Genesis 44:18-34

18Then JudahH3063 cameH5066 nearH5066 unto him, and saidH559, OhH4994 my lordH113, letH4994 thy servantH5650, I prayH4994 thee, speakH1696 a wordH1697 in my lord’sH113 earsH241, and letH4994 notH408 thine angerH639 burnH2734 againstH413 thy servantH5650: for thou art evenH3588 as PharaohH6547. 19My lordH113 askedH7592 his servantsH5650, sayingH559, Have ye a fatherH1, or a brotherH251? 20And weH905 saidH559 unto my lordH113, WeH905 have a fatherH1, an oldH2205 manH2205, and a childH3206 of his oldH2205 ageH2208, a littleH6996 one; and his brotherH251 is deadH4191, and he aloneH905 is leftH3498 of his motherH517, and his fatherH1 loveth him. 21And thou saidst unto thy servantsH5650, BringH3381 him downH3381 unto meH413, that I may setH7760 mine eyesH5869 uponH5921 him. 22And weH3201 saidH559 unto my lordH113, The ladH5288 cannotH3808 leaveH5800 his fatherH1: for if he should leaveH5800 his fatherH1, his fatherH1 would dieH4191. 23And thou saidst unto thy servantsH5650, ExceptH518 your youngestH6996 brotherH251 comeH3381 downH3381 with youH518, ye shall seeH7200 my faceH6440 noH3808 moreH3254. 24And it cameH1961 to passH1961 when weH3588 cameH1961 upH5927 unto thy servantH5650 my fatherH1, weH3588 toldH5046 him the wordsH1697 of my lordH113. 25And our fatherH1 saidH559, GoH7725 againH7725, buyH7666 usH7725 a littleH4592 foodH400. 26And weH3588 saidH559, WeH3588 cannotH3808 goH3381 downH3381: ifH518 our youngestH6996 brotherH251 be with usH3588, then will weH3588 goH3381 downH3381: for weH3588 may notH3808 seeH7200 the man’sH376 faceH6440, exceptH518 our youngestH6996 brotherH251 be with usH3588. 27And thy servantH5650 my fatherH1 saidH559 unto usH413, Ye knowH3045 that my wifeH802 bare meH413 twoH8147 sonsH3205: 28and the one wentH3318 outH3318 from meH7200, and I saidH559, SurelyH389 he is tornH2963 in piecesH2963; and I have notH3808 seenH7200 him since: 29and if ye takeH3947 this one also from meH6440, and mischief befall him, ye shall bringH3381 downH3381 my grayH7872 hairsH7872 with sorrow to the grave. 30NowH6258 therefore when I comeH935 to thy servantH5650 my fatherH1, and the ladH5288 be notH369 with usH413; seeing that his lifeH5315 is boundH7194 upH935 in the lad’sH5288 lifeH5315; 31it shall comeH1961 to passH1961, when he seeth that the ladH5288 is notH369 with usH3588, that he will dieH4191: and thy servantsH5650 shall bringH3381 downH3381 the grayH7872 hairsH7872 of thy servantH5650 our fatherH1 with sorrowH3015 to the grave. 32For thy servantH5650 becameH6148 suretyH6148 for the ladH5288 unto my fatherH1, sayingH559, IfH518 I bringH935 him notH3808 unto thee, then shall I bearH2398 the blameH2398 to my fatherH1 for ever. 33NowH6258 therefore, letH4994 thy servantH5650, I prayH4994 thee, abideH3427 insteadH8478 of the ladH5288 a bondman to my lordH113; and letH4994 the ladH5288 goH5927 upH5927 with his brethrenH251. 34For howH349 shall I goH5927 upH5927 to my fatherH1, and the ladH5288 be notH369 with meH413? lestH6435 I seeH7200 the evilH7451 that shall comeH5927 on my fatherH1.
