Genesis 42

KJV

1  Now when Jacob³²⁹⁰ saw⁷²⁰⁰ that³⁵⁸⁸ there was³⁴²⁶ corn⁷⁶⁶⁸ in Egypt,⁴⁷¹⁴ Jacob³²⁹⁰ said⁵⁵⁹ unto his sons,¹¹²¹ Why⁴¹⁰⁰ do ye look one upon another?⁷²⁰⁰

2  And he said,⁵⁵⁹ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I have heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ there is³⁴²⁶ corn⁷⁶⁶⁸ in Egypt:⁴⁷¹⁴ get you down³³⁸¹ thither,⁸⁰³³ and buy⁷⁶⁶⁶ for us from thence;^{4480 8033} that we may live,²⁴²¹ and not³⁸⁰⁸ die.⁴¹⁹¹

3  And Joseph's³¹³⁰ ten⁶²³⁵ brethren²⁵¹ went down³³⁸¹ to buy⁷⁶⁶⁶ corn¹²⁵⁰ in Egypt.^{4480 4714}

4  But Benjamin,¹¹⁴⁴ Joseph's³¹³⁰ brother,²⁵¹ Jacob³²⁹⁰ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ not³⁸⁰⁸ with⁸⁵⁴ his brethren;²⁵¹ for³⁵⁸⁸ he said,⁵⁵⁹ Lest peradventure⁶⁴³⁵ mischief⁶¹¹ befall⁷¹²² him.

5  And the sons¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ came⁹³⁵ to buy⁷⁶⁶⁶ corn among⁸⁴³² those that came:⁹³⁵ for³⁵⁸⁸ the famine⁷⁴⁵⁸ was¹⁹⁶¹ in the land⁷⁷⁶ of Canaan.³⁶⁶⁷

6  And Joseph³¹³⁰ was the governor⁷⁹⁸⁹ over⁵⁹²¹ the land,⁷⁷⁶ and he¹⁹³¹ it was that sold⁷⁶⁶⁶ to all³⁶⁰⁵ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ of the land:⁷⁷⁶ and Joseph's³¹³⁰ brethren²⁵¹ came,⁹³⁵ and bowed down themselves⁷⁸¹² before him with their faces⁶³⁹ to the earth.⁷⁷⁶

7  And Joseph³¹³⁰ saw^{7200 853} his brethren,²⁵¹ and he knew⁵²³⁴ them, but made himself strange⁵²³⁴ unto⁴¹³ them, and spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ roughly⁷¹⁸⁶ unto⁸⁵⁴ them; and he said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ them, Whence^{4480 370} come⁹³⁵ ye? And they said,⁵⁵⁹ From the land^{4480 776} of Canaan³⁶⁶⁷ to buy⁷⁶⁶⁶ food.⁴⁰⁰

8  And Joseph³¹³⁰ knew^{5234 853} his brethren,²⁵¹ but they¹⁹⁹² knew⁵²³⁴ not³⁸⁰⁸ him.

9  And Joseph³¹³⁰ remembered^{2142 853} the dreams²⁴⁷² which⁸³⁴ he dreamed²⁴⁹² of them, and said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ them, Ye⁸⁵⁹ are spies;⁷²⁷⁰ to see^{7200 853} the nakedness⁶¹⁷² of the land⁷⁷⁶ ye are come.⁹³⁵

10  And they said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ him, Nay,³⁸⁰⁸ my lord,¹¹³ but to buy⁷⁶⁶⁶ food⁴⁰⁰ are thy servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ come.⁹³⁵

11  We⁵¹⁶⁸ are all³⁶⁰⁵ one²⁵⁹ man's³⁷⁶ sons;¹¹²¹ we⁵⁸⁷ are true³⁶⁵¹ men, thy servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ are¹⁹⁶¹ no³⁸⁰⁸ spies.⁷²⁷⁰

12  And he said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ them, Nay,³⁸⁰⁸ but³⁵⁸⁸ to see⁷²⁰⁰ the nakedness⁶¹⁷² of the land⁷⁷⁶ ye are come.⁹³⁵

13  And they said,⁵⁵⁹ Thy servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ are twelve^{8147 6240} brethren,²⁵¹ the sons¹¹²¹ of one²⁵⁹ man³⁷⁶ in the land⁷⁷⁶ of Canaan;³⁶⁶⁷ and, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ the youngest⁶⁹⁹⁶ is this day³¹¹⁷ with⁸⁵⁴ our father,¹ and one²⁵⁹ is not.³⁶⁹

14  And Joseph³¹³⁰ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ them, That¹⁹³¹ is it that⁸³⁴ I spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ unto⁴¹³ you, saying,⁵⁵⁹ Ye⁸⁵⁹ are spies:⁷²⁷⁰

15  Hereby²⁰⁶³ ye shall be proved:⁹⁷⁴ By the life²⁴¹⁶ of Pharaoh⁶⁵⁴⁷ ye shall not go forth³³¹⁸ hence,^{4480 2088} except^{3588 518} your youngest⁶⁹⁹⁶ brother²⁵¹ come⁹³⁵ hither.²⁰⁰⁸

16  Send⁷⁹⁷¹ one²⁵⁹ of⁴⁴⁸⁰ you, and let him fetch^{3947 853} your brother,²⁵¹ and ye⁸⁵⁹ shall be kept in prison,⁶³¹ that your words¹⁶⁹⁷ may be proved,⁹⁷⁴ whether there be any truth⁵⁷¹ in⁸⁵⁴ you: or else^{518 3808} by the life²⁴¹⁶ of Pharaoh⁶⁵⁴⁷ surely³⁵⁸⁸ ye⁸⁵⁹ are spies.⁷²⁷⁰

17  And he put them all together^{622 853} into⁴¹³ ward⁴⁹²⁹ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ days.³¹¹⁷

18  And Joseph³¹³⁰ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ them the third⁷⁹⁹² day,³¹¹⁷ This²⁰⁶³ do,⁶²¹³ and live;²⁴²¹ for I⁵⁸⁹ fear^{3373 853} God:⁴³⁰

19  If⁵¹⁸ ye⁸⁵⁹ be true³⁶⁵¹ men, let one²⁵⁹ of your brethren²⁵¹ be bound⁶³¹ in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of your prison:⁴⁹²⁹ go¹⁹⁸⁰ ye,⁸⁵⁹ carry⁹³⁵ corn⁷⁶⁶⁸ for the famine⁷⁴⁵⁹ of your houses:¹⁰⁰⁴

20  But bring⁹³⁵ your youngest⁶⁹⁹⁶ brother²⁵¹ unto⁴¹³ me; so shall your words¹⁶⁹⁷ be verified,⁵³⁹ and ye shall not³⁸⁰⁸ die.⁴¹⁹¹ And they did⁶²¹³ so.³⁶⁵¹

21  And they said⁵⁵⁹ one³⁷⁶ to⁴¹³ another,²⁵¹ We⁵⁸⁷ are verily⁶¹ guilty⁸¹⁸ concerning⁵⁹²¹ our brother,²⁵¹ in that⁸³⁴ we saw⁷²⁰⁰ the anguish⁶⁸⁶⁹ of his soul,⁵³¹⁵ when he besought^{2603 413} us, and we would not³⁸⁰⁸ hear;⁸⁰⁸⁵ therefore^{5921 3651} is this²⁰⁶³ distress⁶⁸⁶⁹ come⁹³⁵ upon⁴¹³ us.

22  And Reuben⁷²⁰⁵ answered⁶⁰³⁰ them, saying,⁵⁵⁹ Spoke⁵⁵⁹ I not³⁸⁰⁸ unto⁴¹³ you, saying,⁵⁵⁹ Do not⁴⁰⁸ sin²³⁹⁸ against the child;³²⁰⁶ and ye would not³⁸⁰⁸ hear?⁸⁰⁸⁵ therefore, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ also¹⁵⁷¹ his blood¹⁸¹⁸ is required.¹⁸⁷⁵

23  And they¹⁹⁹² knew³⁰⁴⁵ not³⁸⁰⁸ that³⁵⁸⁸ Joseph³¹³⁰ understood⁸⁰⁸⁵ them; for³⁵⁸⁸ he spoke unto⁹⁹⁶ them by an interpreter.³⁸⁸⁷

24  And he turned himself about⁵⁴³⁷ from^{4480 5921} them, and wept;¹⁰⁵⁸ and returned⁷⁷²⁵ to⁴¹³ them again, and communed¹⁶⁹⁶ with⁴¹³ them, and took³⁹⁴⁷ from^{4480 854} them ⁸⁵³ Simeon,⁸⁰⁹⁵ and bound⁶³¹ him before their eyes.⁵⁸⁶⁹

25  Then Joseph³¹³⁰ commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ to fill^{4390 853} their sacks³⁶²⁷ with corn,¹²⁵⁰ and to restore⁷⁷²⁵ every man's³⁷⁶ money³⁷⁰¹ into⁴¹³ his sack,⁸²⁴² and to give⁵⁴¹⁴ them provision⁶⁷²⁰ for the way:¹⁸⁷⁰ and thus³⁶⁵¹ did⁶²¹³ he unto them.

26  And they laded^{5375 5921} their asses²⁵⁴³ with ⁸⁵³ the corn,⁷⁶⁶⁸ and departed¹⁹⁸⁰ thence.^{4480 8033}

27  And as one²⁵⁹ of them opened^{6605 853} his sack⁸²⁴² to give⁵⁴¹⁴ his ass²⁵⁴³ provender⁴⁵⁵⁴ in the inn,⁴⁴¹¹ he espied^{7200 853} his money;³⁷⁰¹ for, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ it¹⁹³¹ was in his sack's⁵⁷² mouth.⁶³¹⁰

28  And he said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ his brethren,²⁵¹ My money³⁷⁰¹ is restored;⁷⁷²⁵ and, lo,²⁰⁰⁹ it is even¹⁵⁷¹ in my sack:⁵⁷² and their heart³⁸²⁰ failed³³¹⁸ them, and they were afraid,²⁷²⁹ saying⁵⁵⁹ one³⁷⁶ to⁴¹³ another,²⁵¹ What⁴¹⁰⁰ is this²⁰⁶³ that God⁴³⁰ hath done⁶²¹³ unto us?

29  And they came⁹³⁵ unto⁴¹³ Jacob³²⁹⁰ their father¹ unto the land⁷⁷⁶ of Canaan,³⁶⁶⁷ and told⁵⁰⁴⁶ him ⁸⁵³ all³⁶⁰⁵ that befell⁷¹³⁶ unto them; saying,⁵⁵⁹

30  The man,³⁷⁶ who is the lord¹¹³ of the land,⁷⁷⁶ spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ roughly⁷¹⁸⁶ to⁸⁵⁴ us, and took⁵⁴¹⁴ us for spies⁷²⁷⁰ of ⁸⁵³ the country.⁷⁷⁶

31  And we said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ him, We⁵⁸⁷ are true³⁶⁵¹ men; we are¹⁹⁶¹ no³⁸⁰⁸ spies:⁷²⁷⁰

32  We⁵⁸⁷ be twelve^{8147 6240} brethren,²⁵¹ sons¹¹²¹ of our father;¹ one²⁵⁹ is not,³⁶⁹ and the youngest⁶⁹⁹⁶ is this day³¹¹⁷ with⁸⁵⁴ our father¹ in the land⁷⁷⁶ of Canaan.³⁶⁶⁷

33  And the man,³⁷⁶ the lord¹¹³ of the country,⁷⁷⁶ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ us, Hereby²⁰⁶³ shall I know³⁰⁴⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ ye⁸⁵⁹ are true³⁶⁵¹ men; leave⁵¹¹⁷ one²⁵⁹ of your brethren²⁵¹ here with⁸⁵⁴ me, and take³⁹⁴⁷ food for the famine⁷⁴⁵⁹ of your households,¹⁰⁰⁴ and be gone:¹⁹⁸⁰

34  And bring^{935 853} your youngest⁶⁹⁹⁶ brother²⁵¹ unto⁴¹³ me: then shall I know³⁰⁴⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ ye⁸⁵⁹ are no³⁸⁰⁸ spies,⁷²⁷⁰ but³⁵⁸⁸ that ye⁸⁵⁹ are true³⁶⁵¹ men: so will I deliver⁵⁴¹⁴ you ⁸⁵³ your brother,²⁵¹ and ye shall traffic⁵⁵⁰³ in the land.⁷⁷⁶

35  And it came to pass¹⁹⁶¹ as they¹⁹⁹² emptied⁷³²⁴ their sacks,⁸²⁴² that, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ every man's³⁷⁶ bundle⁶⁸⁷² of money³⁷⁰¹ was in his sack:⁸²⁴² and when both they¹⁹⁹² and their father¹ saw^{7200 853} the bundles⁶⁸⁷² of money,³⁷⁰¹ they were afraid.³³⁷²

36  And Jacob³²⁹⁰ their father¹ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ them, Me have ye bereaved⁷⁹²¹ of my children: Joseph³¹³⁰ is not,³⁶⁹ and Simeon⁸⁰⁹⁵ is not,³⁶⁹ and ye will take³⁹⁴⁷ Benjamin¹¹⁴⁴ away: all³⁶⁰⁵ these things are¹⁹⁶¹ against⁵⁹²¹ me.

37  And Reuben⁷²⁰⁵ spoke⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ his father,¹ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Slay^{4191 853} my two⁸¹⁴⁷ sons,¹¹²¹ if⁵¹⁸ I bring⁹³⁵ him not³⁸⁰⁸ to⁴¹³ thee: deliver⁵⁴¹⁴ him into⁵⁹²¹ my hand,³⁰²⁷ and I⁵⁸⁹ will bring⁷⁷²⁵ him to⁴¹³ thee again.

38  And he said,⁵⁵⁹ My son¹¹²¹ shall not³⁸⁰⁸ go down³³⁸¹ with⁵⁹⁷³ you; for³⁵⁸⁸ his brother²⁵¹ is dead,⁴¹⁹¹ and he¹⁹³¹ is left⁷⁶⁰⁴ alone:⁹⁰⁵ if mischief⁶¹¹ befall⁷¹²² him by the way¹⁸⁷⁰ in the which⁸³⁴ ye go,¹⁹⁸⁰ then shall ye bring down^{3381 853} my gray hairs⁷⁸⁷² with sorrow³⁰¹⁵ to the grave.⁷⁵⁸⁵

1 ἰδὼν δὲ Ιακωβ ὅτι ἔστιν πρᾶσις ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ εἶπεν τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ ἵνα τί ῥᾳθυμεῖτε

2 ἰδοὺ ἀκήκοα ὅτι ἔστιν σῖτος ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ κατάβητε ἐκεῖ καὶ πρίασθε ἡμῖν μικρὰ βρώματα ἵνα ζῶμεν καὶ μὴ ἀποθάνωμεν

3 κατέβησαν δὲ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ Ιωσηφ οἱ δέκα πρίασθαι σῖτον ἐξ Αἰγύπτου

4 τὸν δὲ Βενιαμιν τὸν ἀδελφὸν Ιωσηφ οὐκ ἀπέστειλεν μετὰ τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτοῦ εἶπεν γάρ μήποτε συμβῇ αὐτῷ μαλακία

5 ἦλθον δὲ οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ ἀγοράζειν μετὰ τῶν ἐρχομένων ἦν γὰρ ὁ λιμὸς ἐν γῇ Χανααν

6 Ιωσηφ δὲ ἦν ἄρχων τῆς γῆς οὗτος ἐπώλει παντὶ τῷ λαῷ τῆς γῆς ἐλθόντες δὲ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ Ιωσηφ προσεκύνησαν αὐτῷ ἐπὶ πρόσωπον ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν

7 ἰδὼν δὲ Ιωσηφ τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ ἐπέγνω καὶ ἠλλοτριοῦτο ἀπ᾽ αὐτῶν καὶ ἐλάλησεν αὐτοῖς σκληρὰ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς πόθεν ἥκατε οἱ δὲ εἶπαν ἐκ γῆς Χανααν ἀγοράσαι βρώματα

8 ἐπέγνω δὲ Ιωσηφ τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ αὐτοὶ δὲ οὐκ ἐπέγνωσαν αὐτόν

9 καὶ ἐμνήσθη Ιωσηφ τῶν ἐνυπνίων ὧν εἶδεν αὐτός καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς κατάσκοποί ἐστε κατανοῆσαι τὰ ἴχνη τῆς χώρας ἥκατε

10 οἱ δὲ εἶπαν οὐχί κύριε οἱ παῖδές σου ἤλθομεν πρίασθαι βρώματα

11 πάντες ἐσμὲν υἱοὶ ἑνὸς ἀνθρώπου εἰρηνικοί ἐσμεν οὐκ εἰσὶν οἱ παῖδές σου κατάσκοποι

12 εἶπεν δὲ αὐτοῖς οὐχί ἀλλὰ τὰ ἴχνη τῆς γῆς ἤλθατε ἰδεῖν

13 οἱ δὲ εἶπαν δώδεκά ἐσμεν οἱ παῖδές σου ἀδελφοὶ ἐν γῇ Χανααν καὶ ἰδοὺ ὁ νεώτερος μετὰ τοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν σήμερον ὁ δὲ ἕτερος οὐχ ὑπάρχει

14 εἶπεν δὲ αὐτοῖς Ιωσηφ τοῦτό ἐστιν ὃ εἴρηκα ὑμῖν λέγων ὅτι κατάσκοποί ἐστε

15 ἐν τούτῳ φανεῖσθε νὴ τὴν ὑγίειαν Φαραω οὐ μὴ ἐξέλθητε ἐντεῦθεν ἐὰν μὴ ὁ ἀδελφὸς ὑμῶν ὁ νεώτερος ἔλθῃ ὧδε

16 ἀποστείλατε ἐξ ὑμῶν ἕνα καὶ λάβετε τὸν ἀδελφὸν ὑμῶν ὑμεῖς δὲ ἀπάχθητε ἕως τοῦ φανερὰ γενέσθαι τὰ ῥήματα ὑμῶν εἰ ἀληθεύετε ἢ οὔ εἰ δὲ μή νὴ τὴν ὑγίειαν Φαραω ἦ μὴν κατάσκοποί ἐστε

17 καὶ ἔθετο αὐτοὺς ἐν φυλακῇ ἡμέρας τρεῖς

18 εἶπεν δὲ αὐτοῖς τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τρίτῃ τοῦτο ποιήσατε καὶ ζήσεσθε τὸν θεὸν γὰρ ἐγὼ φοβοῦμαι

19 εἰ εἰρηνικοί ἐστε ἀδελφὸς ὑμῶν εἷς κατασχεθήτω ἐν τῇ φυλακῇ αὐτοὶ δὲ βαδίσατε καὶ ἀπαγάγετε τὸν ἀγορασμὸν τῆς σιτοδοσίας ὑμῶν

20 καὶ τὸν ἀδελφὸν ὑμῶν τὸν νεώτερον ἀγάγετε πρός με καὶ πιστευθήσονται τὰ ῥήματα ὑμῶν εἰ δὲ μή ἀποθανεῖσθε ἐποίησαν δὲ οὕτως

21 καὶ εἶπεν ἕκαστος πρὸς τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ ναί ἐν ἁμαρτίᾳ γάρ ἐσμεν περὶ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ ἡμῶν ὅτι ὑπερείδομεν τὴν θλῖψιν τῆς ψυχῆς αὐτοῦ ὅτε κατεδέετο ἡμῶν καὶ οὐκ εἰσηκούσαμεν αὐτοῦ ἕνεκεν τούτου ἐπῆλθεν ἐφ᾽ ἡμᾶς ἡ θλῖψις αὕτη

22 ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ Ρουβην εἶπεν αὐτοῖς οὐκ ἐλάλησα ὑμῖν λέγων μὴ ἀδικήσητε τὸ παιδάριον καὶ οὐκ εἰσηκούσατέ μου καὶ ἰδοὺ τὸ αἷμα αὐτοῦ ἐκζητεῖται

23 αὐτοὶ δὲ οὐκ ᾔδεισαν ὅτι ἀκούει Ιωσηφ ὁ γὰρ ἑρμηνευτὴς ἀνὰ μέσον αὐτῶν ἦν

24 ἀποστραφεὶς δὲ ἀπ᾽ αὐτῶν ἔκλαυσεν Ιωσηφ καὶ πάλιν προσῆλθεν πρὸς αὐτοὺς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς καὶ ἔλαβεν τὸν Συμεων ἀπ᾽ αὐτῶν καὶ ἔδησεν αὐτὸν ἐναντίον αὐτῶν

25 ἐνετείλατο δὲ Ιωσηφ ἐμπλῆσαι τὰ ἀγγεῖα αὐτῶν σίτου καὶ ἀποδοῦναι τὸ ἀργύριον ἑκάστου εἰς τὸν σάκκον αὐτοῦ καὶ δοῦναι αὐτοῖς ἐπισιτισμὸν εἰς τὴν ὁδόν καὶ ἐγενήθη αὐτοῖς οὕτως

26 καὶ ἐπιθέντες τὸν σῖτον ἐπὶ τοὺς ὄνους αὐτῶν ἀπῆλθον ἐκεῖθεν

27 λύσας δὲ εἷς τὸν μάρσιππον αὐτοῦ δοῦναι χορτάσματα τοῖς ὄνοις αὐτοῦ οὗ κατέλυσαν εἶδεν τὸν δεσμὸν τοῦ ἀργυρίου αὐτοῦ καὶ ἦν ἐπάνω τοῦ στόματος τοῦ μαρσίππου

28 καὶ εἶπεν τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς αὐτοῦ ἀπεδόθη μοι τὸ ἀργύριον καὶ ἰδοὺ τοῦτο ἐν τῷ μαρσίππῳ μου καὶ ἐξέστη ἡ καρδία αὐτῶν καὶ ἐταράχθησαν πρὸς ἀλλήλους λέγοντες τί τοῦτο ἐποίησεν ὁ θεὸς ἡμῖν

29 ἦλθον δὲ πρὸς Ιακωβ τὸν πατέρα αὐτῶν εἰς γῆν Χανααν καὶ ἀπήγγειλαν αὐτῷ πάντα τὰ συμβάντα αὐτοῖς λέγοντες

30 λελάληκεν ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὁ κύριος τῆς γῆς πρὸς ἡμᾶς σκληρὰ καὶ ἔθετο ἡμᾶς ἐν φυλακῇ ὡς κατασκοπεύοντας τὴν γῆν

31 εἴπαμεν δὲ αὐτῷ εἰρηνικοί ἐσμεν οὔκ ἐσμεν κατάσκοποι

32 δώδεκα ἀδελφοί ἐσμεν υἱοὶ τοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν ὁ εἷς οὐχ ὑπάρχει ὁ δὲ μικρότερος μετὰ τοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν σήμερον ἐν γῇ Χανααν

33 εἶπεν δὲ ἡμῖν ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὁ κύριος τῆς γῆς ἐν τούτῳ γνώσομαι ὅτι εἰρηνικοί ἐστε ἀδελφὸν ἕνα ἄφετε ὧδε μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ τὸν δὲ ἀγορασμὸν τῆς σιτοδοσίας τοῦ οἴκου ὑμῶν λαβόντες ἀπέλθατε

34 καὶ ἀγάγετε πρός με τὸν ἀδελφὸν ὑμῶν τὸν νεώτερον καὶ γνώσομαι ὅτι οὐ κατάσκοποί ἐστε ἀλλ᾽ ὅτι εἰρηνικοί ἐστε καὶ τὸν ἀδελφὸν ὑμῶν ἀποδώσω ὑμῖν καὶ τῇ γῇ ἐμπορεύεσθε

35 ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῷ κατακενοῦν αὐτοὺς τοὺς σάκκους αὐτῶν καὶ ἦν ἑκάστου ὁ δεσμὸς τοῦ ἀργυρίου ἐν τῷ σάκκῳ αὐτῶν καὶ εἶδον τοὺς δεσμοὺς τοῦ ἀργυρίου αὐτῶν αὐτοὶ καὶ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτῶν καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν

36 εἶπεν δὲ αὐτοῖς Ιακωβ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτῶν ἐμὲ ἠτεκνώσατε Ιωσηφ οὐκ ἔστιν Συμεων οὐκ ἔστιν καὶ τὸν Βενιαμιν λήμψεσθε ἐπ᾽ ἐμὲ ἐγένετο πάντα ταῦτα

37 εἶπεν δὲ Ρουβην τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ λέγων τοὺς δύο υἱούς μου ἀπόκτεινον ἐὰν μὴ ἀγάγω αὐτὸν πρὸς σέ δὸς αὐτὸν εἰς τὴν χεῖρά μου κἀγὼ ἀνάξω αὐτὸν πρὸς σέ

38 ὁ δὲ εἶπεν οὐ καταβήσεται ὁ υἱός μου μεθ᾽ ὑμῶν ὅτι ὁ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ ἀπέθανεν καὶ αὐτὸς μόνος καταλέλειπται καὶ συμβήσεται αὐτὸν μαλακισθῆναι ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ ᾗ ἂν πορεύησθε καὶ κατάξετέ μου τὸ γῆρας μετὰ λύπης εἰς ᾅδου

Vul

1 Audiens autem Jacob quod alimenta venderentur in Ægypto, dixit filiis suis: Quare negligitis?

2 audivi quod triticum venundetur in Ægypto: descendite, et emite nobis necessaria, ut possimus vivere, et non consumamur inopia.

3 Descendentes igitur fratres Joseph decem, ut emerent frumenta in Ægypto,

4 Benjamin domi retento a Jacob, qui dixerat fratribus ejus: Ne forte in itinere quidquam patiatur mali:

5 ingressi sunt terram Ægypti cum aliis qui pergebant ad emendum. Erat autem fames in terra Chanaan.

6 Et Joseph erat princeps in terra Ægypti, atque ad ejus nutum frumenta populis vendebantur. Cumque adorassent eum fratres sui,

7 et agnovisset eos, quasi ad alienos durius loquebatur, interrogans eos: Unde venistis? Qui responderunt: De terra Chanaan, ut emamus victui necessaria.

8 Et tamen fratres ipse cognoscens, non est cognitus ab eis.

9 Recordatusque somniorum, quæ aliquando viderat, ait ad eos: Exploratores estis: ut videatis infirmiora terræ venistis.

10 Qui dixerunt: Non est ita, domine, sed servi tui venerunt ut emerent cibos.

11 Omnes filii unius viri sumus: pacifici venimus, nec quidquam famuli tui machinantur mali.

12 Quibus ille respondit: Aliter est: immunita terræ hujus considerare venistis.

13 At illi: Duodecim, inquiunt, servi tui, fratres sumus, filii viri unius in terra Chanaan: minimus cum patre nostro est, alius non est super.

14 Hoc est, ait, quod locutus sum: exploratores estis.

15 Jam nunc experimentum vestri capiam: per salutem Pharaonis non egrediemini hinc, donec veniat frater vester minimus.

16 Mittite ex vobis unum, et adducat eum: vos autem eritis in vinculis, donec probentur quæ dixistis utrum vera an falsa sint: alioquin per salutem Pharaonis exploratores estis.

17 Tradidit ergo illos custodiæ tribus diebus.

18 Die autem tertio eductis de carcere, ait: Facite quæ dixi, et vivetis: Deum enim timeo.

19 Si pacifici estis, frater vester unus ligetur in carcere: vos autem abite, et ferte frumenta quæ emistis, in domos vestras,

20 et fratrem vestrum minimum ad me adducite, ut possim vestros probare sermones, et non moriamini. Fecerunt ut dixerat,

21 et locuti sunt ad invicem: Merito hæc patimur, quia peccavimus in fratrem nostrum, videntes angustiam animæ illius, dum deprecaretur nos, et non audivimus: idcirco venit super nos ista tribulatio.

22 E quibus unus Ruben, ait: Numquid non dixi vobis: Nolite peccare in puerum: et non audistis me? en sanguis ejus exquiritur.

23 Nesciebant autem quod intelligeret Joseph, eo quod per interpretem loqueretur ad eos.

24 Avertitque se parumper, et flevit: et reversus locutus est ad eos.

25 Tollensque Simeon, et ligans illis præsentibus, jussit ministris ut implerent eorum saccos tritico, et reponerent pecunias singulorum in sacculis suis, datis supra cibariis in viam: qui fecerunt ita.

26 At illi portantes frumenta in asinis suis, profecti sunt.

27 Apertoque unus sacco, ut daret jumento pabulum in diversorio, contemplatus pecuniam in ore sacculi,

28 dixit fratribus suis: Reddita est mihi pecunia, en habetur in sacco. Et obstupefacti, turbatique, mutuo dixerunt: Quidnam est hoc quod fecit nobis Deus?

29 Veneruntque ad Jacob patrem suum in terram Chanaan, et narraverunt ei omnia quæ accidissent sibi, dicentes:

30 Locutus est nobis dominus terræ dure, et putavit nos exploratores esse provinciæ.

31 Cui respondimus: Pacifici sumus, nec ullas molimur insidias.

32 Duodecim fratres uno patre geniti sumus: unus non est super, minimus cum patre nostro est in terra Chanaan.

33 Qui ait nobis: Sic probabo quod pacifici sitis: fratrem vestrum unum dimittite apud me, et cibaria domibus vestris necessaria sumite, et abite,

34 fratremque vestrum minimum adducite ad me, ut sciam quod non sitis exploratores: et istum, qui tenetur in vinculis, recipere possitis: ac deinceps quæ vultis, emendi habeatis licentiam.

35 His dictis, cum frumenta effunderent, singuli repererunt in ore saccorum ligatas pecunias, exterritisque simul omnibus,

36 dixit pater Jacob: Absque liberis me esse fecistis: Joseph non est super, Simeon tenetur in vinculis, et Benjamin auferetis: in me hæc omnia mala reciderunt.

37 Cui respondit Ruben: Duos filios meos interfice, si non reduxero illum tibi: trade illum in manu mea, et ego eum tibi restituam.

38 At ille: Non descendet, inquit, filius meus vobiscum: frater ejus mortuus est, et ipse solus remansit: si quid ei adversi acciderit in terra ad quam pergitis, deducetis canos meos cum dolore ad inferos.
