Genesis 43:1-20

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}
