3947 doubleH4932 moneyH3701 in their handH3027, and BenjaminH1144; and rose upH6965, and went downH3381 to EgyptH4714, and stoodH5975 beforeH6440 JosephH3130. 16And when JosephH3130 sawH7200 BenjaminH1144 withH854 them, he saidH559 to the ruler of his houseH1004, BringH935 these menH582 homeH1004, and slayH2874H2873, and make readyH3559; for these menH582 shall dineH398 with me at noonH6672.23 17And the manH376 didH6213 as JosephH3130 badeH559; and the manH376 broughtH935 the menH582 into Joseph’sH3130 houseH1004. 18And the menH582 were afraidH3372, because they were broughtH935 into Joseph’sH3130 houseH1004; and they saidH559, BecauseH1697 of the moneyH3701 that was returnedH7725 in our sacksH572 at the first timeH8462 are we brought inH935; that he may seek occasionH1556 against us, and fallH5307 upon us, and takeH3947 us for bondmenH5650, and our donkeysH2543.4 19And they came nearH5066 to the stewardH376 of Joseph’sH3130 houseH1004, and they communedH1696 with him at the doorH6607 of the houseH1004, 20And saidH559, OH994 sirH113, we came indeedH3381 downH3381 at the first timeH8462 to buyH7666 foodH400:5 21And it came to pass, when we cameH935 to the innH4411, that we openedH6605 our sacksH572, and, behold, every man’sH376 moneyH3701 was in the mouthH6310 of his sackH572, our moneyH3701 in full weightH4948: and we have brought it againH7725 in our handH3027. 22And otherH312 moneyH3701 have we brought downH3381 in our handsH3027 to buyH7666 foodH400: we cannot tellH3045 who putH7760 our moneyH3701 in our sacksH572. 23And he saidH559, PeaceH7965 be to you, fearH3372 not: your GodH430, and the GodH430 of your fatherH1, hath givenH5414 you treasureH4301 in your sacksH572: I hadH935 your moneyH3701. And he broughtH3318 SimeonH8095 out unto them.6
