14

And Josephh3130 saidh559h8799 unto them, That is it that I spakeh1696h8765 unto you, sayingh559h8800, Ye are spiesh7270h8764:

15

Herebyh2063 ye shall be provedh974h8735: By the lifeh2416 of Pharaohh6547 ye shall not go forthh3318h8799 hence, except your youngesth6996 brotherh251 comeh935h8800 hither.

16

Sendh7971h8798 oneh259 of you, and let him fetchh3947h8799 your brotherh251, and ye shall be kept in prisonh631h8734, that your wordsh1697 may be provedh974h8735, whether there be any truthh571 inh854 you: or elseh3808 by the lifeh2416 of Pharaohh6547 surely ye are spiesh7270h8764. kept...: Heb. bound

19

If ye be trueh3651 men , let oneh259 of your brethrenh251 be boundh631h8735 in the househ1004 of your prisonh4929: goh3212h8798 ye, carryh935h8685 cornh7668 for the famineh7459 of your housesh1004:

20

But bringh935h8686 your youngesth6996 brotherh251 unto me; so shall your wordsh1697 be verifiedh539h8735, and ye shall not dieh4191h8799. And they didh6213h8799 so.

21

And they saidh559h8799 oneh376 to anotherh251, We are verilyh61 guiltyh818 concerning our brotherh251, in thath834 we sawh7200h8804 the anguishh6869 of his soulh5315, when he besoughth2603h8692 us, and we would not hearh8085h8804; therefore is this distressh6869 comeh935h8804 upon us.

22

And Reubenh7205 answeredh6030h8799 them, sayingh559h8800, Spake Ih559h8804 not unto you, sayingh559h8800, Do not sinh2398h8799 against the childh3206; and ye would not hearh8085h8804? therefore, behold, also his bloodh1818 is requiredh1875h8738.

And he turned himself abouth5437h8735 from them, and wepth1058h8799; and returned to them againh7725h8799, and communedh1696h8762 with them, and tookh3947h8799 from them Simeonh8095, and boundh631h8799 him before their eyesh5869.

25

Then Josephh3130 commandedh6680h8762 to fillh4390h8762 their sacksh3627 with cornh1250, and to restoreh7725h8687 every man'sh376 moneyh3701 into his sackh8242, and to giveh5414h8800 them provisionh6720 for the wayh1870: and thush3651 did heh6213h8799 unto them.

26

And they ladedh5375h8799 their assesh2543 with the cornh7668, and departedh3212h8799 thence.

27

And as oneh259 of them openedh6605h8799 his sackh8242 to giveh5414h8800 his assh2543 provenderh4554 in the innh4411, he espiedh7200h8799 his moneyh3701; for, behold, it was in his sack'sh572 mouthh6310.

28

And he saidh559h8799 unto his brethrenh251, My moneyh3701 is restoredh7725h8717; and, loh2009, it is even in my sackh572: and their hearth3820 failedh3318h8799 them , and they were afraidh2729h8799, sayingh559h8800 oneh376 to anotherh251, What is this that Godh430 hath doneh6213h8804 unto us? failed...: Heb. went forth

And they cameh935h8799 unto Jacobh3290 their fatherh1 unto the landh776 of Canaanh3667, and toldh5046h8686 him all that befellh7136h8802 unto them; sayingh559h8800,

30

The manh376, who is the lordh113 of the landh776, spakeh1696h8765 roughlyh7186 to us, and tookh5414h8799 us for spiesh7270h8764 of the countryh776. roughly...: Heb. with us hard things

31

And we saidh559h8799 unto him, We are trueh3651 men ; we are no spiesh7270h8764:

33

And the manh376, the lordh113 of the countryh776, saidh559h8799 unto us, Hereby shall I knowh3045h8799 that ye are trueh3651 men ; leaveh3240h8685 oneh259 of your brethrenh251 here with me, and takeh3947h8798 food for the famineh7459 of your householdsh1004, and be goneh3212h8798:

34

And bringh935h8685 your youngesth6996 brotherh251 unto me: then shall I knowh3045h8799 that ye are no spiesh7270h8764, but that ye are trueh3651 men: so will I deliverh5414h8799 you your brotherh251, and ye shall traffickh5503h8799 in the landh776.

35

And it came to pass as they emptiedh7324h8688 their sacksh8242, that, behold, every man'sh376 bundleh6872 of moneyh3701 was in his sackh8242: and when both they and their fatherh1 sawh7200h8799 the bundlesh6872 of moneyh3701, they were afraidh3372h8799.

36

And Jacobh3290 their fatherh1 saidh559h8799 unto them, Me have ye bereavedh7921h8765 of my children : Josephh3130 is not, and Simeonh8095 is not, and ye will takeh3947h8799 Benjaminh1144 away : all these things are against me.

37

And Reubenh7205 spakeh559h8799 unto his fatherh1, sayingh559h8800, Slayh4191h8686 my twoh8147 sonsh1121, if I bringh935h8686 him not to thee: deliverh5414h8798 him into my handh3027, and I will bring him to thee againh7725h8686.

38

And he saidh559h8799, My sonh1121 shall not go downh3381h8799 with you; for his brotherh251 is deadh4191h8804, and he is lefth7604h8738 alone: if mischiefh611 befallh7122h8804 him by the wayh1870 in the which ye goh3212h8799, then shall ye bring downh3381h8689 my gray hairsh7872 with sorrowh3015 to the graveh7585.
