Genesis 43

1And the famineH7458 was sore in the landH776. 2And it cameH935 to passH935, when they had eatenH398 upH935 the corn whichH834 they had broughtH935 outH413 of EgyptH4714, their fatherH1 saidH559 unto them, GoH935 againH7725, buyH7666 usH413 a littleH4592 foodH400. 3And JudahH3063 spake unto him, sayingH559, The manH376 didH3808 solemnlyH5749 protest unto usH413, sayingH559, Ye shall notH3808 seeH7200 my faceH6440, exceptH1115 your brotherH251 be with youH6440. 4IfH518 thou wilt sendH7971 our brotherH251 with usH7971, weH518 will goH3381 downH3381 and buyH7666 thee foodH400: 5but ifH518 thou wilt notH3808 sendH7971 him, weH3588 will notH3808 goH3381 downH3381: for the manH376 saidH559 unto usH413, Ye shall notH3808 seeH7200 my faceH6440, exceptH518 your brotherH251 be with youH3588. 6And IsraelH3478 saidH559, Wherefore dealt ye so ill with meH5046, as to tellH5046 the manH376 whether ye had yet a brotherH251? 7And they saidH559, The manH376 askedH7592 straitly concerning ourselvesH4138, and concerning our kindredH4138, sayingH559, Is your fatherH1 yet aliveH2416? have ye anotherH251 brotherH251? and weH3588 toldH5046 him accordingH5921 to the tenor of theseH428 wordsH1697: couldH376 weH3588 in anyH376 wise knowH3045 that he would sayH559, BringH3381 your brotherH251 downH3381? 8And JudahH3063 saidH559 unto IsraelH3478 his fatherH1, SendH7971 the ladH5288 with meH413, and weH587 will ariseH6965 and goH7971; that weH587 may liveH2421, and notH3808 dieH4191, bothH1571 weH587, and thou, and also our littleH2945 onesH2945. 9I will be suretyH6148 for him; of my handH3027 shalt thou requireH1245 him: ifH518 I bringH935 him notH3808 unto thee, and setH935 him beforeH6440 thee, then letH3808 meH413 bearH2398 the blameH2398 for ever: 10for exceptH3588 weH3588 had lingered, surelyH3588 weH3588 had nowH6258 returnedH7725 a second time. 11And their fatherH1 IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto them, IfH518 it be soH3651 nowH645, doH6213 this; takeH3947 of the choice fruits of the landH776 in your vesselsH3627, and carryH6213 downH3381 the manH376 a presentH4503, a littleH4592 balmH6875, and a littleH4592 honeyH1706, spicery and myrrhH3910, nutsH992, and almondsH8247: 12and takeH3947 doubleH4932 moneyH3701 in your handH3027; and the moneyH3701 that was returnedH7725 in the mouthH6310 of your sacksH572 carryH3947 againH7725 in your handH3027; peradventure it was an oversight: 13takeH3947 also your brotherH251, and ariseH6965, goH7725 againH7725 unto the manH376: 14and GodH410 AlmightyH7706 giveH5414 youH834 mercyH7356 beforeH6440 the manH376, that he may releaseH7971 unto youH834 your otherH312 brotherH251 and BenjaminH1144. And ifH834 I be bereavedH7921 of my childrenH7921, I am bereavedH7921. 15And the menH376 tookH3947 that presentH4503, and they tookH3947 doubleH4932 moneyH3701 in their handH3027, and BenjaminH1144; and roseH6965 upH6965, and wentH3381 downH3381 to EgyptH4714, and stoodH5975 beforeH6440 JosephH3130. 16And when JosephH3130 sawH7200 BenjaminH1144 with them, he saidH559 to the stewardH376 of his houseH1004, BringH935 the menH376 intoH935 the houseH1004, and slayH2873, and makeH3559 readyH3559; for the menH376 shall dineH398 with meH5921 at noonH6672. 17And the manH376 didH6213 as JosephH3130 bade; and the manH376 broughtH935 the menH376 intoH935 Joseph’sH3130 houseH1004. 18And the menH376 were afraidH3372, becauseH3588 they were broughtH935 intoH935 Joseph’sH3130 houseH1004; and they saidH559, BecauseH3588 of the moneyH3701 that was returnedH7725 in our sacksH572 at the firstH8462 time are weH587 broughtH935 in; that he may seekH1556 occasionH1556 againstH5921 usH5921, and fallH5307 uponH5921 usH5921, and takeH3947 usH5921 for bondmen, and our asses. 19And they cameH5066 nearH5066 to the stewardH376 of Joseph’sH3130 houseH1004, and they spake unto him at the doorH6607 of the houseH1004, 20and saidH559, Oh my lordH113, we cameH3381 indeedH3381 downH3381 at the firstH8462 time to buyH7666 foodH400: 21and it cameH935 to passH935, when weH3588 cameH935 to the lodgingH4411 placeH1961, that weH3588 openedH6605 our sacksH572, and, beholdH2009, everyH376 man’sH376 moneyH3701 was in the mouthH6310 of his sackH572, our moneyH3701 in fullH7725 weightH4948: and weH3588 have broughtH935 it againH7725 in our handH3027. 22And otherH312 moneyH3701 have we broughtH3381 downH3381 in our handH3027 to buyH7666 foodH400: we knowH3045 notH3808 who putH7760 our moneyH3701 in our sacksH572. 23And he saidH559, PeaceH7965 be to youH5414, fearH3372 notH408: your GodH430, and the GodH430 of your fatherH1, hath givenH5414 youH5414 treasureH4301 in your sacksH572: I had your moneyH3701. And he broughtH935 SimeonH8095 outH3318 unto them. 24And the manH376 broughtH935 the menH376 intoH935 Joseph’sH3130 houseH1004, and gaveH5414 them waterH4325, and they washedH7364 their feetH7272; and he gaveH5414 their asses provender. 25And they madeH3559 readyH3559 the presentH4503 againstH935 JosephH3130 cameH935 at noonH6672: for they heardH8085 that they should eatH398 breadH3899 there. 26And when JosephH3130 cameH935 homeH1004, they broughtH935 him the presentH4503 whichH834 was in their handH3027 intoH935 the houseH1004, and bowedH7812 downH7812 themselvesH7812 to him to the earthH776. 27And he askedH7592 them of their welfareH7965, and saidH559, Is your fatherH1 wellH7965, the oldH2205 manH2205 of whomH834 ye spake? Is he yet aliveH2416? 28And they saidH559, Thy servantH5650 our fatherH1 is wellH7965, he is yet aliveH2416. And they bowedH7812 the head, and made obeisance. 29And he liftedH5375 upH5375 his eyesH5869, and sawH7200 BenjaminH1144 his brotherH251, his mother’sH517 sonH1121, and saidH559, Is this your youngestH6996 brotherH251, of whomH834 ye spake unto meH413? And he saidH559, GodH430 be gracious unto thee, my sonH1121. 30And JosephH3130 madeH4116 hasteH4116; for his bowels did yearn uponH935 his brotherH251: and he soughtH1245 whereH8033 to weepH1058; and he enteredH935 intoH413 his chamberH2315, and weptH1058 there. 31And he washedH7364 his faceH6440, and cameH3318 outH3318; and he refrained himselfH6440, and saidH559, SetH7760 on breadH3899. 32And they setH7760 on for him by himselfH1931, and for them by themselvesH905, and for the EgyptiansH4713, whichH1931 didH3808 eatH398 with him, by themselvesH905: becauseH3588 the EgyptiansH4713 might notH3808 eatH398 breadH3899 with the HebrewsH5680; for that is an abominationH8441 unto the EgyptiansH4713. 33And they satH3427 beforeH6440 him, the firstbornH1060 accordingH413 to his birthrightH1062, and the youngestH6810 accordingH413 to his youthH6812: and the menH376 marveled one with anotherH7453. 34And he tookH5375 and sentH3027 messes unto them from beforeH6440 him: but Benjamin’sH1144 mess was fiveH2568 timesH3027 soH5375 muchH7235 as anyH3605 of theirs. And they drankH8354, and were merry with him.
