GE-43:1 And the famine [was] sore in the land.



  • GE-43:2 And it came to pass, when they had eaten up the corn
  • which they had

  • brought out of Egypt, their father said unto them, Go again, buy
  • us a little

  • food.

  • GE-43:3 And Judah spake unto him, saying, The man did solemnly
  • protest unto

  • us, saying, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother [be]
  • with you.

  • GE-43:4 If thou wilt send our brother with us, we will go down
  • and buy thee

  • food:

  • GE-43:5 But if thou wilt not send [him], we will not go down:
  • for the man

  • said unto us, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother [be]
  • with you.

  • GE-43:6 And Israel said, Wherefore dealt ye [so] ill with me,
  • [as] to tell

  • the man whether ye had yet a brother?

  • GE-43:7 And they said, The man asked us straitly of our state,
  • and of our

  • kindred, saying, [Is] your father yet alive? have ye [another]
  • brother? and we

  • told him according to the tenor of these words: could we
  • certainly know that

  • he would say, Bring your brother down?

  • GE-43:8 And Judah said unto Israel his father, Send the lad
  • with me, and we

  • will arise and go; that we may live, and not die, both we, and
  • thou, [and]

  • also our little ones.

  • GE-43:9 I will be surety for him; of my hand shalt thou require
  • him: if I

  • bring him not unto thee, and set him before thee, then let me
  • bear the blame

  • for ever:

  • GE-43:10 For except we had lingered, surely now we had returned
  • this second

  • time.

  • GE-43:11 And their father Israel said unto them, If [it must
  • be] so now, do

  • this; take of the best fruits in the land in your vessels, and
  • carry down the

  • man a present, a little balm, and a little honey, spices, and
  • myrrh, nuts, and

  • almonds:

  • GE-43:12 And take double money in your hand; and the money that
  • was brought

  • again in the mouth of your sacks, carry [it] again in your hand;
  • peradventure

  • it [was] an oversight:

  • GE-43:13 Take also your brother, and arise, go again unto the
  • man:

  • GE-43:14 And God Almighty give you mercy before the man, that
  • he may send

  • away your other brother, and Benjamin. If I be bereaved [of my
  • children], I am

  • bereaved.

  • GE-43:15 And the men took that present, and they took double
  • money in their

  • hand, and Benjamin; and rose up, and went down to Egypt, and
  • stood before

  • Joseph.

  • GE-43:16 And when Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the
  • ruler of his

  • house, Bring [these] men home, and slay, and make ready; for
  • [these] men shall

  • dine with me at noon.

  • GE-43:17 And the man did as Joseph bade; and the man brought
  • the men into

  • Joseph's house.

  • GE-43:18 And the men were afraid, because they were brought
  • into Joseph's

  • house; and they said, Because of the money that was returned in
  • our sacks at

  • the first time are we brought in; that he may seek occasion
  • against us, and

  • fall upon us, and take us for bondmen, and our asses.

  • GE-43:19 And they came near to the steward of Joseph's house,
  • and they

  • communed with him at the door of the house,

  • GE-43:20 And said, O sir, we came indeed down at the first time
  • to buy food:

  • GE-43:21 And it came to pass, when we came to the inn, that we
  • opened our

  • sacks, and, behold, [every] man's money [was] in the mouth of
  • his sack, our

  • money in full weight: and we have brought it again in our hand.

  • GE-43:22 And other money have we brought down in our hands to
  • buy food: we

  • cannot tell who put our money in our sacks.

  • GE-43:23 And he said, Peace [be] to you, fear not: your God,
  • and the God of

  • your father, hath given you treasure in your sacks: I had your
  • money. And he

  • brought Simeon out unto them.

  • GE-43:24 And the man brought the men into Joseph's house, and
  • gave [them]

  • water, and they washed their feet; and he gave their asses
  • provender.

  • GE-43:25 And they made ready the present against Joseph came at
  • noon: for

  • they heard that they should eat bread there.

  • GE-43:26 And when Joseph came home, they brought him the
  • present which [was]

  • in their hand into the house, and bowed themselves to him to the
  • earth.

  • GE-43:27 And he asked them of [their] welfare, and said, [Is]
  • your father

  • well, the old man of whom ye spake? [Is] he yet alive?

  • GE-43:28 And they answered, Thy servant our father [is] in good
  • health, he

  • [is] yet alive. And they bowed down their heads, and made
  • obeisance.

  • GE-43:29 And he lifted up his eyes, and saw his brother
  • Benjamin, his

  • mother's son, and said, [Is] this your younger brother, of whom
  • ye spake unto

  • me? And he said, God be gracious unto thee, my son.

  • GE-43:30 And Joseph made haste; for his bowels did yearn upon
  • his brother:

  • and he sought [where] to weep; and he entered into [his] chamber,
  • and wept

  • there.

  • GE-43:31 And he washed his face, and went out, and refrained
  • himself, and

  • said, Set on bread.

  • GE-43:32 And they set on for him by himself, and for them by
  • themselves, and

  • for the Egyptians, which did eat with him, by themselves:
  • because the

  • Egyptians might not eat bread with the Hebrews; for that [is] an
  • abomination

  • unto the Egyptians.

  • GE-43:33 And they sat before him, the firstborn according to
  • his birthright,

  • and the youngest according to his youth: and the men marvelled
  • one at another.



  • GE-43:34 And he took [and sent] messes unto them from before
  • him: but

  • Benjamin's mess was five times so much as any of theirs. And
  • they drank, and

  • were merry with him.
