Now when Jacob
saw
that there was
corn
in Egypt,
Jacob
said
unto his sons,
Why do ye look
one upon another?
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.
And Joseph's
ten
brethren
went down
to buy
corn
in Egypt.
But Benjamin,
Joseph's
brother,
Jacob
sent
not with his brethren;
for he said,
Lest peradventure
mischief
befall him.
And the sons
of Israel
came
to buy
corn among
those that came:
for the famine
was in the land
of Canaan.
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.
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.

And Joseph
knew
his brethren,
but they knew
not him.
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.
And they said
unto him, Nay, my lord,
but to buy
food
are thy servants
come.
We
are all one
man's
sons;
we are true
men, thy servants
are no spies.
And he said
unto them, Nay, but to see
the nakedness
of the land
ye are come.
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.
say
And Joseph
said
unto them, That is it that I spake
unto you, saying,
Ye are spies:
Hereby
ye shall be proved:
By the life
of Pharaoh
ye shall not go forth
hence, except your youngest
brother
come
hither.
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.

And he put them all together
into ward
three
days.
And Joseph
said
unto them the third
day,
This do,
and live;
for I fear
God:
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:

But bring
your youngest
brother
unto me; so shall your words
be verified,
and ye shall not die.
And they did
so.
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.
say
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.
say
And they knew
not that Joseph
understood
them; for he spake unto them by an interpreter.
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.
say
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.
And they laded
their asses
with the corn,
and departed
thence.
And as one
of them opened
his sack
to give
his ass

in the inn,
he espied
his money;
for, behold, it was in his sack's
mouth.

And he said
unto his brethren,
My money

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?

And they came
unto Jacob
their father
unto the land
of Canaan,
and told
him all that befell
unto them; saying,
The man,
who is the lord
of the land,
spake
roughly
to us, and took
us for spies
of the country.
And we said
unto him, We are true
men; we are no spies:
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.
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:

And bring
your youngest

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.
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.

And he said,
My son
