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 noonH6672.12 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 donkeysH2543.3 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 foodH400:4 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.5 24And the manH376 broughtH935 the menH582 into Joseph’sH3130 houseH1004, and gaveH5414 them waterH4325, and they washedH7364 their feetH7272; and he gaveH5414 their donkeysH2543 provenderH4554. 25And they made readyH3559 the presentH4503 againstH5704 JosephH3130 cameH935 at noonH6672: for they heardH8085 that they should eatH398 breadH3899 there.
26And when JosephH3130 cameH935 homeH1004, they broughtH935 him the presentH4503 which was in their handH3027 into the houseH1004, and bowedH7812 themselves to him to the earthH776. 27And he askedH7592 them of their welfareH7965, and saidH559, Is your fatherH1 wellH7965, the old manH2205 of whom ye spakeH559? Is he yet aliveH2416?67 28And they answeredH559, Thy servantH5650 our fatherH1 is in good healthH7965, he is yet aliveH2416. And they bowed down their headsH6915, and made obeisanceH7812. 29And he lifted upH5375 his eyesH5869, and sawH7200 his brotherH251 BenjaminH1144, his mother’sH517 sonH1121, and saidH559, Is this your youngerH6996 brotherH251, of whom ye spakeH559 unto me? And he saidH559, GodH430 be graciousH2603 unto thee, my sonH1121. 30And JosephH3130 made hasteH4116; for his bowelsH7356 did yearnH3648 upon his brotherH251: and he soughtH1245 where to weepH1058; and he enteredH935 into his chamberH2315, and weptH1058 there.
