And the famine
was sore

And it came to pass, when they had eaten up
the corn
which they had brought out
of Egypt,
their father

unto them, Go again,
buy
us a little
food.

And Israel
said,
Wherefore dealt ye so ill
with me, as to tell
the man
whether ye had yet a brother?
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?

for ever:
For except
we had lingered,
surely now we had returned
this second time.
And their father
Israel
said
unto them, If it must be so now,
do
this; take

in the land

And the men

to Egypt,

before
Joseph.
And when Joseph

to the ruler of his house,
Bring

And the men
were afraid,

and they said,
Because

And said,
O
sir,
we came indeed
down
at the first time
to buy
food:
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

And they made ready

for they heard
that they should eat

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.
And he asked
them of their welfare,
and said,
Is your father
well,
the old man
of whom ye spake?
Is he yet alive?
And they answered,
Thy servant
our father
is in good health,
he is yet alive.
