1. And Jacob having seen that there was a sale of corn in Egypt, said to his sons, Why are ye indolent?
|
1. Now when Jacob H3290 saw H7200 that H3588 there was H3426 corn H7668 in Egypt H4714 , Jacob H3290 said H559 unto his sons H1121 , Why H4100 do ye look one upon another H7200 ?
|
|
2. Behold, I have heard that there is corn in Egypt; go down thither, and buy for us a little food, that we may live, and not die.
|
2. And he said H559 , Behold H2009 , I have heard H8085 that H3588 there is H3426 corn H7668 in Egypt H4714 : get you down H3381 thither H8033 , and buy H7666 for us from thence H4480 H8033 ; that we may live H2421 , and not H3808 die H4191 .
|

|

|
|
4. But Jacob sent not Benjamin, the brother of Joseph, with his brethren; for he said, Lest, haply, disease befall him.
|
4. But Benjamin H1144 , Joseph H3130 's brother H251 , Jacob H3290 sent H7971 not H3808 with H854 his brethren H251 ; for H3588 he said H559 , Lest peradventure H6435 mischief H611 befall H7122 him.
|
|
5. And the sons of Israel came to buy with those that came, for the famine was in the land of Chanaan.
|
5. And the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 came H935 to buy H7666 corn among H8432 those that came H935 : for H3588 the famine H7458 was H1961 in the land H776 of Canaan H3667 .
|
|
6. And Joseph was ruler of the land; he sold to all the people of the land. And the brethren of Joseph, having come, did reverence to him, bowing with the face to the ground.
|
6. And Joseph H3130 was the governor H7989 over H5921 the land H776 , and he H1931 it was that sold H7666 to all H3605 the people H5971 of the land H776 : and Joseph H3130 's brethren H251 came H935 , and bowed down themselves H7812 before him with their faces H639 to the earth H776 .
|
|
7. And when Joseph saw his brethren, he knew them, and estranged himself from them, and spoke hard words to them; and said to them, Whence are ye come? And they said, Out of the land of Chanaan, to buy food.
|
7. And Joseph H3130 saw H7200 H853 his brethren H251 , and he knew H5234 them , but made himself strange H5234 unto H413 them , and spoke H1696 roughly H7186 unto H854 them ; and he said H559 unto H413 them, Whence H4480 H370 come H935 ye? And they said H559 , From the land H4480 H776 of Canaan H3667 to buy H7666 food H400 .
|
|
8. And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him.
|
8. And Joseph H3130 knew H5234 H853 his brethren H251 , but they H1992 knew H5234 not H3808 him.
|
|
9. And Joseph remembered his dream, which he saw; and he said to them, Ye are spies; to observe the marks of the land are ye come.
|
9. And Joseph H3130 remembered H2142 H853 the dreams H2472 which H834 he dreamed H2492 of them , and said H559 unto H413 them, Ye H859 are spies H7270 ; to see H7200 H853 the nakedness H6172 of the land H776 ye are come H935 .
|
|
10. But they said, Nay, Sir, we thy servants are come to buy food;
|
10. And they said H559 unto H413 him, Nay H3808 , my lord H113 , but to buy H7666 food H400 are thy servants H5650 come H935 .
|
|
11. we are all sons of one man; we are peaceable, thy servants are not spies.
|
11. We H5168 are all H3605 one H259 man H376 's sons H1121 ; we H587 are true H3651 men , thy servants H5650 are H1961 no H3808 spies H7270 .
|
|
12. And he said to them, Nay, but ye are come to observe the marks of the land.
|
12. And he said H559 unto H413 them, Nay H3808 , but H3588 to see H7200 the nakedness H6172 of the land H776 ye are come H935 .
|
|
13. And they said, We thy servants are twelve brethren, in the land of Chanaan; and, behold, the youngest is with our father to-day, but the other one is not.
|
13. And they said H559 , Thy servants H5650 are twelve H8147 H6240 brethren H251 , the sons H1121 of one H259 man H376 in the land H776 of Canaan H3667 ; and, behold H2009 , the youngest H6996 is this day H3117 with H854 our father H1 , and one H259 is not H369 .
|
|
14. And Joseph said to them, This is it that I spoke to you, saying, ye are spies;
|
14. And Joseph H3130 said H559 unto H413 them, That H1931 is it that H834 I spoke H1696 unto H413 you, saying H559 , Ye H859 are spies H7270 :
|
|
15. herein shall ye be manifested; by the health of Pharao, ye shall not depart hence, unless your younger brother come hither.
|
15. Hereby H2063 ye shall be proved H974 : By the life H2416 of Pharaoh H6547 ye shall not go forth H3318 hence H4480 H2088 , except H3588 H518 your youngest H6996 brother H251 come H935 hither H2008 .
|
|
16. Send one of you, and take your brother; and go ye to prison, till your words be clear, whether ye speak the truth or not; but, if not, by the health of Pharao, verily ye are spies.
|
16. Send H7971 one H259 of H4480 you , and let him fetch H3947 H853 your brother H251 , and ye H859 shall be kept in prison H631 , that your words H1697 may be proved H974 , whether there be any truth H571 in H854 you : or else H518 H3808 by the life H2416 of Pharaoh H6547 surely H3588 ye H859 are spies H7270 .
|
|
17. And he put them in prison three days.
|
17. And he put them all together H622 H853 into H413 ward H4929 three H7969 days H3117 .
|
|
18. And he said to them on the third day, This do, and ye shall live, for I fear God.
|
18. And Joseph H3130 said H559 unto H413 them the third H7992 day H3117 , This H2063 do H6213 , and live H2421 ; for I H589 fear H3373 H853 God H430 :
|
|
19. If ye be peaceable, let one of your brethren be detained in prison; but go ye, and carry back the Gr. the purchase of your gift of corn corn ye have purchased.
|
19. If H518 ye H859 be true H3651 men , let one H259 of your brethren H251 be bound H631 in the house H1004 of your prison H4929 : go H1980 ye H859 , carry H935 corn H7668 for the famine H7459 of your houses H1004 :
|
|
20. And bring your younger brother to me, and your words shall be believed; but, if not, ye shall die. And they did so.
|
20. But bring H935 your youngest H6996 brother H251 unto H413 me ; so shall your words H1697 be verified H539 , and ye shall not H3808 die H4191 . And they did H6213 so H3651 .
|
|
21. And each said to his brother, Yes, indeed, for we are in fault concerning our brother, when we disregarded the anguish of his soul, when he besought us, and we hearkened not to him; and therefore has this affliction come upon us.
|
21. And they said H559 one H376 to H413 another H251 , We H587 are verily H61 guilty H818 concerning H5921 our brother H251 , in that H834 we saw H7200 the anguish H6869 of his soul H5315 , when he besought H2603 H413 us , and we would not H3808 hear H8085 ; therefore H5921 H3651 is this H2063 distress H6869 come H935 upon H413 us.
|
|
22. And Ruben answered them, saying, Did I not speak to you, saying, Hurt not the boy, and ye heard me not? and, behold, his blood is required.
|
22. And Reuben H7205 answered H6030 them, saying H559 , Spoke H559 I not H3808 unto H413 you, saying H559 , Do not H408 sin H2398 against the child H3206 ; and ye would not H3808 hear H8085 ? therefore, behold H2009 , also H1571 his blood H1818 is required H1875 .
|
|
23. But they knew not that Joseph Gr. heard them understood them; for there was an interpreter between them.
|
23. And they H1992 knew H3045 not H3808 that H3588 Joseph H3130 understood H8085 them ; for H3588 he spoke unto H996 them by an interpreter H3887 .
|
|
24. And Joseph turned away from them, and wept; and again he came to them, and spoke to them; and he took Symeon from them, and bound him before their eyes.
|
24. And he turned himself about H5437 from H4480 H5921 them , and wept H1058 ; and returned H7725 to H413 them again , and communed H1696 with H413 them , and took H3947 from H4480 H854 them H853 Simeon H8095 , and bound H631 him before their eyes H5869 .
|
|
25. And Joseph gave orders to fill their vessels with corn, and to return their money to each into his sack, and to give them provision for the way; and it was so done to them.
|
25. Then Joseph H3130 commanded H6680 to fill H4390 H853 their sacks H3627 with corn H1250 , and to restore H7725 every man H376 's money H3701 into H413 his sack H8242 , and to give H5414 them provision H6720 for the way H1870 : and thus H3651 did H6213 he unto them.
|
|
26. And having put the corn on the asses, they departed thence.
|
26. And they laded H5375 H5921 their asses H2543 with H853 the corn H7668 , and departed H1980 thence H4480 H8033 .
|
|
27. And one having opened his sack to give his asses fodder, at the place where they rested, saw also his bundle of money, for it was on the mouth of his sack.
|
27. And as one H259 of them opened H6605 H853 his sack H8242 to give H5414 his ass H2543 provender H4554 in the inn H4411 , he espied H7200 H853 his money H3701 ; for, behold H2009 , it H1931 was in his sack H572 's mouth H6310 .
|
|
28. And he said to his brethren, My money has been restored to me, and behold this is in my sack. And their heart was wonder-struck, and they were troubled, saying one to another, What is this that God has done to us?
|
28. And he said H559 unto H413 his brethren H251 , My money H3701 is restored H7725 ; and, lo H2009 , it is even H1571 in my sack H572 : and their heart H3820 failed H3318 them , and they were afraid H2729 , saying H559 one H376 to H413 another H251 , What H4100 is this H2063 that God H430 hath done H6213 unto us?
|
|
29. And they came to their father, Jacob, into the land of Chanaan, and reported to him all that had happened to them, saying,
|
29. And they came H935 unto H413 Jacob H3290 their father H1 unto the land H776 of Canaan H3667 , and told H5046 him H853 all H3605 that befell H7136 unto them; saying H559 ,
|
|
30. The man, the lord of the land, spoke harsh words to us, and put us in prison as spies of the land.
|
30. The man H376 , who is the lord H113 of the land H776 , spoke H1696 roughly H7186 to H854 us , and took H5414 us for spies H7270 of H853 the country H776 .
|
|
31. And we said to him, We are men of peace, we are not spies.
|
31. And we said H559 unto H413 him, We H587 are true H3651 men ; we are H1961 no H3808 spies H7270 :
|
|
32. We are twelve brethren, sons of our father; one is not, and the youngest is with his father to-day in the land of Chanaan.
|
32. We H587 be twelve H8147 H6240 brethren H251 , sons H1121 of our father H1 ; one H259 is not H369 , and the youngest H6996 is this day H3117 with H854 our father H1 in the land H776 of Canaan H3667 .
|
|
33. And the man, the lord of the land, said to us, Herein shall I know that ye are peaceable; leave one brother here with me, and having taken the corn ye have purchased for your family, depart.
|
33. And the man H376 , the lord H113 of the country H776 , said H559 unto H413 us, Hereby H2063 shall I know H3045 that H3588 ye H859 are true H3651 men ; leave H5117 one H259 of your brethren H251 here with H854 me , and take H3947 food for the famine H7459 of your households H1004 , and be gone H1980 :
|
|
34. And bring to me your younger brother; then I shall know that ye are not spies, but that ye are men of peace: and I will restore you your brother, and ye shall trade in the land.
|
34. And bring H935 H853 your youngest H6996 brother H251 unto H413 me : then shall I know H3045 that H3588 ye H859 are no H3808 spies H7270 , but H3588 that ye H859 are true H3651 men: so will I deliver H5414 you H853 your brother H251 , and ye shall traffic H5503 in the land H776 .
|
|
35. And it came to pass as they were emptying their sacks, there was each man’s bundle of money in his sack; and they and their father saw their bundles of money, and they were afraid.
|
35. And it came to pass H1961 as they H1992 emptied H7324 their sacks H8242 , that, behold H2009 , every man H376 's bundle H6872 of money H3701 was in his sack H8242 : and when both they H1992 and their father H1 saw H7200 H853 the bundles H6872 of money H3701 , they were afraid H3372 .
|
|
36. And their father Jacob said to them, Ye have bereaved me. Joseph is not, Symeon is not, and will ye take Benjamin? all these things have come upon me.
|
36. And Jacob H3290 their father H1 said H559 unto H413 them , Me have ye bereaved H7921 of my children : Joseph H3130 is not H369 , and Simeon H8095 is not H369 , and ye will take H3947 Benjamin H1144 away : all H3605 these things are H1961 against H5921 me.
|
|
37. And Ruben spoke to his father, saying, Slay my two sons, if I bring him not to thee; give him into my hand, and I will bring him back to thee.
|
37. And Reuben H7205 spoke H559 unto H413 his father H1 , saying H559 , Slay H4191 H853 my two H8147 sons H1121 , if H518 I bring H935 him not H3808 to H413 thee: deliver H5414 him into H5921 my hand H3027 , and I H589 will bring H7725 him to H413 thee again.
|
|
38. But he said, My son shall not go down with you, because his brother is dead, and he only has been left; and suppose it shall come to pass that he is afflicted by the way by which ye go, then ye shall bring down my old age with sorrow to Hades.
|
38. And he said H559 , My son H1121 shall not H3808 go down H3381 with H5973 you; for H3588 his brother H251 is dead H4191 , and he H1931 is left H7604 alone H905 : if mischief H611 befall H7122 him by the way H1870 in the which H834 ye go H1980 , then shall ye bring down H3381 H853 my gray hairs H7872 with sorrow H3015 to the grave H7585 .
