1: And when sawH7200 JacobH3290 thatH3588 there wasH3426 grainH7668 in Egypt,H4714 then saidH0559 JacobH3290 to his sons,H1121 whyH4100 do you look at one another?H7200

2: and he said,H0559 indeed,H2009 I have heardH8085 thatH3588 there isH3426 grainH7668 in Egypt-H4714 go downH3381 to that place,H8033 and buyH7666 there-H8033 that we may live,H2421 and notH3808 die.H4191

3: So went downH3381 brothersH0251 of JosephH3130 tenH6235 to buyH7666 grainH1250 in Egypt.H4714

4: ButH0853 Benjamin,H1144 brother,H0251 of JosephH3130 notH3808 did sendH7971 JacobH3290 withH0854 his brothers-H0251 forH3588 he said,H0559 lestH6435 befall himH7122 harm.H0611

5: And wentH0935 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 to buy grainH7666 amongH8432 those who journeyed,H0935 forH3588 wasH1961 the famineH7458 in the landH0776 of Canaan.H3667

6: And JosephH3130 wasH1931 the governorH7989 overH5921 the land,H0776 [and] it [was]H1931 he who soldH7666 to allH3605 the peopleH5971 of the land.H0776 And cameH0935 brothersH0251 of Joseph,H3130 and bowed downH7812 with [their] facesH0639 to the ground.H0776

7: And sawH7200 JosephH3130 -H0853 his brothersH0251 and recognized them,H5234 but he acted as a strangerH5234 to them,H0413 and spokeH1696 to themH0854 roughly.H7186 and he saidH0559 to themH0413 from whereH0370 do you comeH0935 and they said,H0559 from the landH0776 of CanaanH3667 to buyH7666 food.H0400

8: So recognizedH5234 JosephH3130 -H0853 his brothers,H0251 but theyH1992 notH3808 did recognize him.H5234

9: And rememberedH2142 JosephH3130 -H0853 the dreamsH2472 whichH0834 he had dreamedH2492 and he saidH0559 to themH0413 spiesH7270 you [are]!H0859 to seeH7200 -H0853 the nakednessH6172 of the landH0776 you have come.H0935

10: And they saidH0559 to himH0413 No,H3808 my lord,H0113 but your servantsH5650 have comeH0935 to buyH7666 food.H0400

11: AllH3605 sonsH1121 of manH0376 oneH0259 we [are]-H5168 honest [men]H3651 we [are]H0587 notH3808 areH1961 your servantsH5650 spies.H7270

12: But he saidH0559 to them,H0413 NoH3808 butH3588 the nakednessH6172 of the landH0776 you have comeH0935 to see.H7200

13: And they said,H0559 twoH8147 [and] tenH6240 your servantsH5650 brothers,H0251 we [are]H0587 the sonsH1121 of manH0376 oneH0259 in the landH0776 of Canaan-H3667 and in fact,H2009 the youngest [is]H6996 withH0854 our fatherH0001 today,H3117 and one [is]H0259 no more.H0369

14: But saidH0559 to themH0413 Joseph,H3130 it [is]H1931 asH0834 I spokeH1696 to youH0413 saying,H0559 spiesH7270 You [are]!H0859

15: in this [manner]H2063 you shall be tested:H0974 by the life H2416 of Pharaoh,H6547 notH0518 you shall go forthH3318 by this,H2088 exceptH3588 ifH0518 comesH0935 your brotherH0251 youngestH6996 here.H2008

16: SendH7971 of youH4480 oneH0259 and let him bringH3947 -H0853 your brother,H0251 and youH0859 shall be kept in prison,H0631 that may be testedH0974 your wordsH1697 whether truthH0571 [is] in you,H0854 or elseH0518 not,H3808 by the life H2416 of PharaohH6547 surelyH3588 spiesH7270 you [are].H0859

17: So he put all togetherH0622 themH0853 inH0413 prisonH4929 threeH7969 days.H3117

18: And saidH0559 to themH0413 Joseph,H3130 on dayH3117 the thirdH7992 thisH2063 do,H6213 and live-H2421 -H0853 God-H0430 IH0589 fear.H3372

19: IfH0518 honest [men]H3651 you [are],H0859 of your brothersH0251 oneH0259 let be confinedH0631 in the houseH1004 of imprisonment-H4929 but you,H0859 goH1980 and carryH0935 grainH7668 for the famineH7459 of your houses.H1004

20: AndH0853 your brotherH0251 youngestH6996 bringH0935 to me,H0413 so will be verifiedH0539 your words,H1697 and notH3808 you shall die.H4191 And they didH6213 so.H3651

21: And they saidH0559 oneH0376 toH0413 another,H0251 trulyH0061 guiltyH0818 we [are]H0587 concerningH5921 our brother,H0251 forH0834 we sawH7200 the anguishH6869 of his soul ,H5315 when he pleadedH2603 with usH0413 and notH3808 we did listen-H8085 uponH5921 thusH3651 has comeH0935 upon usH0413 distressH6869 this.H2063

22: And answeredH6030 ReubenH7205 themH0853 saying,H0559 did notH3808 I speakH0559 to youH0413 saying,H0559 notH0408 do sinH2398 against the boy?H3206 and notH3808 you would listen!H8085 thereforeH1571 his blood,H1818 behold,H2009 is required.H1875

23: But theyH1992 notH3808 did knowH3045 thatH3588 understood [them]H8085 Joseph,H3130 for throughH3588 an interpreterH3887 he spoke to them.H0996

24: And he turned himself awayH5437 from themH5921 and wept-H1058 and he returned againH7725 to themH0413 and talkedH1696 with themH0413 and he tookH3947 from themH0853 -H0853 Simeon,H8095 and boundH0631 himH0853 before their eyes.H5869

25: And commandedH6680 JosephH3130 then to fillH4390 -H0853 their sacksH3627 with grain,H1250 and to restoreH7725 silverH3701 of every manH0376 toH0413 his sack,H8242 and to giveH5414 provisionsH6720 for the journey.H1870 And he didH6213 thus.H3651

26: So they loadedH5375 -H0853 the grain,H7668 uponH5921 their donkeys H2543 and departedH1980 from there.H8033

27: But as openedH6605 one [of them]H0259 -H0853 his sackH8242 to giveH5414 feedH4554 to his donkey H2543 at the lodging,H4411 then he sawH7200 -H0853 his silver-H3701 and there,H2009 it [was]H1931 in the mouthH6310 of the sack.H0572

28: So he saidH0559 toH0413 his brothers,H0251 has been restoredH7725 my silver,H3701 andH1571 there it is,H2009 in my sack.H0572 And failed [them]H3318 their heartsH3820 and they were afraid,H2729 oneH0376 toH0413 another,H0251 saying,H0559 what [is]H4100 thisH2063 [that] has doneH6213 GodH0430

29: And they wentH0935 toH0413 JacobH3290 their fatherH0001 in the landH0776 of Canaan,H3667 and toldH5046 -H0853 allH3605 that had happenedH7136 to themH0853 saying,H0559

30: spokeH1696 the manH0582 lordH0113 of the landH0776 to usH0854 roughly,H7186 and tookH5414 usH0853 for spiesH7270 -H0853 of the country.H0776

31: But we saidH0559 to himH0413 honest [men]H3651 we [are]-H0587 notH3808 we areH1961 spies.H7270

32: TwoH8147 [and] tenH6240 we [are]H0587 brothers,H0251 sonsH1121 of our father-H0001 one [is]H0259 no [more],H0369 and the youngestH6996 this dayH3117 [is] withH0854 our fatherH0001 in the landH0776 of Canaan.H3667

33: And saidH0559 to usH0413 the man,H0376 lordH0113 of the country,H0776 by thisH2063 I will knowH3045 thatH3588 honestH3651 you [are]:H0859 of your brothersH0251 oneH0259 leave [here]H3240 with me,H0854 andH0853 [food for] the famineH7459 of your householdsH1004 takeH3947 and be gone.H1980

34: And bringH0935 -H0853 your brotherH0251 youngestH6996 to me.H0413 So I shall knowH3045 thatH3588 notH3808 spiesH7270 you [are]H0859 butH3588 honestH3651 [that] you [are]H0859 -.H0853 your brother,H0251 I will grantH5414 andH0853 in the landH0776 you may trade.H5503

35: And it came to passH1961 as theyH1992 emptiedH7324 their sacks,H8242 that surprisingly,H2009 of each manH0376 bundleH6872 of silver [was]H3701 in his sack-H8242 and when sawH7200 -H0853 the bundlesH6872 of silver,H3701 theyH1992 and their fatherH0001 and they were afraid.H3372

36: And saidH0559 to themH0413 JacobH3290 their fatherH0001 me,H0853 You have bereaved.H7921 JosephH3130 is no [more],H0369 and SimeonH8095 is no [more],H0369 andH0853 BenjaminH1144 you want to take.H3947 Against meH5921 areH1961 all these things!H3605

37: and spokeH0559 ReubenH7205 toH0413 his father,H0001 saying,H0559 -H0853 my twoH8147 sons,H1121 you may slay,H4191 ifH0518 notH3808 I do bring him [back]H0935 to you!H0413 putH5414 himH0853 inH5921 my hands,H3027 and IH0589 will bring him backH7725 to you.H0413

38: But he said,H0559 notH3808 shall go downH3381 my sonH1121 with you,H5973 forH3588 his brotherH0251 is dead,H4191 and heH1931 aloneH0905 is left-H7604 and if should befall himH7122 any harmH0611 along the wayH1870 whichH0834 you goH1980 then you would bring downH3381 -H0853 my gray hairH7872 in sorrowH3015 to Sheol.H7585
