V.1 Now when Jacob 3290 saw 7200-4 that there was 3426 corn 7668 in Egypt, 4714 Jacob 3290 said 559-4 unto his sons, 1121 Why do ye look 7200-101 one upon another?
42:2 And he said, 559-4 Behold, I have heard 8085-1 that there is 3426 corn 7668 in Egypt: 4714 get you down 3381-3 thither, and buy 7666-3 for us from thence; that we may live, 2421-4 and not die. 4191-4
42:3 And Joseph's 3130 ten 6235 brethren 251 went down 3381-4 to buy 7666-2 corn 1250 in Egypt. 4714
42:4 But Benjamin, 1144 Joseph's 3130 brother, 251 Jacob 3290 sent 7971-1 not with his brethren; 251 for he said, 559-1 Lest peradventure 6435 mischief 611 befall 7122-4 him.
42:5 And the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 came 935-4 to buy 7666- 2 [corn] among 8432 those that came: 935-6 for the famine 7458 was in the land 776 of Canaan. 3667
42:6 And Joseph 3130 [was] the governor 7989 over the land, 776 [and] he [it was] that sold 7666-56 to all the people 5971 of the land: 776 and Joseph's 3130 brethren 251 came, 935-4 and bowed down 7812-101 themselves before him [with] their faces 639 to the earth. 776
42:7 And Joseph 3130 saw 7200-4 his brethren, 251 and he knew 5234-55 them, but made himself strange 5234-101 unto them, and spake 1696-17 roughly 7186 unto them; and he said 559-4 unto them, Whence 370 come 935-1 ye? And they said, 559-4 From the land 776 of Canaan 3667 to buy 7666-2 food. 400
42:8 And Joseph 3130 knew 5234-55 his brethren, 251 but they knew 5234-52 not him.
42:9 And Joseph 3130 remembered 2142-4 the dreams 2472 which he dreamed 2492-1 of them, and said 559-4 unto them, Ye 859 [are] spies; 7270-18 to see 7200-2 the nakedness 6172 of the land 776 ye are come. 935-1
42:10 And they said 559-4 unto him, Nay, my lord, 113 but to buy 7666-2 food 400 are thy servants 5650 come. 935-1
42:11 We 5168 [are] all one 259 man's 376 sons; 1121 we [are] true 3651 [men], thy servants 5650 are no spies. 7270-18
42:12 And he said 559-4 unto them, Nay, but to see 7200-2 the nakedness 6172 of the land 776 ye are come. 935-1
42:13 And they said, 559-4 Thy servants 5650 [are] twelve 8147 6240 brethren, 251 the sons 1121 of one 259 man 376 in the land 776 of Canaan; 3667 and, behold, the youngest 6996 [is] this day 3117 with our father, 1 and one 259 [is] not.
42:14 And Joseph 3130 said 559-4 unto them, That [is it] that I spake 1696-14 unto you, saying, 559-2 Ye [are] spies: 7270- 18
42:15 Hereby 2063 ye shall be proved: 974-11 By the life 2416 of Pharaoh 6547 ye shall not go forth 3318-4 hence, except your youngest 6996 brother 251 come 935-2 hither.
42:16 Send 7971-3 one 259 of you, and let him fetch 3947-4 your brother, 251 and ye shall be kept 631-10 in prison, that your words 1697 may be proved, 974-11 whether [there be any] truth 571 in you: 854 or else 3808 by the life 2416 of Pharaoh 6547 surely ye [are] spies. 7270-18
42:17 And he put them all together 622-4 into ward 4929 three 7969 days. 3117
42:18 And Joseph 3130 said 559-4 unto them the third 7992 day, 3117 This do, 6213-3 and live; 2421-3 [for] I fear 3373 God: 430
42:19 If ye 859 [be] true 3651 [men], let one 259 of your brethren 251 be bound 631-11 in the house 1004 of your prison: 4929 go 3212-3 ye, carry 935-54 corn 7668 for the famine 7459 of your houses: 1004
42:20 But bring 935-55 your youngest 6996 brother 251 unto me; so shall your words 1697 be verified, 539-11 and ye shall not die. 4191-4 And they did 6213-4 so.
42:21 And they said 559-4 one 376 to another, 251 We [are] verily 61 guilty 818 concerning our brother, 251 in that 834 we saw 7200-1 the anguish 6869 of his soul, 5315 when he besought 2603-99 us, and we would not hear; 8085-1 therefore is this distress 6869 come 935-1 upon us.
42:22 And Reuben 7205 answered 6030-4 them, saying, 559-2 Spake 559-1 I not unto you, saying, 559-2 Do not sin 2398-4 against the child; 3206 and ye would not hear? 8085-1 therefore, behold, also his blood 1818 is required. 1875-8
42:23 And they knew 3045-1 not that Joseph 3130 understood 8085-6 [them]; for he spake unto them by an interpreter. 3887-56
42:24 And he turned himself about 5437-11 from them, and wept; 1058-4 and returned 7725-4 to them again, and communed 1696-17 with them, and took 3947-4 from them Simeon, 8095 and bound 631-4 him before their eyes. 5869
42:25 Then Joseph 3130 commanded 6680-17 to fill 4390-17 their sacks 3627 with corn, 1250 and to restore 7725-53 every man's 376 money 3701 into his sack, 8242 and to give 5414-2 them provision 6720 for the way: 1870 and thus 3651 did 6213- 4 he unto them.
42:26 And they laded 5375-4 their asses 2543 with the corn, 7668 and departed 3212-4 thence.
42:27 And as one 259 of them opened 6605-4 his sack 8242 to give 5414-2 his ass 2543 provender 4554 in the inn, 4411 he espied 7200-4 his money; 3701 for, behold, it [was] in his sack's 572 mouth. 6310
42:28 And he said 559-4 unto his brethren, 251 My money 3701 is restored; 7725-90 and, lo, 2009 [it is] even in my sack: 572 and their heart 3820 failed 3318-4 [them], and they were afraid, 2729-4 saying 559-2 one 376 to another, 251 What [is] this [that] God 430 hath done 6213-1 unto us?
42:29 And they came 935-4 unto Jacob 3290 their father 1 unto the land 776 of Canaan, 3667 and told 5046-55 him all that befell 7136-6 unto them; saying, 559-2
42:30 The man, 376 [who is] the lord 113 of the land, 776 spake 1696-14 roughly 7186 to us, and took 5414-4 us for spies 7270-18 of the country. 776
42:31 And we said 559-4 unto him, We [are] true 3651 [men]; we are no spies: 7270-18
42:32 We [be] twelve 6240 8147 brethren, 251 sons 1121 of our father; 1 one 259 [is] not, and the youngest 6996 [is] this day 3117 with our father 1 in the land 776 of Canaan. 3667
42:33 And the man, 376 the lord 113 of the country, 776 said 559-4 unto us, Hereby shall I know 3045-4 that ye [are] true 3651 [men]; leave 3240-54 one 259 of your brethren 251 [here] with me, and take 3947-3 [food for] the famine 7459 of your households, 1004 and be gone: 3212-3
42:34 And bring 935-54 your youngest 6996 brother 251 unto me: then shall I know 3045-4 that ye [are] no spies, 7270-18 but [that] ye [are] true 3651 [men: so] will I deliver 5414-4 you your brother, 251 and ye shall traffick 5503-4 in the land. 776
42:35 And it came to pass as they emptied 7324-56 their sacks, 8242 that, behold, every man's 376 bundle 6872 of money 3701 [was] in his sack: 8242 and when [both] they and their father 1 saw 7200-4 the bundles 6872 of money, 3701 they were afraid. 3372-4
42:36 And Jacob 3290 their father 1 said 559-4 unto them, Me have ye bereaved 7921-14 [of my children]: Joseph 3130 [is] not, and Simeon 8095 [is] not, and ye will take 3947-4 Benjamin 1144 [away]: all these things are against me.
42:37 And Reuben 7205 spake 559-4 unto his father, 1 saying, 559-2 Slay 4191-55 my two 8147 sons, 1121 if I bring 935-55 him not to thee: deliver 5414-3 him into my hand, 3027 and I will bring him to thee again. 7725-55
42:38 And he said, 559-4 My son 1121 shall not go down 3381-4 with you; for his brother 251 is dead, 4191-1 and he is left 7604-8 alone: if mischief 611 befall 7122-1 him by the way 1870 in the which ye go, 3212-4 then shall ye bring down 3381-52 my gray hairs 7872 with sorrow 3015 to the grave. 7585
