unto
us, and we did
not hearken:
therefore hath
this distress come upon us. '

is required. '

doth
to
them so
.

corn
upon
their asses, and go
from
thence ,

of
his bag,

unto his brethren, `
My money hath
been
put
back,
and also
, lo, in my bag
: '
and their heart goeth
out
, and they tremble
, one to another saying
, `
What `
is '
this God hath done to
us !'
And he said
unto his brethren, My money is
restored;
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 ?

things
, and maketh
us as
spies of the land;

spies ,

men --
one of your brethren leave
with me, and `
for '
the famine of your houses
take
ye
and
go
,
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 young
brother unto me ,

I know that ye `
are '
not
spies, but ye `
are '
right
men ;
your
brother
I give
to
you, and ye trade
with
the land. '

brother unto me :

traffic
in
the land.

, they and
their
father,
and
are
afraid ;

to pass as

the
bundles of money
, they were
afraid .

unto them, `
Me ye
have bereaved ;
Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and Benjamin
ye take --
against
me
have
been
all these. '
And Jacob their father said
unto them, Me have ye
bereaved of
my
children:
Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and ye will
take Benjamin
away:
all these things
are
against
me
.
And Reuben speaketh
unto his father, saying, `
My two sons thou
dost
put
to
death
, if I bring him not in
unto
thee ;
give
him into my hand, and I --
I
bring him back
unto
thee ;'
And Reuben spake
unto his father, saying, Slay
my two sons, if I bring him not to
thee :
deliver
him into my hand, and I will
bring him to
thee again.
and he saith
, `
My son doth
not go down with you ,
for his brother `
is '
dead, and he by
himself
is left ;
when
mischief hath
met
him in
the way in which ye go, then ye have
brought
down my grey
hairs in
sorrow to sheol
. '
And he said
, My son shall
not go down with you ;
for his brother is dead, and he is left alone:
if
mischief befall
him by
the way in the
which ye go, then shall
ye bring
down my gray
hairs with
sorrow to the
grave
.
