Genesis 43:16-34

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}
