King James Version
And he commandeth
him
who
`is'
over
his house, saying, `
Fill the bags
of
the
men
`
with '
food, as they are
able
to
bear
, and put the
money of
each
in the
mouth
of
his bag;
And he commanded
the
steward
of
his house, saying, Fill the men's
sacks
with food, as much
as
they can
carry
, and put every
man's
money in his sack's
mouth.
and my cup, the silver cup, thou
dost
put
in the mouth of the bag
of
the
young
one
, and his corn -
money ;'
and he doth
according to the word of
Joseph which
he
hath
spoken.
And put
my cup, the silver cup, in the sack's
mouth of the youngest
, and his corn money .
And he did
according to the word that
Joseph had
spoken.
The morning is
bright
, and
the men have
been
sent away, they and their asses --
As
soon
as
the morning was
light
, the men were
sent away, they and their asses .
they have
gone out of the city --
they
have
not gone
far off --
and
Joseph hath
said to
him
who
`is'
over
his house
, `Rise
, pursue
after the men; and thou hast
overtaken
them, and
thou
hast
said
unto them, Why
have ye recompensed
evil for good?
And
when
they were
gone out of the city ,
and
not yet
far off ,
Joseph said unto
his steward
, Up
, follow
after the men; and when
thou dost
overtake
them, say
unto them, Wherefore
have ye rewarded
evil for good?
Is not this that
with
which my lord drinketh ?
and he observeth
diligently
with
it;
ye have done evil `
in '
that
which
ye
have
done
. '
Is not this it
in
which my lord drinketh ,
and whereby
indeed
he divineth?
ye have done evil in so
doing
.
And he overtaketh
them, and speaketh
unto them these words ,
And he overtook
them, and he
spake
unto them these same
words .
and they say
unto him, `Why
doth
my lord speak
according
to
these words? far
be
it
from
thy servants to
do according to this word;
And they said
unto him, Wherefore
saith
my lord these words? God
forbid
that
thy servants should
do according to this thing:
lo
, the money which we found in the
mouth
of
our bags
we brought back
unto thee from
the land of Canaan ,
and
how do
we steal from
the
house
of thy lord
silver or gold?
Behold
, the money ,
which we found in our sacks'
mouths,
we brought again
unto thee out
of
the land of Canaan :
how then
should
we steal out
of thy lord's
house
silver or gold?
with whomsoever of thy servants it is
found, he
hath
died
, and we also are
to
my lord
for
servants
. '
With whomsoever of thy servants it be
found, both
let
him
die
, and we also will
be
my lord's
bondmen
.
And he saith
, `
Now ,
also ,
according to
your words ,
so
it
`is';
he with whom it is found becometh
my servant ,
and ye are
acquitted;'
And he said
, Now also let
it
be
according unto
your words :
he with whom it is found shall
be
my servant ;
and ye shall
be
blameless.
and
they hasten
and
take
down each
his bag
to the earth
, and each
openeth
his bag;
Then
they speedily
took
down every
man
his sack
to the ground
, and opened
every
man
his sack.
and he searcheth
--
at the eldest he
hath
begun
, and at the youngest he
hath
completed
--
and the cup is
found in the
bag
of
Benjamin;
And he searched,
and
began
at the eldest, and left
at the youngest :
and the cup was
found in Benjamin's
sack.
and
they rend
their garments
, and each
ladeth
his ass, and they
turn
back
to the city.
Then
they rent
their clothes
, and laded
every
man
his ass, and returned
to the city.
And Judah --
his brethren also
--
cometh
in
unto
the
house of
Joseph,
and
he is
yet there ,
and they fall
before him to
the earth;
And Judah and
his brethren came
to
Joseph's
house ;
for
he was
yet there :
and they fell
before him on
the ground.
and Joseph saith
to
them, `
What `
is '
this deed
that ye have done? have
ye not known
that a man like
me
doth
diligently
observe
? '
And Joseph said
unto
them, What deed
is this that ye have done? wot
ye not that such
a man as
I
can
certainly
divine
?
And Judah saith
, `
What do
we say to
my lord? what do
we speak? and
what
--
do
we justify
ourselves? God hath found out the iniquity of thy servants ;
lo
, we `
are '
servants
to
my lord
, both we, and he in
whose
hand
the cup hath
been
found ;'
And Judah said
, What shall
we say unto
my lord? what shall
we speak? or
how
shall
we clear
ourselves? God hath found out the iniquity of thy servants :
behold
, we are my lord's
servants
, both we, and he also
with
whom
the cup is
found .
and he saith
, `Far
be
it
from
me
to
do this;
the man in whose hand the cup hath
been
found, he becometh
my servant; and ye
, go
ye
up in peace unto your father. '
And he said
, God
forbid
that
I
should
do so:
but
the man in whose hand the cup is
found, he shall
be
my servant; and as
for
you
, get
you
up in peace unto your father.
And
Judah cometh
nigh
unto him, and saith,
`O
, my lord, let thy servant speak
, I pray thee, a word in the
ears
of
my lord
, and let not thine anger burn against thy servant --
for thou art as Pharaoh.
Then
Judah came
near
unto him, and said
, Oh
my lord, let thy servant, I pray thee, speak
a word in my lord's
ears
, and let not thine anger burn against thy servant :
for thou art even
as Pharaoh.
My lord hath
asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father or brother?
My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father ,
or a
brother?
and we say
unto my lord, We have a father, an aged
one
, and a child of old age, a little one; and his brother died
, and he is left alone
of his mother, and his father hath
loved
him.
And we said
unto my lord, We have a father, an old
man
, and a child of his
old age, a little one; and his brother is
dead
, and he alone
is left of his mother, and his father loveth
him.
`
And thou sayest
unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, and
I set mine eye
upon him ;
And thou saidst
unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, that
I may
set mine eyes
upon him .
and we say
unto my lord, The youth
is
not
able
to
leave his father ,
when
he hath
left
his father, then
he
hath
died;
And we said
unto my lord, The lad
cannot
leave his father :
for
if
he should
leave
his father, his
father
would
die.
and thou sayest
unto thy servants, If
your young
brother come not
down with you, ye add
not
to
see my face.
And thou saidst
unto thy servants, Except
your youngest
brother come down with you, ye shall
see my face no
more
.
`
And it cometh
to pass ,
that
we have
come
up unto thy servant my father, that
we declare
to
him the words of my lord ;
And it came
to pass when
we came
up unto thy servant my father, we told
him the words of my lord .
and our father saith
, Turn
back
, buy for
us a little food ,
And our father said
, Go
again
, and
buy us a little food .
and we say
, We are
not
able
to
go down ;
if our young
brother is
with us, then we have
gone
down ;
for we are
not able
to
see the man's face, and
our young
brother not
with us.
And we said
, We cannot
go down :
if our youngest
brother be
with us, then will
we go
down :
for we may
not see the man's face, except
our youngest
brother be
with us.
`
And thy servant my father saith
unto us, Ye --
ye
have
known
that two
did
my wife bare to
me ,
And thy servant my father said
unto us, Ye know
that my wife bare me two
sons:
and the one goeth
out from me, and I say
, Surely he is torn --
torn!
and I have
not
seen
him since ;
And the one went
out from me, and I said
, Surely he is torn in
pieces;
and I saw
him not
since :
when
ye have
taken
also
this from my
presence
, and mischief hath
met
him, then
ye have
brought
down my grey
hairs with evil
to sheol
.
And
if
ye take
this also
from me
, and mischief befall
him, ye shall
bring
down my gray
hairs with sorrow
to the
grave
.
`And
now ,
at
my
coming
in
unto
thy servant my father, and the youth
not with us (and
his soul
is bound up in his
soul),
Now therefore
when
I
come
to
thy servant my father, and the lad
be
not with us ;
seeing
that
his life
is bound up in the
lad's
life;
then
it hath
come to pass when he seeth that the youth
is not, that he hath
died,
and thy servants have
brought
down the grey
hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to sheol;
It shall
come to pass ,
when he seeth that the lad
is not with
us
, that he will
die:
and thy servants shall
bring
down the gray
hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to the
grave.
for thy servant obtained
the
youth
by
surety from
my father, saying, If I bring him not in
unto thee --
then I have
sinned
against
my father all
the
days
.
For thy servant became
surety for
the
lad
unto
my father, saying, If I bring him not unto thee ,
then I shall
bear
the
blame
to
my father for
ever
.
`And
now ,
let
thy
servant
, I pray thee, abide instead of the youth
a servant
to my lord ,
and the youth
goeth
up with his brethren ,
Now therefore
, I pray thee, let
thy
servant
abide instead of the lad
a bondman
to my lord ;
and let
the lad
go
up with his brethren .
for how do
I go up unto
my father, and the youth
not with me? lest I look
on
the evil which
doth
find
my father. '
For how shall
I go up to
my father, and the lad
be
not with me? lest peradventure
I see
the evil that
shall
come
on
my father.
