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.
