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
