Genesis 44:14-34

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}
