43:1
And
the famine
was
sore
in
the land
.
43:2
And it came to pass, when they had eaten up the
corn
which they had brought out of
Egypt
, their
father
said unto them,
Go again
, buy us a
little food
.
43:3
And Judah spake unto him, saying,
The man did solemnly protest unto us
, saying,
Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you.
43:4
If
thou wilt
send our
brother
with us, we will
go down
and buy thee food: 43:5 But
if thou wilt not send him, we will not go down
: for the man said unto us,
Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you.
43:6
And
Israel
said,
Wherefore dealt ye so ill with me
, as to tell
the man
whether ye had
yet
a brother?
43:7
And they said, The man asked us
straitly
of our
state
, and of our
kindred
, saying,
Is your father yet alive?
have ye another brother?
and we told him according to the
tenor
of these words: could we certainly know that he would say,
Bring your brother down
?
43:8
And
Judah
said unto Israel his father,
Send the lad with me
, and we will arise and go;
that we may live, and not die
, both we, and thou, and also our
little ones
.
43:9
I will be
surety
for him;
of my hand shalt thou require
him: if I bring him not
unto
thee, and set him before thee, then let me bear the
blame
for ever
:
43:10
For except we had
linger
ed, surely now we had returned this
second time
.
43:11
And
their father Israel
said unto them, If it must be so now,
do this
; take of
the best fruits in the land
in your vessels, and carry down the man
a present
,
a little balm
, and
a little honey
,
spices
, and
myrrh
,
nuts
, and
almonds
:
43:12
And take
double money
in
your hand
; and the
money
that was brought again
in the mouth
of your sacks, carry it again in your hand;
peradventure
it was an
oversight
:
43:13
Take also your brother
, and
arise, go again unto the man
:
43:14
And
God Almighty
give you
mercy
before
the man
, that he may
send away
your
other brother
, and
Benjamin
.
If I be bereaved of my children, I am bereaved.
43:15
And
the men
took that
present
, and they took double money in their hand and Benjamin; and rose up, and went
down to Egypt
, and stood before
Joseph
.
43:16
And when Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to
the ruler of his house
,
Bring these men home
, and
slay
, and
make ready
; for these men shall
dine with me at noon
.
43:17
And
the man
did as Joseph bade; and
the man brought the men
into Joseph's house.
43:18
And
the men were afraid
, because they were brought into
Joseph's house
; and they said, Because of
the money that was returned
in our sacks at
the first time
are we brought in; that he may seek occasion against us, and
fall upon
us, and
take us for bondmen, and our asses
.
43:19
And they came near to the
steward
of Joseph's house, and they
commune
d with him
at the door
of the house,
43:20
And said,
O sir
, we came indeed down at the first time to
buy food
:
43:21
And it came to pass, when we came to the inn, that we opened our sacks, and, behold,
every man's money
was
in the mouth of his sack
, our money
in full weight
: and we have brought it again in our hand.
43:22
And other money have we brought down in our hands to buy food:
we cannot tell who put our money in our sacks.
43:23
And he said,
Peace be to you
,
fear not
: your
God
, and
the God of your father
, hath given you
treasure
in your sacks:
I had your money
. And he brought
Simeon
out unto them.
43:24
And
the man brought the men
into Joseph's house, and
gave them water
, and they
washed their feet
; and he
gave their asses provender
.
43:25
And they made ready
the present
against Joseph came at
noon
: for they heard that
they should eat bread
there.
43:26
And when Joseph
came home
, they brought him
the present which was in their hand
into the house, and
bowed themselves to him to the earth
.
43:27
And he asked them of their
welfare
, and said,
Is your father well, the old man of whom ye spake?
Is he yet alive?
43:28
And they answered,
Thy servant
our father
is
in good health
,
he is yet alive
. And they bowed down their heads, and made
obeisance
.
43:29
And he
lifted up his eyes
, and saw his brother
Benjamin
,
his mother's son
, and said,
Is this your younger brother
, of whom ye spake unto me? And he said,
God be gracious unto thee, my son.
43:30
And Joseph made haste; for
his bowels did yearn upon his brother
: and he sought
where to weep
; and he entered into his
chamber
, and wept there.
43:31
And he
washed his face
, and went out, and
refrained himself
, and said,
Set on bread
.
43:32
And they
set on
for him
by himself
, and for them
by themselves
, and for the
Egyptian
s, which did eat with him, by themselves: because
the Egyptians might not eat bread with the Hebrews
; for that is
an abomination
unto the Egyptians.
43:33
And they sat before him, the
firstborn
according to his
birthright
, and
the youngest according to his youth
: and
the men marvelled one at another
.
43:34
And he took and sent
messes
unto them from before him: but
Benjamin's mess
was
five times
so much as any of theirs. And
they drank, and were merry with him
.
