GE-42:1 Now when Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt, Jacob

said

unto his sons, Why do ye look one upon another? GE-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.

GE-42:3 And Joseph's ten brethren went down to buy corn in

Egypt.

GE-42:4 But Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob sent not with his

brethren; for he said, Lest peradventure mischief befall him.

GE-42:5 And the sons of Israel came to buy [corn] among those

that

came: for the famine was in the land of Canaan.

GE-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.

GE-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.

GE-42:8 And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him.

GE-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.

GE-42:10 And they said unto him, Nay, my lord, but to buy food

are

thy servants come.

GE-42:11 We [are] all one man's sons; we [are] true [men], thy

servants are no spies.

GE-42:12 And he said unto them, Nay, but to see the nakedness

of the

land ye are come.

GE-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.

GE-42:14 And Joseph said unto them, That [is it] that I spake

unto

you, saying, Ye [are] spies:

GE-42:15 Hereby ye shall be proved: By the life of Pharaoh ye

shall

not go forth hence, except your youngest brother come hither.

GE-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.

GE-42:17 And he put them all together into ward three days.

GE-42:18 And Joseph said unto them the third day, This do, and

live;

[for] I fear God:

GE-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:

GE-42:20 But bring your youngest brother unto me; so shall your

words

be verified, and ye shall not die. And they did so.

GE-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.

GE-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.

GE-42:23 And they knew not that Joseph understood [them]; for he

spake unto them by an interpreter.

GE-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.

GE-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.

GE-42:26 And they laded their asses with the corn, and departed

thence.

GE-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.

GE-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?

GE-42:29 And they came unto Jacob their father unto the land of

Canaan, and told him all that befell unto them; saying,

GE-42:30 The man, [who is] the lord of the land, spake roughly

to us,

and took us for spies of the country.

GE-42:31 And we said unto him, We [are] true [men]; we are no

spies:

GE-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.

GE-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:

GE-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.

GE-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.

GE-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.

GE-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.

GE-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.
