42:1 Now when Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt, Jacob
said unto his sons, Why do ye look one upon another?
42:2 And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is corn in
Egypt: get you down thither, and buy for us from thence; that
we may live, and not die.
42:3 And Joseph's ten brethren went down to buy corn in
Egypt.
42:4 But Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob sent not with his
brethren; for he said, Lest peradventure mischief befall him.
42:5 And the sons of Israel came to buy [corn] among those
that came: for the famine was in the land of Canaan.
42:6 And Joseph [was] the governor over the land, [and] he
[it was] that sold to all the people of the land: and Joseph's
brethren came, and bowed down themselves before him [with]
their faces to the earth.
42:7 And Joseph saw his brethren, and he knew them, but made
himself strange unto them, and spake roughly unto them; and he
said unto them, Whence come ye? And they said, From the land of
Canaan to buy food.
42:8 And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him.
42:9 And Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed of
them, and said unto them, Ye [are] spies; to see the nakedness
of the land ye are come.
42:10 And they said unto him, Nay, my lord, but to buy food
are thy servants come.
42:11 We [are] all one man's sons; we [are] true [men], thy
servants are no spies.
42:12 And he said unto them, Nay, but to see the nakedness of
the land ye are come.
42:13 And they said, Thy servants [are] twelve brethren, the
sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and, behold, the
youngest [is] this day with our father, and one [is] not.
42:14 And Joseph said unto them, That [is it] that I spake
unto you, saying, Ye [are] spies:
42:15 Hereby ye shall be proved: By the life of Pharaoh ye
shall not go forth hence, except your youngest brother come
hither.
42:16 Send one of you, and let him fetch your brother, and ye
shall be kept in prison, that your words may be proved, whether
[there be any] truth in you: or else by the life of Pharaoh
surely ye [are] spies.
42:17 And he put them all together into ward three days.
42:18 And Joseph said unto them the third day, This do, and
live; [for] I fear God:
42:19 If ye [be] true [men], let one of your brethren be
bound in the house of your prison: go ye, carry corn for the
famine of your houses:
42:20 But bring your youngest brother unto me; so shall your
words be verified, and ye shall not die. And they did so.
42:21 And they said one to another, We [are] verily guilty
concerning our brother, in that we saw the anguish of his soul,
when he besought us, and we would not hear; therefore is this
distress come upon us.
42:22 And Reuben answered them, saying, Spake I not unto you,
saying, Do not sin against the child; and ye would not hear?
therefore, behold, also his blood is required.
42:23 And they knew not that Joseph understood [them]; for he
spake unto them by an interpreter.
42:24 And he turned himself about from them, and wept; and
returned to them again, and communed with them, and took from
them Simeon, and bound him before their eyes.
42:25 Then Joseph commanded to fill their sacks with corn,
and to restore every man's money into his sack, and to give
them provision for the way: and thus did he unto them.
42:26 And they laded their asses with the corn, and departed
thence.
42:27 And as one of them opened his sack to give his ass
provender in the inn, he espied his money; for, behold, it
[was] in his sack's mouth.
42:28 And he said unto his brethren, My money is restored;
and, lo, [it is] even in my sack: and their heart failed
[them], and they were afraid, saying one to another, What [is]
this [that] God hath done unto us?
42:29 And they came unto Jacob their father unto the land of
Canaan, and told him all that befell unto them; saying,
42:30 The man, [who is] the lord of the land, spake roughly
to us, and took us for spies of the country.
42:31 And we said unto him, We [are] true [men]; we are no
spies:
42:32 We [be] twelve brethren, sons of our father; one [is]
not, and the youngest [is] this day with our father in the land
of Canaan.
42:33 And the man, the lord of the country, said unto us,
Hereby shall I know that ye [are] true [men]; leave one of your
brethren [here] with me, and take [food for] the famine of your
households, and be gone:
42:34 And bring your youngest brother unto me: then shall I
know that ye [are] no spies, but [that] ye [are] true [men: so]
will I deliver you your brother, and ye shall traffic in the
land.
42:35 And it came to pass as they emptied their sacks, that,
behold, every man's bundle of money [was] in his sack: and when
[both] they and their father saw the bundles of money, they
were afraid.
42:36 And Jacob their father said unto them, Me have ye
bereaved [of my children]: Joseph [is] not, and Simeon [is]
not, and ye will take Benjamin [away]: all these things are
against me.
42:37 And Reuben spake unto his father, saying, Slay my two
sons, if I bring him not to thee: deliver him into my hand, and
I will bring him to thee again.
42:38 And he said, My son shall not go down with you; for his
brother is dead, and he is left alone: if mischief befall him
by the way in the which ye go, then shall ye bring down my gray
hairs with sorrow to the grave.
