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
commune
d 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
traffick
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
.
