Now when Jacob³²⁹⁰ saw⁷²⁰⁰ that there was³⁴²⁶ corn⁷⁶⁶⁸ in Egypt,⁴⁷¹⁴ Jacob³²⁹⁰ said⁵⁵⁹ unto his sons,¹¹²¹ Why do ye look⁷²⁰⁰ one upon another?

And he said,⁵⁵⁹ Behold, I have heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ that there is³⁴²⁶ corn⁷⁶⁶⁸ in Egypt:⁴⁷¹⁴ get you down³³⁸¹ thither, and buy⁷⁶⁶⁶ for us from thence; that we may live,²⁴²¹ and not die.⁴¹⁹¹

And Joseph's³¹³⁰ ten⁶²³⁵ brethren²⁵¹ went down³³⁸¹ to buy⁷⁶⁶⁶ corn¹²⁵⁰ in Egypt.⁴⁷¹⁴

But Benjamin,¹¹⁴⁴ Joseph's³¹³⁰ brother,²⁵¹ Jacob³²⁹⁰ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ not with his brethren;²⁵¹ for he said,⁵⁵⁹ Lest peradventure⁶⁴³⁵ mischief⁶¹¹ befall⁷¹²² him.

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

And Joseph³¹³⁰ was the governor⁷⁹⁸⁹ over the land,⁷⁷⁶ and he it was that sold⁷⁶⁶⁶ to all the people⁵⁹⁷¹ of the land:⁷⁷⁶ and Joseph's³¹³⁰ brethren²⁵¹ came,⁹³⁵ and bowed down⁷⁸¹² themselves before him with their faces⁶³⁹ to the earth.⁷⁷⁶

And Joseph³¹³⁰ saw⁷²⁰⁰ his brethren,²⁵¹ and he knew⁵²³⁴ them, but made himself strange⁵²³⁴ unto them, and spake¹⁶⁹⁶ roughly⁷¹⁸⁶ unto them; and he said⁵⁵⁹ unto them, Whence³⁷⁰ come⁹³⁵ ye? And they said,⁵⁵⁹ From the land⁷⁷⁶ of Canaan³⁶⁶⁷ to buy⁷⁶⁶⁶ food.⁴⁰⁰

And Joseph³¹³⁰ knew⁵²³⁴ his brethren,²⁵¹ but they knew⁵²³⁴ not him.

And Joseph³¹³⁰ remembered²¹⁴² the dreams²⁴⁷² which he dreamed²⁴⁹² of them, and said⁵⁵⁹ unto them, Ye⁸⁵⁹ are spies;⁷²⁷⁰ to see⁷²⁰⁰ the nakedness⁶¹⁷² of the land⁷⁷⁶ ye are come.⁹³⁵

And they said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Nay, my sovereign,¹¹³ but to buy⁷⁶⁶⁶ food⁴⁰⁰ are thy servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ come.⁹³⁵

We⁵¹⁶⁸ are all one²⁵⁹ man's³⁷⁶ sons;¹¹²¹ we are true³⁶⁵¹ men, thy servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ are no spies.⁷²⁷⁰

And he said⁵⁵⁹ unto them, Nay, but to see⁷²⁰⁰ the nakedness⁶¹⁷² of the land⁷⁷⁶ ye are come.⁹³⁵

And they said,⁵⁵⁹ Thy servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ are twelve⁸¹⁴⁷ brethren,²⁵¹ the sons¹¹²¹ of one²⁵⁹ man³⁷⁶ in the land⁷⁷⁶ of Canaan;³⁶⁶⁷ and, behold, the youngest⁶⁹⁹⁶ is this day³¹¹⁷ with our father,¹ and one²⁵⁹ is not.

And Joseph³¹³⁰ said⁵⁵⁹ unto them, That is it that I spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto you, saying,⁵⁵⁹ Ye are spies:⁷²⁷⁰

Hereby²⁰⁶³ ye shall be proved:⁹⁷⁴ By the life²⁴¹⁶ of Pharaoh⁶⁵⁴⁷ ye shall not go forth³³¹⁸ hence, except your youngest⁶⁹⁹⁶ brother²⁵¹ come⁹³⁵ hither.

Send⁷⁹⁷¹ one²⁵⁹ of you, and let him fetch³⁹⁴⁷ your brother,²⁵¹ and ye shall be kept⁶³¹ in prison, that your words¹⁶⁹⁷ may be proved,⁹⁷⁴ whether there be any truth⁵⁷¹ in you:⁸⁵⁴ or else³⁸⁰⁸ by the life²⁴¹⁶ of Pharaoh⁶⁵⁴⁷ surely ye are spies.⁷²⁷⁰

And he put them all together⁶²² into ward⁴⁹²⁹ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ days.³¹¹⁷

And Joseph³¹³⁰ said⁵⁵⁹ unto them the third⁷⁹⁹² day,³¹¹⁷ This do,⁶²¹³ and live;²⁴²¹ for I fear³³⁷³ Elohim:⁴³⁰

If ye⁸⁵⁹ be true³⁶⁵¹ men, let one²⁵⁹ of your brethren²⁵¹ be bound⁶³¹ in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of your prison:⁴⁹²⁹ go³²¹² ye, carry⁹³⁵ corn⁷⁶⁶⁸ for the famine⁷⁴⁵⁹ of your houses:¹⁰⁰⁴

But bring⁹³⁵ your youngest⁶⁹⁹⁶ brother²⁵¹ unto me; so shall your words¹⁶⁹⁷ be verified,⁵³⁹ and ye shall not die.⁴¹⁹¹ And they did⁶²¹³ so.

And they said⁵⁵⁹ one³⁷⁶ to another,²⁵¹ We are verily⁶¹ guilty⁸¹⁸ concerning our brother,²⁵¹ in that⁸³⁴ we saw⁷²⁰⁰ the anguish⁶⁸⁶⁹ of his soul,⁵³¹⁵ when he besought²⁶⁰³ us, and we would not hear;⁸⁰⁸⁵ therefore is this distress⁶⁸⁶⁹ come⁹³⁵ upon us.

And Reuben⁷²⁰⁵ answered⁶⁰³⁰ them, saying,⁵⁵⁹ Spake⁵⁵⁹ I not unto you, saying,⁵⁵⁹ Do not sin²³⁹⁸ against the child;³²⁰⁶ and ye would not hear?⁸⁰⁸⁵ therefore, behold, also his blood¹⁸¹⁸ is required.¹⁸⁷⁵

And they knew³⁰⁴⁵ not that Joseph³¹³⁰ understood⁸⁰⁸⁵ them; for he spake unto them by an interpreter.³⁸⁸⁷

And he turned himself about⁵⁴³⁷ from them, and wept;¹⁰⁵⁸ and returned⁷⁷²⁵ to them again, and communed¹⁶⁹⁶ with them, and took³⁹⁴⁷ from them Simeon,⁸⁰⁹⁵ and bound⁶³¹ him before their eyes.⁵⁸⁶⁹

Then Joseph³¹³⁰ commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ to fill⁴³⁹⁰ their sacks³⁶²⁷ with corn,¹²⁵⁰ and to restore⁷⁷²⁵ every man's³⁷⁶ money³⁷⁰¹ into his sack,⁸²⁴² and to give⁵⁴¹⁴ them provision⁶⁷²⁰ for the way:¹⁸⁷⁰ and thus³⁶⁵¹ did⁶²¹³ he unto them.

And they laded⁵³⁷⁵ their donkeys²⁵⁴³ with the corn,⁷⁶⁶⁸ and departed³²¹² thence.

And as one²⁵⁹ of them opened⁶⁶⁰⁵ his sack⁸²⁴² to give⁵⁴¹⁴ his donkey²⁵⁴³ provender⁴⁵⁵⁴ in the inn,⁴⁴¹¹ he espied⁷²⁰⁰ his money;³⁷⁰¹ for, behold, it was in his sack's⁵⁷² mouth.⁶³¹⁰

And he said⁵⁵⁹ unto his brethren,²⁵¹ My money³⁷⁰¹ is restored;⁷⁷²⁵ and, lo,²⁰⁰⁹ it is even in my sack:⁵⁷² and their heart³⁸²⁰ failed³³¹⁸ them, and they were afraid,²⁷²⁹ saying⁵⁵⁹ one³⁷⁶ to another,²⁵¹ What is this that Elohim⁴³⁰ hath done⁶²¹³ unto us?

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

The man,³⁷⁶ who is the sovereign¹¹³ of the land,⁷⁷⁶ spake¹⁶⁹⁶ roughly⁷¹⁸⁶ to us, and took⁵⁴¹⁴ us for spies⁷²⁷⁰ of the country.⁷⁷⁶

And we said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, We are true³⁶⁵¹ men; we are no spies:⁷²⁷⁰

We be twelve⁶²⁴⁰ brethren,²⁵¹ sons¹¹²¹ of our father;¹ one²⁵⁹ is not, and the youngest⁶⁹⁹⁶ is this day³¹¹⁷ with our father¹ in the land⁷⁷⁶ of Canaan.³⁶⁶⁷

And the man,³⁷⁶ the sovereign¹¹³ of the country,⁷⁷⁶ said⁵⁵⁹ unto us, Hereby shall I know³⁰⁴⁵ that ye are true³⁶⁵¹ men; leave³²⁴⁰ one²⁵⁹ of your brethren²⁵¹ here with me, and take³⁹⁴⁷ food for the famine⁷⁴⁵⁹ of your households,¹⁰⁰⁴ and be gone:³²¹²

And bring⁹³⁵ your youngest⁶⁹⁹⁶ brother²⁵¹ unto me: then shall I know³⁰⁴⁵ that ye are no spies,⁷²⁷⁰ but that ye are true³⁶⁵¹ men: so will I deliver⁵⁴¹⁴ you your brother,²⁵¹ and ye shall traffick⁵⁵⁰³ in the land.⁷⁷⁶

And it came to pass as they emptied⁷³²⁴ their sacks,⁸²⁴² that, behold, every man's³⁷⁶ bundle⁶⁸⁷² of money³⁷⁰¹ was in his sack:⁸²⁴² and when both they and their father¹ saw⁷²⁰⁰ the bundles⁶⁸⁷² of money,³⁷⁰¹ they were afraid.³³⁷²

And Jacob³²⁹⁰ their father¹ said⁵⁵⁹ unto them, me have ye bereaved⁷⁹²¹ of my children: Joseph³¹³⁰ is not, and Simeon⁸⁰⁹⁵ is not, and ye will take³⁹⁴⁷ Benjamin¹¹⁴⁴ away: all these things are against me.

And Reuben⁷²⁰⁵ spake⁵⁵⁹ unto his father,¹ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Slay⁴¹⁹¹ my two⁸¹⁴⁷ sons,¹¹²¹ if I bring⁹³⁵ him not to thee: deliver⁵⁴¹⁴ him into my hand,³⁰²⁷ and I will bring him to thee again.⁷⁷²⁵

And he said,⁵⁵⁹ My son¹¹²¹ shall not go down³³⁸¹ with you; for his brother²⁵¹ is dead,⁴¹⁹¹ and he is left⁷⁶⁰⁴ alone: if mischief⁶¹¹ befall⁷¹²² him by the way¹⁸⁷⁰ in the which ye go,³²¹² then shall ye bring down³³⁸¹ my gray hairs⁷⁸⁷² with sorrow³⁰¹⁵ to the grave.⁷⁵⁸⁵
