1: Now the famineH7458 [was] severeH3515 in the land.H0776

2: And it came to pass,H1961 whenH0834 they had finishedH3615 eatingH0398 -H0853 the grainH7668 whichH0834 they had broughtH0935 from EgyptH4714 that saidH0559 to themH0413 their fatherH0001 go back,H7725 buyH7666 a littleH4592 food.H0400

3: But spokeH0559 to himH0413 JudahH3063 saying,H0559 solemnlyH5749 warnedH5749 the manH0376 saying,H0559 notH3808 you shall seeH7200 my face,H6440 unlessH1115 your brother [is]H0251 with you.H0854

4: IfH0518 youH3426 sendH7971 -H0853 our brotherH0251 with us,H0854 we will go downH3381 and buyH7666 food.H0400

5: But ifH0518 notH0369 you will send [him],H7971 notH3808 we will go down,H3381 forH3588 the manH0376 saidH0559 to us,H0413 notH3808 you shall seeH7200 my face,H6440 unlessH1115 your brother [is]H0251 with you.H0854

6: And saidH0559 Israel,H3478 whyH4100 dealt you illH7489 [as] to tellH5046 the man,H0376 you had yetH5750 a brother?H0251

7: but they said,H0559 askedH7592 specificallyH7592 the manH0376 and our family,H4138 saying,H0559 [Is] stillH5750 your fatherH0001 alive ?H2416 haveH3426 a brother?H0251 and we toldH5046 according toH5921 mouthH6310 the words.H1697 these,H0428 Could possiblyH3045 we have knownH3045 thatH3588 he would say,H0559 bring downH3381 -H0853 your brother?H0251

8: and saidH0559 JudahH3063 toH0413 IsraelH3478 his father,H0001 SendH7971 the boyH5288 with me,H0854 and we will ariseH6965 and go-H1980 that we may live,H2421 and notH3808 die,H4191 bothH1571 we,H0587 andH1571 you,H0859 [and] alsoH1571 our little ones.H2945

9: IH0595 will guaranteeH6148 from my handH3027 Shall you requireH1245 ifH0518 notH3808 I bring him [back]H0935 to youH0413 and set himH3322 before you,H6440 then let bear the blameH2398 allH3605 time-H3117

10: forH3588 if notH3884 we had lingered,H4102 surelyH3588 by nowH6258 we would have returnedH7725 thisH2088 second time.H6471

11: And saidH0559 to themH0413 IsraelH3478 their father,H0001 ifH0518 soH3651 then,H0645 thisH2063 do-H6213 Take someH3947 of the best fruitsH2173 of the landH0776 in your vessels,H3627 and carry downH3381 for the manH0582 a present,H4503 a littleH4592 balm,H6875 and a littleH4592 honey,H1706 spices,H5219 and myrrh,H3910 pistachios,H0992 and almonds.H8247

12: And silverH3701 doubleH4932 takeH3947 in your hand-H3027 andH0853 the silverH3701 that was returnedH7725 in the mouthH6310 of your sacks,H0572 take backH7725 in your hand.H3027 PerhapsH0194 an oversightH4870 it [was].H1931

13: AndH0853 your brother,H0251 take alsoH3947 and arise,H6965 go backH7725 toH0413 the man-H0376

14: and GodH0410 AlmightyH7706 may giveH5414 mercyH7356 beforeH6440 the man,H0376 that he may releaseH7971 -H0853 brotherH0251 other,H0312 andH0853 Benjamin.H1144 And IH0589 ifH0834 am bereaved,H7921 I am bereaved.H7921

15: So tookH3947 the menH0376 -H0853 giftH4503 this,H2063 and doubleH4932 the silverH3701 they tookH3947 in their hand,H3027 andH0853 Benjamin-H1144 and arose,H6965 and went downH3381 to Egypt,H4714 and they stoodH5975 beforeH6440 Joseph.H3130

16: And when sawH7200 JosephH3130 with themH0854 -H0853 Benjamin,H1144 then he saidH0559 to the stewardH0834 ofH5921 his house,H1004 takeH0935 -H0853 [these] menH0582 to my home,H1004 and slaughterH2873 animal,H2874 and make ready-H3559 forH3588 with meH0854 will dineH0398 [these] menH0582 at noon.H6672

17: And didH6213 the manH0376 asH0834 orderedH0559 Joseph-H3130 and broughtH0935 the manH0376 -H0853 the menH0376 into houseH1004 of Joseph.H3130

18: And were afraidH3372 the men,H0376 becauseH3588 they were broughtH0935 into houseH1004 of Joseph-H3130 And they said,H0559 [it is] becauseH5921 ofH1697 the silverH3701 which was returnedH7725 in our sacksH0572 the first timeH8462 weH0587 that are brought in,H0935 that he may assaultH1556 against usH5921 and fallH5307 upon usH5921 and to takeH3947 usH0853 as slaves,H5650 and withH0853 our donkeys .H2543

19: And they drew nearH5066 toH0413 the stewardH0376 -H0834 ofH5921 houseH1004 of Joseph,H3130 and they talkedH1696 with himH0413 at the doorH6607 of the house.H1004

20: and said,H0559 -H0994 sir,H0113 indeedH3381 we came downH3381 the first timeH8462 to buyH7666 food.H0400

21: But it came to pass,H1961 whenH3588 we cameH0935 toH0413 the encampment,H4411 that we openedH6605 -H0853 our sacks,H0572 and there,H2009 silver [was]H3701 [each] manH0376 in the mouthH6310 of his sack,H0572 our silverH3701 in full weight.H4948 So we have brought backH7725 itH0853 in our hand.H3027

22: And silverH3701 otherH0312 we have brought downH3381 in our handsH3027 to buyH7666 food-H0400 notH3808 we do knowH3045 whoH4310 putH7760 our silverH3701 in our sacks.H0572

23: But he said,H0559 Peace [be]H7965 NotH0408 do be afraid-H3372 your GodH0430 and the GodH0430 of your father,H0001 has givenH5414 treasureH4301 in your sacks-H0572 your silver.H3701 hadH0935 I.H0413 And he brought outH3318 to themH0413 -H0853 Simeon.H8095

24: So broughtH0935 the manH0376 -H0853 the menH0376 into house,H1004 of JosephH3130 and gave [them]H5414 water,H4325 and they washedH7364 their feet-H7272 and he gaveH5414 feedH4554 unto their donkeys .H2543

25: And they made readyH3559 -H0853 the giftH4503 forH5704 arrivalH0935 Joseph’sH3130 at noon-H6672 forH3588 they heardH8085 thatH3588 thereH8033 they would eatH0398 bread.H3899

26: And when cameH0935 JosephH3130 home,H1004 then they broughtH0935 -H0853 the giftH4503 that [was]H0834 in their handH3027 into the house,H1004 and bowed downH7812 to the ground.H0776

27: And he askedH7592 if they were well,H7965 and said,H0559 [Is] wellH7965 your father,H0001 the old manH2205 of whomH0834 you spoke?H0559 [Is] he stillH5750 alive ?H2416

28: and they answered,H0559 in good health,H7965 your servantH5650 our father [is]H0001 he [is] still,H5750 alive .H2416 And they bowed down their heads,H6915 and prostrated themselves.H7812

29: And he liftedH5375 his eyes,H5869 and sawH7200 -H0853 BenjaminH1144 his brother,H0251 sonH1121 of his mother,H0517 and said,H0559 [Is] thisH2088 your brotherH0251 younger,H6996 of whomH0834 you spokeH0559 to me?H0413 and he said,H0559 GodH0430 be gracious to youH2603 my son!H1121

30: so made hasteH4116 Joseph,H3130 forH3588 yearnedH3648 his heartH7356 forH0413 his brother,H0251 and he soughtH1245 to weep-H1058 and he wentH0935 into [his] chamber,H2315 and weptH1058 there.H8033

31: And he washedH7364 his face,H6440 and came out,H3318 and he restrained himself,H0662 and said,H0559 ServeH7760 the bread.H3899

32: So they set a placeH7760 by himself,H0905 by themselves,H0905 and the Egyptians,H4713 eatingH0398 with himH0854 by themselves,H0905 becauseH3588 notH3808 couldH3201 the EgyptiansH4713 eatH0398 withH0853 the HebrewsH5680 food-H3899 forH3588 an abominationH8441 that [is]H1931 to Egypt.H4713

33: And they satH3427 before him,H6440 the firstbornH1060 according to his birthright,H1062 and the youngestH6810 according to his youth,H6812 and looked in astonishmentH8539 the menH0376 oneH0376 atH0413 another.H7453

34: And he tookH5375 portionsH4864 fromH0853 before himH6440 to them,H0413 but was as muchH7235 the portionH4864 of BenjaminH1144 asH4864 any of theirs,H3605 fiveH2568 times.H3027 So they drank,H8354 and were merryH7937 with him.H5973
