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.
