Genesis 42:1 Now when Jacob3290 saw7200 that there was3426 corn7668 in Egypt,4714 Jacob3290 said559 unto his sons,1121 Why do ye look7200 one upon another? cr 2 And he said,559 Behold, I have heard8085 that there is3426 corn7668 in Egypt:4714 get you down3381 thither, and buy7666 for us from thence; that we may live,2421 and not die.4191 cr

Genesis 42:3 And Joseph's3130 ten6235 brethren251 went down3381 to buy7666 corn1250 in Egypt.4714 cr 4 But Benjamin,1144 Joseph's3130 brother,251 Jacob3290 sent7971 not with his brethren;251 for he said,559 Lest peradventure6435 mischief611 befall him.7122 cr 5 And the sons1121 of Israel3478 came935 to buy7666 corn among8432 those that came:935 for the famine7458 was in the land776 of Canaan.3667 cr 6 And Joseph3130 was the governor7989 over the land,776 and he it was that sold7666 to all the people5971 of the land:776 and Joseph's3130 brethren251 came,935 and bowed down7812 themselves before him with their faces639 to the earth.776 cr 7 And Joseph3130 saw7200 his brethren,251 and he knew5234 them, but made himself strange5234 unto them, and spake1696 roughly7186 unto them;{Heb. hard things with them} and he said559 unto them, Whence370 come935 ye? And they said,559 From the land776 of Canaan3667 to buy7666 food.400 cr 8 And Joseph3130 knew5234 his brethren,251 but they knew5234 not him. cr 9 And Joseph3130 remembered2142 the dreams2472 which he dreamed2492 of them, and said559 unto them, Ye are spies;7270 to see7200 the nakedness6172 of the land776 ye are come.935 cr 10 And they said559 unto him, Nay, my lord,113 but to buy7666 food400 are thy servants5650 come.935 cr 11 We5168 are all one259 man's376 sons;1121 we are true3651 men, thy servants5650 are no spies.7270 cr 12 And he said559 unto them, Nay, but to see7200 the nakedness6172 of the land776 ye are come.935 cr 13 And they said,559 Thy servants5650 are twelve8147 6240 brethren,251 the sons1121 of one259 man376 in the land776 of Canaan;3667 and, behold, the youngest6996 is this day3117 with our father,1 and one259 is not. cr 14 And Joseph3130 said559 unto them, That is it that I spake1696 unto you, saying,559 Ye are spies:7270 cr 15 Hereby2063 ye shall be proved:974 By the life2416 of Pharaoh6547 ye shall not go forth3318 hence, except your youngest6996 brother251 come935 hither. cr 16 Send7971 one259 of you, and let him fetch3947 your brother,251 and ye shall be kept{Heb. bound} in prison,631 that your words1697 may be proved,974 whether there be any truth571 in854 you: or else3808 by the life2416 of Pharaoh6547 surely ye are spies.7270 cr 17 And he put them all together622{Heb. gathered} into ward4929 three7969 days.3117 cr 18 And Joseph3130 said559 unto them the third7992 day,3117 This do,6213 and live;2421 for I fear3373 God:430 cr 19 If ye be true3651 men, let one259 of your brethren251 be bound631 in the house1004 of your prison:4929 go3212 ye, carry935 corn7668 for the famine7459 of your houses:1004 cr 20 But bring935 your youngest6996 brother251 unto me; so shall your words1697 be verified,539 and ye shall not die.4191 And they did6213 so. cr

Genesis 42:21 And they said559 one376 to another,251 We are verily61 guilty818 concerning our brother,251 in that834 we saw7200 the anguish6869 of his soul,5315 when he besought2603 us, and we would not hear;8085 therefore is this distress6869 come935 upon us. cr 22 And Reuben7205 answered6030 them, saying,559 Spake I559 not unto you, saying,559 Do not sin2398 against the child;3206 and ye would not hear?8085 therefore, behold, also his blood1818 is required.1875 cr 23 And they knew3045 not that Joseph3130 understood8085 them; for he spake unto them by an interpreter.3887{Heb. an interpreter was between them} cr 24 And he turned himself about5437 from them, and wept;1058 and returned to them again,7725 and communed1696 with them, and took3947 from them Simeon,8095 and bound631 him before their eyes.5869 cr

Genesis 42:25 Then Joseph3130 commanded6680 to fill4390 their sacks3627 with corn,1250 and to restore7725 every man's376 money3701 into his sack,8242 and to give5414 them provision6720 for the way:1870 and thus3651 did he6213 unto them. cr 26 And they laded5375 their asses2543 with the corn,7668 and departed3212 thence. cr 27 And as one259 of them opened6605 his sack8242 to give5414 his ass2543 provender4554 in the inn,4411 he espied7200 his money;3701 for, behold, it was in his sack's572 mouth.6310 cr 28 And he said559 unto his brethren,251 My money3701 is restored;7725 and, lo,2009 it is even in my sack:572 and their heart3820 failed3318{Heb. went forth} them, and they were afraid,2729 saying559 one376 to another,251 What is this that God430 hath done6213 unto us? cr

Genesis 42:29 And they came935 unto Jacob3290 their father1 unto the land776 of Canaan,3667 and told5046 him all that befell7136 unto them; saying,559 cr 30 The man,376 who is the lord113 of the land,776 spake1696 roughly7186 to us,{Heb. with us hard things} and took5414 us for spies7270 of the country.776 cr 31 And we said559 unto him, We are true3651 men; we are no spies:7270 cr 32 We be twelve6240 8147 brethren,251 sons1121 of our father;1 one259 is not, and the youngest6996 is this day3117 with our father1 in the land776 of Canaan.3667 cr 33 And the man,376 the lord113 of the country,776 said559 unto us, Hereby shall I know3045 that ye are true3651 men; leave3240 one259 of your brethren251 here with me, and take3947 food for the famine7459 of your households,1004 and be gone:3212 cr 34 And bring935 your youngest6996 brother251 unto me: then shall I know3045 that ye are no spies,7270 but that ye are true3651 men: so will I deliver5414 you your brother,251 and ye shall traffick5503 in the land.776 cr

Genesis 42:35 And it came to pass as they emptied7324 their sacks,8242 that, behold, every man's376 bundle6872 of money3701 was in his sack:8242 and when both they and their father1 saw7200 the bundles6872 of money,3701 they were afraid.3372 cr 36 And Jacob3290 their father1 said559 unto them, Me have ye bereaved7921 of my children: Joseph3130 is not, and Simeon8095 is not, and ye will take3947 Benjamin1144 away: all these things are against me. cr 37 And Reuben7205 spake559 unto his father,1 saying,559 Slay4191 my two8147 sons,1121 if I bring935 him not to thee: deliver5414 him into my hand,3027 and I will bring him to thee again.7725 cr 38 And he said,559 My son1121 shall not go down3381 with you; for his brother251 is dead,4191 and he is left7604 alone: if mischief611 befall7122 him by the way1870 in the which ye go,3212 then shall ye bring down3381 my gray hairs7872 with sorrow3015 to the grave.7585 cr
