Genesis 42:1--44:34

42:1

Now when Jacob
<03290>

saw
<07200> (8799)

that there was
<03426>

corn
<07668>

in Egypt
<04714>_,

Jacob
<03290>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto his sons
<01121>_,

Why do ye look
<07200> (8691)

one upon another?

42:2

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold, I have heard
<08085> (8804)

that there is
<03426>

corn
<07668>

in Egypt
<04714>_:

get you down
<03381> (8798)

thither, and buy
<07666> (8798)

for us from thence; that we may live
<02421> (8799)_,

and not die
<04191> (8799)_.

42:3

And Joseph's
<03130>

ten
<06235>

brethren
<0251>

went down
<03381> (8799)

to buy
<07666> (8800)

corn
<01250>

in Egypt
<04714>_.

42:4

But Benjamin
<01144>_,

Joseph's
<03130>

brother
<0251>_,

Jacob
<03290>

sent
<07971> (8804)

not with his brethren
<0251>_;

for he said
<0559> (8804)_,

Lest peradventure
<06435>

mischief
<0611>

befall him
<07122> (8799)_.

42:5

And the sons
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

came
<0935> (8799)

to buy
<07666> (8800)

[corn] among
<08432>

those that came
<0935> (8802)_:

for the famine
<07458>

was in the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>_.

42:6

And Joseph
<03130>

[was] the governor
<07989>

over the land
<0776>_,

[and] he [it was] that sold
<07666> (8688)

to all the people
<05971>

of the land
<0776>_:

and Joseph's
<03130>

brethren
<0251>

came
<0935> (8799)_,

and bowed down
<07812> (8691)

themselves before him [with] their faces
<0639>

to the earth
<0776>_.

42:7

And Joseph
<03130>

saw
<07200> (8799)

his brethren
<0251>_,

and he knew
<05234> (8686)

them, but made himself strange
<05234> (8691)

unto them, and spake
<01696> (8762)

roughly
<07186>

unto them; and he said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Whence
<0370>

come
<0935> (8804)

ye? And they said
<0559> (8799)_,

From the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>

to buy
<07666> (8800)

food
<0400>_.

{roughly...: Heb. hard things with them}

42:8

And Joseph
<03130>

knew
<05234> (8686)

his brethren
<0251>_,

but they knew
<05234> (8689)

not him.

42:9

And Joseph
<03130>

remembered
<02142> (8799)

the dreams
<02472>

which he dreamed
<02492> (8804)

of them, and said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Ye [are] spies
<07270> (8764)_;

to see
<07200> (8800)

the nakedness
<06172>

of the land
<0776>

ye are come
<0935> (8804)_.

42:10

And they said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Nay, my lord
<0113>_,

but to buy
<07666> (8800)

food
<0400>

are thy servants
<05650>

come
<0935> (8804)_.

42:11

We
<05168>

[are] all one
<0259>

man's
<0376>

sons
<01121>_;

we [are] true
<03651>

[men], thy servants
<05650>

are no spies
<07270> (8764)_.

42:12

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Nay, but to see
<07200> (8800)

the nakedness
<06172>

of the land
<0776>

ye are come
<0935> (8804)_.

42:13

And they said
<0559> (8799)_,

Thy servants
<05650>

[are] twelve
<08147> <06240>

brethren
<0251>_,

the sons
<01121>

of one
<0259>

man
<0376>

in the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>_;

and, behold, the youngest
<06996>

[is] this day
<03117>

with our father
<01>_,

and one
<0259>

[is] not.

42:14

And Joseph
<03130>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, That [is it] that I spake
<01696> (8765)

unto you, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Ye [are] spies
<07270> (8764)_:

42:15

Hereby
<02063>

ye shall be proved
<0974> (8735)_:

By the life
<02416>

of Pharaoh
<06547>

ye shall not go forth
<03318> (8799)

hence, except your youngest
<06996>

brother
<0251>

come
<0935> (8800)

hither.

42:16

Send
<07971> (8798)

one
<0259>

of you, and let him fetch
<03947> (8799)

your brother
<0251>_,

and ye shall be kept in prison
<0631> (8734)_,

that your words
<01697>

may be proved
<0974> (8735)_,

whether [there be any] truth
<0571>

in
<0854>

you: or else
<03808>

by the life
<02416>

of Pharaoh
<06547>

surely ye [are] spies
<07270> (8764)_.

{kept...: Heb. bound}

42:17

And he put them all together
<0622> (8799)

into ward
<04929>

three
<07969>

days
<03117>_.

{put: Heb. gathered}

42:18

And Joseph
<03130>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto them the third
<07992>

day
<03117>_,

This do
<06213> (8798)_,

and live
<02421> (8798)_;

[for] I fear
<03373>

God
<0430>_:

42:19

If ye [be] true
<03651>

[men], let one
<0259>

of your brethren
<0251>

be bound
<0631> (8735)

in the house
<01004>

of your prison
<04929>_:

go
<03212> (8798)

ye, carry
<0935> (8685)

corn
<07668>

for the famine
<07459>

of your houses
<01004>_:

42:20

But bring
<0935> (8686)

your youngest
<06996>

brother
<0251>

unto me; so shall your words
<01697>

be verified
<0539> (8735)_,

and ye shall not die
<04191> (8799)_.

And they did
<06213> (8799)

so.

42:21

And they said
<0559> (8799)

one
<0376>

to another
<0251>_,

We [are] verily
<061>

guilty
<0818>

concerning our brother
<0251>_,

in that
<0834>

we saw
<07200> (8804)

the anguish
<06869>

of his soul
<05315>_,

when he besought
<02603> (8692)

us, and we would not hear
<08085> (8804)_;

therefore is this distress
<06869>

come
<0935> (8804)

upon us.

42:22

And Reuben
<07205>

answered
<06030> (8799)

them, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Spake I
<0559> (8804)

not unto you, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Do not sin
<02398> (8799)

against the child
<03206>_;

and ye would not hear
<08085> (8804)_?

therefore, behold, also his blood
<01818>

is required
<01875> (8738)_.

42:23

And they knew
<03045> (8804)

not that Joseph
<03130>

understood
<08085> (8802)

[them]; for he spake unto them by an interpreter
<03887> (8688)_.

{he spake...: Heb. an interpreter was between them}

42:24

And he turned himself about
<05437> (8735)

from them, and wept
<01058> (8799)_;

and returned to them again
<07725> (8799)_,

and communed
<01696> (8762)

with them, and took
<03947> (8799)

from them Simeon
<08095>_,

and bound
<0631> (8799)

him before their eyes
<05869>_.

42:25

Then Joseph
<03130>

commanded
<06680> (8762)

to fill
<04390> (8762)

their sacks
<03627>

with corn
<01250>_,

and to restore
<07725> (8687)

every man's
<0376>

money
<03701>

into his sack
<08242>_,

and to give
<05414> (8800)

them provision
<06720>

for the way
<01870>_:

and thus
<03651>

did he
<06213> (8799)

unto them.

42:26

And they laded
<05375> (8799)

their asses
<02543>

with the corn
<07668>_,

and departed
<03212> (8799)

thence.

42:27

And as one
<0259>

of them opened
<06605> (8799)

his sack
<08242>

to give
<05414> (8800)

his ass
<02543>

provender
<04554>

in the inn
<04411>_,

he espied
<07200> (8799)

his money
<03701>_;

for, behold, it [was] in his sack's
<0572>

mouth
<06310>_.

42:28

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto his brethren
<0251>_,

My money
<03701>

is restored
<07725> (8717)_;

and, lo
<02009>_,

[it is] even in my sack
<0572>_:

and their heart
<03820>

failed
<03318> (8799)

[them], and they were afraid
<02729> (8799)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)

one
<0376>

to another
<0251>_,

What [is] this [that] God
<0430>

hath done
<06213> (8804)

unto us? {failed...: Heb. went forth}

42:29

And they came
<0935> (8799)

unto Jacob
<03290>

their father
<01>

unto the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>_,

and told
<05046> (8686)

him all that befell
<07136> (8802)

unto them; saying
<0559> (8800)_,

42:30

The man
<0376>_,

[who is] the lord
<0113>

of the land
<0776>_,

spake
<01696> (8765)

roughly
<07186>

to us, and took
<05414> (8799)

us for spies
<07270> (8764)

of the country
<0776>_.

{roughly...: Heb. with us hard things}

42:31

And we said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, We [are] true
<03651>

[men]; we are no spies
<07270> (8764)_:

42:32

We [be] twelve
<06240> <08147>

brethren
<0251>_,

sons
<01121>

of our father
<01>_;

one
<0259>

[is] not, and the youngest
<06996>

[is] this day
<03117>

with our father
<01>

in the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>_.

42:33

And the man
<0376>_,

the lord
<0113>

of the country
<0776>_,

said
<0559> (8799)

unto us, Hereby shall I know
<03045> (8799)

that ye [are] true
<03651>

[men]; leave
<03240> (8685)

one
<0259>

of your brethren
<0251>

[here] with me, and take
<03947> (8798)

[food for] the famine
<07459>

of your households
<01004>_,

and be gone
<03212> (8798)_:

42:34

And bring
<0935> (8685)

your youngest
<06996>

brother
<0251>

unto me: then shall I know
<03045> (8799)

that ye [are] no spies
<07270> (8764)_,

but [that] ye [are] true
<03651>

[men: so] will I deliver
<05414> (8799)

you your brother
<0251>_,

and ye shall traffick
<05503> (8799)

in the land
<0776>_.

42:35

And it came to pass as they emptied
<07324> (8688)

their sacks
<08242>_,

that, behold, every man's
<0376>

bundle
<06872>

of money
<03701>

[was] in his sack
<08242>_:

and when [both] they and their father
<01>

saw
<07200> (8799)

the bundles
<06872>

of money
<03701>_,

they were afraid
<03372> (8799)_.

42:36

And Jacob
<03290>

their father
<01>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Me have ye bereaved
<07921> (8765)

[of my children]: Joseph
<03130>

[is] not, and Simeon
<08095>

[is] not, and ye will take
<03947> (8799)

Benjamin
<01144>

[away]: all these things are against me.

42:37

And Reuben
<07205>

spake
<0559> (8799)

unto his father
<01>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Slay
<04191> (8686)

my two
<08147>

sons
<01121>_,

if I bring
<0935> (8686)

him not to thee: deliver
<05414> (8798)

him into my hand
<03027>_,

and I will bring him to thee again
<07725> (8686)_.

42:38

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

My son
<01121>

shall not go down
<03381> (8799)

with you; for his brother
<0251>

is dead
<04191> (8804)_,

and he is left
<07604> (8738)

alone: if mischief
<0611>

befall
<07122> (8804)

him by the way
<01870>

in the which ye go
<03212> (8799)_,

then shall ye bring down
<03381> (8689)

my gray hairs
<07872>

with sorrow
<03015>

to the grave
<07585>_.

43:1

And the famine
<07458>

[was] sore
<03515>

in the land
<0776>_.

43:2

And it came to pass, when they had eaten up
<03615> (8765) <0398> (8800)

the corn
<07668>

which they had brought out
<0935> (8689)

of Egypt
<04714>_,

their father
<01>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Go again
<07725> (8798)_,

buy
<07666> (8798)

us a little
<04592>

food
<0400>_.

43:3

And Judah
<03063>

spake
<0559> (8799)

unto him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

The man
<0376>

did solemnly
<05749> (8687)

protest
<05749> (8689)

unto us, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Ye shall not see
<07200> (8799)

my face
<06440>_,

except
<01115>

your brother
<0251>

[be] with you. {did...: Heb. protesting protested}

43:4

If thou wilt
<03426>

send
<07971> (8764)

our brother
<0251>

with us, we will go down
<03381> (8799)

and buy
<07666> (8799)

thee food
<0400>_:

43:5

But if thou wilt not send
<07971> (8764)

[him], we will not go down
<03381> (8799)_:

for the man
<0376>

said
<0559> (8804)

unto us, Ye shall not see
<07200> (8799)

my face
<06440>_,

except your brother
<0251>

[be] with you.

43:6

And Israel
<03478>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Wherefore dealt ye [so] ill
<07489> (8689)

with me, [as] to tell
<05046> (8687)

the man
<0376>

whether ye had yet a brother
<0251>_?

43:7

And they said
<0559> (8799)_,

The man
<0376>

asked
<07592> (8804)

us straitly
<07592> (8800)

of our state, and of our kindred
<04138>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

[Is] your father
<01>

yet alive
<02416>_?

have ye
<03426>

[another] brother
<0251>_?

and we told
<05046> (8686)

him according
<05921>

to the tenor
<06310>

of these words
<01697>_:

could we certainly
<03045> (8800)

know
<03045> (8799)

that he would say
<0559> (8799)_,

Bring
<03381> (0)

your brother
<0251>

down
<03381> (8685)_?

{asked...: Heb. asking asked us} {tenor: Heb. mouth} {could...: Heb. knowing could we know}

43:8

And Judah
<03063>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Israel
<03478>

his father
<01>_,

Send
<07971> (8798)

the lad
<05288>

with me, and we will arise
<06965> (8799)

and go
<03212> (8799)_;

that we may live
<02421> (8799)_,

and not die
<04191> (8799)_,

both we, and thou, [and] also our little ones
<02945>_.

43:9

I will be surety
<06148> (8799)

for him; of my hand
<03027>

shalt thou require
<01245> (8762)

him: if
<0518> (0)

I bring
<0935> (8689)

him not
<0518>

unto thee, and set
<03322> (8689)

him before thee
<06440>_,

then let me bear the blame
<02398> (8804)

for ever
<03117>_:

43:10

For except
<03884>

we had lingered
<04102> (8701)_,

surely now we had returned
<07725> (8804)

this second time
<06471>_.

{this: or, twice by this}

43:11

And their father
<01>

Israel
<03478>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, If [it must be] so now
<0645>_,

do
<06213> (8798)

this; take
<03947> (8798)

of the best fruits
<02173>

in the land
<0776>

in your vessels
<03627>_,

and carry down
<03381> (8685)

the man
<0376>

a present
<04503>_,

a little
<04592>

balm
<06875>_,

and a little
<04592>

honey
<01706>_,

spices
<05219>_,

and myrrh
<03910>_,

nuts
<0992>_,

and almonds
<08247>_:

43:12

And take
<03947> (8798)

double
<04932>

money
<03701>

in your hand
<03027>_;

and the money
<03701>

that was brought again
<07725> (8716)

in the mouth
<06310>

of your sacks
<0572>_,

carry [it] again
<07725> (8686)

in your hand
<03027>_;

peradventure it [was] an oversight
<04870>_:

43:13

Take
<03947> (8798)

also your brother
<0251>_,

and arise
<06965> (8798)_,

go again
<07725> (8798)

unto the man
<0376>_:

43:14

And God
<0410>

Almighty
<07706>

give
<05414> (8799)

you mercy
<07356>

before
<06440>

the man
<0376>_,

that he may send away
<07971> (8765)

your other
<0312>

brother
<0251>_,

and Benjamin
<01144>_.

If
<0834>

I be bereaved
<07921> (8804)

[of my children], I am bereaved
<07921> (8804)_.

{If...: or, And I, as I have been, etc.}

43:15

And the men
<0582>

took
<03947> (8799)

that
<02063>

present
<04503>_,

and they took
<03947> (8804)

double
<04932>

money
<03701>

in their hand
<03027>_,

and Benjamin
<01144>_;

and rose up
<06965> (8799)_,

and went down
<03381> (8799)

to Egypt
<04714>_,

and stood
<05975> (8799)

before
<06440>

Joseph
<03130>_.

43:16

And when Joseph
<03130>

saw
<07200> (8799)

Benjamin
<01144>

with
<0854>

them, he said
<0559> (8799)

to the ruler of his house
<01004>_,

Bring
<0935> (8685)

[these] men
<0582>

home
<01004>_,

and slay
<02873> (8800) <02874>_,

and make ready
<03559> (8685)_;

for [these] men
<0582>

shall dine
<0398> (8799)

with me at noon
<06672>_.

{slay: Heb. kill a killing} {dine: Heb. eat}

43:17

And the man
<0376>

did
<06213> (8799)

as Joseph
<03130>

bade
<0559> (8804)_;

and the man
<0376>

brought
<0935> (8686)

the men
<0582>

into Joseph's
<03130>

house
<01004>_.

43:18

And the men
<0582>

were afraid
<03372> (8799)_,

because they were brought
<0935> (8717)

into Joseph's
<03130>

house
<01004>_;

and they said
<0559> (8799)_,

Because
<01697>

of the money
<03701>

that was returned
<07725> (8802)

in our sacks
<0572>

at the first time
<08462>

are we brought in
<0935> (8716)_;

that he may seek occasion
<01556> (8705)

against us, and fall
<05307> (8692)

upon us, and take
<03947> (8800)

us for bondmen
<05650>_,

and our asses
<02543>_.

{seek...: Heb. roll himself upon us}

43:19

And they came near
<05066> (8799)

to the steward
<0376>

of Joseph's
<03130>

house
<01004>_,

and they communed
<01696> (8762)

with him at the door
<06607>

of the house
<01004>_,

43:20

And said
<0559> (8799)_,

O
<0994>

sir
<0113>_,

we came indeed
<03381> (8800)

down
<03381> (8804)

at the first time
<08462>

to buy
<07666> (8800)

food
<0400>_:

{we...: Heb. coming down we came down}

43:21

And it came to pass, when we came
<0935> (8804)

to the inn
<04411>_,

that we opened
<06605> (8799)

our sacks
<0572>_,

and, behold, [every] man's
<0376>

money
<03701>

[was] in the mouth
<06310>

of his sack
<0572>_,

our money
<03701>

in full weight
<04948>_:

and we have brought it again
<07725> (8686)

in our hand
<03027>_.

43:22

And other
<0312>

money
<03701>

have we brought down
<03381> (8689)

in our hands
<03027>

to buy
<07666> (8800)

food
<0400>_:

we cannot tell
<03045> (8804)

who put
<07760> (8804)

our money
<03701>

in our sacks
<0572>_.

43:23

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Peace
<07965>

[be] to you, fear
<03372> (8799)

not: your God
<0430>_,

and the God
<0430>

of your father
<01>_,

hath given
<05414> (8804)

you treasure
<04301>

in your sacks
<0572>_:

I had
<0935> (8804)

your money
<03701>_.

And he brought
<03318> (8686)

Simeon
<08095>

out unto them. {I had...: Heb. your money came to me}

43:24

And the man
<0376>

brought
<0935> (8686)

the men
<0582>

into Joseph's
<03130>

house
<01004>_,

and gave
<05414> (8799)

[them] water
<04325>_,

and they washed
<07364> (8799)

their feet
<07272>_;

and he gave
<05414> (8799)

their asses
<02543>

provender
<04554>_.

43:25

And they made ready
<03559> (8686)

the present
<04503>

against
<05704>

Joseph
<03130>

came
<0935> (8800)

at noon
<06672>_:

for they heard
<08085> (8804)

that they should eat
<0398> (8799)

bread
<03899>

there.

43:26

And when Joseph
<03130>

came
<0935> (8799)

home
<01004>_,

they brought
<0935> (8686)

him the present
<04503>

which [was] in their hand
<03027>

into the house
<01004>_,

and bowed
<07812> (8691)

themselves to him to the earth
<0776>_.

43:27

And he asked
<07592> (8799)

them of [their] welfare
<07965>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

[Is] your father
<01>

well
<07965>_,

the old man
<02205>

of whom ye spake
<0559> (8804)_?

[Is] he yet alive
<02416>_?

{welfare: Heb. peace} {Is your...: Heb. Is there peace to your father?}

43:28

And they answered
<0559> (8799)_,

Thy servant
<05650>

our father
<01>

[is] in good health
<07965>_,

he [is] yet alive
<02416>_.

And they bowed down their heads
<06915> (8799)_,

and made obeisance
<07812> (8691)_.

43:29

And he lifted up
<05375> (8799)

his eyes
<05869>_,

and saw
<07200> (8799)

his brother
<0251>

Benjamin
<01144>_,

his mother's
<0517>

son
<01121>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

[Is] this your younger
<06996>

brother
<0251>_,

of whom ye spake
<0559> (8804)

unto me? And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

God
<0430>

be gracious
<02603> (8799)

unto thee, my son
<01121>_.

43:30

And Joseph
<03130>

made haste
<04116> (8762)_;

for his bowels
<07356>

did yearn
<03648> (8738)

upon his brother
<0251>_:

and he sought
<01245> (8762)

[where] to weep
<01058> (8800)_;

and he entered
<0935> (8799)

into [his] chamber
<02315>_,

and wept
<01058> (8799)

there.

43:31

And he washed
<07364> (8799)

his face
<06440>_,

and went out
<03318> (8799)_,

and refrained
<0662> (8691)

himself, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Set on
<07760> (8798)

bread
<03899>_.

43:32

And they set on
<07760> (8799)

for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians
<04713>_,

which did eat
<0398> (8802)

with him, by themselves: because the Egyptians
<04713>

might
<03201> (8799)

not eat
<0398> (8800)

bread
<03899>

with the Hebrews
<05680>_;

for that [is] an abomination
<08441>

unto the Egyptians
<04714>_.

43:33

And they sat
<03427> (8799)

before him
<06440>_,

the firstborn
<01060>

according to his birthright
<01062>_,

and the youngest
<06810>

according to his youth
<06812>_:

and the men
<0582>

marvelled
<08539> (8799)

one
<0376>

at another
<07453>_.

43:34

And he took
<05375> (8799)

[and sent] messes
<04864>

unto them from before him
<06440>_:

but Benjamin's
<01144>

mess
<04864>

was five
<02568>

times
<03027>

so much as
<07235> (8799)

any of theirs. And they drank
<08354> (8799)_,

and were merry
<07937> (8799)

with him. {were...: Heb. drank largely}

44:1

And he commanded
<06680> (8762)

the steward of his house
<01004>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Fill
<04390> (8761)

the men's
<0582>

sacks
<0572>

[with] food
<0400>_,

as much as
<0834>

they can
<03201> (8799)

carry
<05375> (8800)_,

and put
<07760> (8798)

every man's
<0376>

money
<03701>

in his sack's
<0572>

mouth
<06310>_.

{the steward...: Heb. him that was over his house}

44:2

And put
<07760> (8799)

my cup
<01375>_,

the silver
<03701>

cup
<01375>_,

in the sack's
<0572>

mouth
<06310>

of the youngest
<06996>_,

and his corn
<07668>

money
<03701>_.

And he did
<06213> (8799)

according to the word
<01697>

that Joseph
<03130>

had spoken
<01696> (8765)_.

44:3

As soon as the morning
<01242>

was light
<0215> (8804)_,

the men
<0582>

were sent away
<07971> (8795)_,

they and their asses
<02543>_.

44:4

[And] when they were gone out
<03318> (8804)

of the city
<05892>_,

[and] not [yet] far off
<07368> (8689)_,

Joseph
<03130>

said
<0559> (8804)

unto his steward
<01004>_,

Up
<06965> (8798)_,

follow
<07291> (8798)

after
<0310>

the men
<0582>_;

and when thou dost overtake
<05381> (8689)

them, say
<0559> (8804)

unto them, Wherefore have ye rewarded
<07999> (8765)

evil
<07451>

for good
<02896>_?

44:5

[Is] not this [it] in which my lord
<0113>

drinketh
<08354> (8799)_,

and whereby indeed
<05172> (8763)

he divineth
<05172> (8762)_?

ye have done evil
<07489> (8689)

in so doing
<06213> (8804)_.

{divineth: or, maketh trial?}

44:6

And he overtook
<05381> (8686)

them, and he spake
<01696> (8762)

unto them these same
<0428>

words
<01697>_.

44:7

And they said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Wherefore saith
<01696> (8762)

my lord
<0113>

these words
<01697>_?

God forbid
<02486>

that thy servants
<05650>

should do
<06213> (8800)

according to this thing
<01697>_:

44:8

Behold, the money
<03701>_,

which we found
<04672> (8804)

in our sacks
<0572>_'

mouths
<06310>_,

we brought again
<07725> (8689)

unto thee out of the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>_:

how then should we steal
<01589> (8799)

out of thy lord's
<0113>

house
<01004>

silver
<03701>

or gold
<02091>_?

44:9

With whomsoever of thy servants
<05650>

it be found
<04672> (8735)_,

both let him die
<04191> (8804)_,

and we also will be my lord's
<0113>

bondmen
<05650>_.

44:10

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Now also [let] it [be] according unto your words
<01697>_:

<03651>

he with whom it is found
<04672> (8735)

shall be my servant
<05650>_;

and ye shall be blameless
<05355>_.

44:11

Then they speedily
<04116> (8762)

took down
<03381> (8686)

every man
<0376>

his sack
<0572>

to the ground
<0776>_,

and opened
<06605> (8799)

every man
<0376>

his sack
<0572>_.

44:12

And he searched
<02664> (8762)_,

[and] began
<02490> (8689)

at the eldest
<01419>_,

and left
<03615> (8765)

at the youngest
<06996>_:

and the cup
<01375>

was found
<04672> (8735)

in Benjamin's
<01144>

sack
<0572>_.

44:13

Then they rent
<07167> (8799)

their clothes
<08071>_,

and laded
<06006> (8799)

every man
<0376>

his ass
<02543>_,

and returned
<07725> (8799)

to the city
<05892>_.

44:14

And Judah
<03063>

and his brethren
<0251>

came
<0935> (8799)

to Joseph's
<03130>

house
<01004>_;

for he [was] yet there: and they fell
<05307> (8799)

before him
<06440>

on the ground
<0776>_.

44:15

And Joseph
<03130>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, What deed
<04639>

[is] this that ye have done
<06213> (8804)_?

wot ye
<03045> (8804)

not that such a man
<0376>

as I can certainly
<05172> (8763)

divine
<05172> (8762)_?

{divine: or, make trial?}

44:16

And Judah
<03063>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

What shall we say
<0559> (8799)

unto my lord
<0113>_?

what shall we speak
<01696> (8762)_?

or how shall we clear ourselves
<06663> (8691)_?

God
<0430>

hath found out
<04672> (8804)

the iniquity
<05771>

of thy servants
<05650>_:

behold, we [are] my lord's
<0113>

servants
<05650>_,

both we, and [he] also
<01571>

with whom
<0834> <03027>

the cup
<01375>

is found
<04672> (8738)_.

44:17

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

God forbid
<02486>

that I should do
<06213> (8800)

so
<02063>_:

[but] the man
<0376>

in whose hand
<03027>

the cup
<01375>

is found
<04672> (8738)_,

he shall be my servant
<05650>_;

and as for you, get you up
<05927> (8798)

in peace
<07965>

unto your father
<01>_.

44:18

Then Judah
<03063>

came near
<05066> (8799)

unto him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Oh
<0994>

my lord
<0113>_,

let thy servant
<05650>_,

I pray thee, speak
<01696> (8762)

a word
<01697>

in my lord's
<0113>

ears
<0241>_,

and let not thine anger
<0639>

burn
<02734> (8799)

against thy servant
<05650>_:

for thou [art] even as Pharaoh
<06547>_.

44:19

My lord
<0113>

asked
<07592> (8804)

his servants
<05650>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Have
<03426>

ye a father
<01>_,

or a brother
<0251>_?

44:20

And we said
<0559> (8799)

unto my lord
<0113>_,

We have
<03426>

a father
<01>_,

an old man
<02205>_,

and a child
<03206>

of his old age
<02208>_,

a little one
<06996>_;

and his brother
<0251>

is dead
<04191> (8804)_,

and he alone is left
<03498> (8735)

of his mother
<0517>_,

and his father
<01>

loveth
<0157> (8804)

him.

44:21

And thou saidst
<0559> (8799)

unto thy servants
<05650>_,

Bring him down
<03381> (8685)

unto me, that I may set
<07760> (8799)

mine eyes
<05869>

upon him.

44:22

And we said
<0559> (8799)

unto my lord
<0113>_,

The lad
<05288>

cannot
<03201> (8799)

leave
<05800> (8800)

his father
<01>_:

for [if] he should leave
<05800> (8804)

his father
<01>_,

[his father] would die
<04191> (8804)_.

44:23

And thou saidst
<0559> (8799)

unto thy servants
<05650>_,

Except
<03808>

your youngest
<06996>

brother
<0251>

come down
<03381> (8799)

with you, ye shall see
<07200> (0) <03254> (0)

my face
<06440>

no more
<07200> (8800) <03254> (8686)_.

44:24

And it came to pass when we came up
<05927> (8804)

unto thy servant
<05650>

my father
<01>_,

we told
<05046> (8686)

him the words
<01697>

of my lord
<0113>_.

44:25

And our father
<01>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Go again
<07725> (8798)_,

[and] buy
<07666> (8798)

us a little
<04592>

food
<0400>_.

44:26

And we said
<0559> (8799)_,

We cannot
<03201> (8799)

go down
<03381> (8800)_:

if our youngest
<06996>

brother
<0251>

be
<03426>

with us, then will we go down
<03381> (8804)_:

for we may
<03201> (8799)

not see
<07200> (8800)

the man's
<0376>

face
<06440>_,

except
<0369>

our youngest
<06996>

brother
<0251>

[be] with us.

44:27

And thy servant
<05650>

my father
<01>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto us, Ye know
<03045> (8804)

that my wife
<0802>

bare
<03205> (8804)

me two
<08147>

[sons]:

44:28

And the one
<0259>

went out
<03318> (8799)

from me, and I said
<0559> (8799)_,

Surely
<02963> (8800)

he is torn in pieces
<02963> (8776)_;

and I saw him
<07200> (8804)

not since
<02008>_:

44:29

And if ye take
<03947> (8804)

this also from
<05973>

me
<06440>_,

and mischief
<0611>

befall him
<07136> (8804)_,

ye shall bring down
<03381> (8689)

my gray hairs
<07872>

with sorrow
<07451>

to the grave
<07585>_.

44:30

Now therefore when I come
<0935> (8800)

to thy servant
<05650>

my father
<01>_,

and the lad
<05288>

[be] not with us; seeing that his life
<05315>

is bound up
<07194> (8803)

in the lad's life
<05315>_;

44:31

It shall come to pass, when he seeth
<07200> (8800)

that the lad
<05288>

[is] not [with us], that he will die
<04191> (8804)_:

and thy servants
<05650>

shall bring down
<03381> (8689)

the gray hairs
<07872>

of thy servant
<05650>

our father
<01>

with sorrow
<03015>

to the grave
<07585>_.

44:32

For thy servant
<05650>

became surety
<06148> (8804)

for the lad
<05288>

unto
<05973>

my father
<01>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

If I bring
<0935> (8686)

him not unto thee, then I shall bear the blame
<02398> (8804)

to my father
<01>

for ever
<03117>_.

44:33

Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant
<05650>

abide
<03427> (8799)

instead of the lad
<05288>

a bondman
<05650>

to my lord
<0113>_;

and let the lad
<05288>

go up
<05927> (8799)

with his brethren
<0251>_.

44:34

For how
<0349>

shall I go up
<05927> (8799)

to my father
<01>_,

and the lad
<05288>

[be] not with me? lest peradventure I see
<07200> (8799)

the evil
<07451>

that shall come on
<04672> (8799)

my father
<01>_.

{come...: Heb. find my father}

<0376>_,

that being often reproved
<08433>

hardeneth

[his] neck
<06203>_,

shall suddenly
<06621>

be destroyed

Proverbs 5:2-3

5:2

That thou mayest regard
<08104> (8800)

discretion
<04209>_,

and [that] thy lips
<08193>

may keep
<05341> (8799)

knowledge
<01847>_.

5:3

For the lips
<08193>

of a strange woman
<02114> (8801)

drop
<05197> (8799)

[as] an honeycomb
<05317>_,

and her mouth
<02441>

[is] smoother
<02509>

than oil
<08081>_:

3:3

Remember
<3421> (5720)

therefore
<3767>

how
<4459>

thou hast received
<2983> (5758)

and
<2532>

heard

hold fast

If
<3362> (0)

therefore
<3767>

thou shalt
<1127> (0)

not
<3362>

watch
<1127> (5661)_,

I will come
<2240> (5692)

on
<1909>

thee
<4571>

as
<5613>

a thief
<2812>_,

and

thou shalt
<1097> (0)

not

know
<1097> (5632)

what
<4169>

hour
<5610>

I will come

upon

thee
