And the famine⁷⁴⁵⁸ was sore³⁵¹⁵ in the land.⁷⁷⁶

And it came to pass, when they had³⁶¹⁵ eaten³⁹⁸ up the corn⁷⁶⁶⁸ which they had brought⁹³⁵ out of Egypt,⁴⁷¹⁴ their father¹ said⁵⁵⁹ unto them, Go again,⁷⁷²⁵ buy⁷⁶⁶⁶ us a little⁴⁵⁹² food.⁴⁰⁰

And Judah³⁰⁶³ spake⁵⁵⁹ unto him, saying,⁵⁵⁹ The man³⁷⁶ did solemnly⁵⁷⁴⁹ protest⁵⁷⁴⁹ unto us, saying,⁵⁵⁹ Ye shall not see⁷²⁰⁰ my face,⁶⁴⁴⁰ except¹¹¹⁵ your brother²⁵¹ be with you.

If thou wilt³⁴²⁶ send⁷⁹⁷¹ our brother²⁵¹ with us, we will go down³³⁸¹ and buy⁷⁶⁶⁶ thee food:⁴⁰⁰

But if thou wilt not send⁷⁹⁷¹ him, we will not go down:³³⁸¹ for the man³⁷⁶ said⁵⁵⁹ unto us, Ye shall not see⁷²⁰⁰ my face,⁶⁴⁴⁰ except your brother²⁵¹ be with you.

And Israel³⁴⁷⁸ said,⁵⁵⁹ Wherefore dealt ye so ill⁷⁴⁸⁹ with me, as to tell⁵⁰⁴⁶ the man³⁷⁶ whether ye had yet a brother?²⁵¹

And they said,⁵⁵⁹ The man³⁷⁶ asked⁷⁵⁹² us straitly⁷⁵⁹² of our state, and of our kindred,⁴¹³⁸ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Is your father¹ yet alive?²⁴¹⁶ have³⁴²⁶ ye another brother?²⁵¹ and we told⁵⁰⁴⁶ him according⁵⁹²¹ to the tenor⁶³¹⁰ of these words:¹⁶⁹⁷ could we certainly³⁰⁴⁵ know³⁰⁴⁵ that he would say,⁵⁵⁹ Bring your brother²⁵¹ down?³³⁸¹

And Judah³⁰⁶³ said⁵⁵⁹ unto Israel³⁴⁷⁸ his father,¹ send⁷⁹⁷¹ the lad⁵²⁸⁸ with me, and we will arise⁶⁹⁶⁵ and go;³²¹² that we may live,²⁴²¹ and not die,⁴¹⁹¹ both we, and thou, and also our little ones.²⁹⁴⁵

I will be surety⁶¹⁴⁸ for him; of my hand³⁰²⁷ shalt thou require¹²⁴⁵ him: if I bring⁹³⁵ him not⁵¹⁸ unto thee, and set³³²² him before⁶⁴⁴⁰ thee, then let me bear the blame²³⁹⁸ for ever:³¹¹⁷

For except³⁸⁸⁴ we had lingered,⁴¹⁰² surely now we had returned⁷⁷²⁵ this second time.⁶⁴⁷¹

And their father¹ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto them, If it must be so now,⁶⁴⁵ do⁶²¹³ this; take³⁹⁴⁷ of the best fruits²¹⁷³ in the land⁷⁷⁶ in your vessels,³⁶²⁷ and carry down³³⁸¹ the man³⁷⁶ a present,⁴⁵⁰³ a little⁴⁵⁹² balm,⁶⁸⁷⁵ and a little⁴⁵⁹² honey,¹⁷⁰⁶ spices,⁵²¹⁹ and myrrh,³⁹¹⁰ nuts,⁹⁹² and almonds:⁸²⁴⁷

And take³⁹⁴⁷ double⁴⁹³² money³⁷⁰¹ in your hand;³⁰²⁷ and the money³⁷⁰¹ that was brought again⁷⁷²⁵ in the mouth⁶³¹⁰ of your sacks,⁵⁷² carry it again⁷⁷²⁵ in your hand;³⁰²⁷ peradventure it was an oversight:⁴⁸⁷⁰

Take³⁹⁴⁷ also your brother,²⁵¹ and arise,⁶⁹⁶⁵ go again⁷⁷²⁵ unto the man:³⁷⁶

And El⁴¹⁰ Almighty⁷⁷⁰⁶ give⁵⁴¹⁴ you mercy⁷³⁵⁶ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the man,³⁷⁶ that he may send away⁷⁹⁷¹ your other³¹² brother,²⁵¹ and Benjamin.¹¹⁴⁴ If⁸³⁴ I be bereaved⁷⁹²¹ of my children, I am bereaved.⁷⁹²¹

And the men⁵⁸² took³⁹⁴⁷ that²⁰⁶³ present,⁴⁵⁰³ and they took³⁹⁴⁷ double⁴⁹³² money³⁷⁰¹ in their hand,³⁰²⁷ and Benjamin;¹¹⁴⁴ and rose up,⁶⁹⁶⁵ and went down³³⁸¹ to Egypt,⁴⁷¹⁴ and stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Joseph.³¹³⁰

And when Joseph³¹³⁰ saw⁷²⁰⁰ Benjamin¹¹⁴⁴ with them,⁸⁵⁴ he said⁵⁵⁹ to the ruler of his house,¹⁰⁰⁴ Bring⁹³⁵ these men⁵⁸² home,¹⁰⁰⁴ and slay,²⁸⁷³ and make ready;³⁵⁵⁹ for these men⁵⁸² shall dine³⁹⁸ with me at noon.⁶⁶⁷²

And the man³⁷⁶ did⁶²¹³ as Joseph³¹³⁰ bade;⁵⁵⁹ and the man³⁷⁶ brought⁹³⁵ the men⁵⁸² into Joseph's³¹³⁰ house.¹⁰⁰⁴

And the men⁵⁸² were afraid,³³⁷² because they were brought into⁹³⁵ Joseph's³¹³⁰ house;¹⁰⁰⁴ and they said,⁵⁵⁹ Because of¹⁶⁹⁷ the money³⁷⁰¹ that was returned⁷⁷²⁵ in our sacks⁵⁷² at the first time⁸⁴⁶² are we brought in;⁹³⁵ that he may seek occasion¹⁵⁵⁶ against us, and fall⁵³⁰⁷ upon us, and take³⁹⁴⁷ us for bondmen,⁵⁶⁵⁰ and our donkeys.²⁵⁴³

And they came near⁵⁰⁶⁶ to the steward³⁷⁶ of Joseph's³¹³⁰ house,¹⁰⁰⁴ and they communed¹⁶⁹⁶ with him at the door⁶⁶⁰⁷ of the house,¹⁰⁰⁴

And said,⁵⁵⁹ O⁹⁹⁴ sir,¹¹³ we came indeed³³⁸¹ down³³⁸¹ at the first time⁸⁴⁶² to buy⁷⁶⁶⁶ food:⁴⁰⁰

And it came to pass, when we came⁹³⁵ to the inn,⁴⁴¹¹ that we opened⁶⁶⁰⁵ our sacks,⁵⁷² and, behold, every man's³⁷⁶ money³⁷⁰¹ was in the mouth⁶³¹⁰ of his sack,⁵⁷² our money³⁷⁰¹ in full weight:⁴⁹⁴⁸ and we have brought it again⁷⁷²⁵ in our hand.³⁰²⁷

And other³¹² money³⁷⁰¹ have we brought down³³⁸¹ in our hands³⁰²⁷ to buy⁷⁶⁶⁶ food:⁴⁰⁰ we cannot tell³⁰⁴⁵ who put⁷⁷⁶⁰ our money³⁷⁰¹ in our sacks.⁵⁷²

And he said,⁵⁵⁹ Peace⁷⁹⁶⁵ be to you, fear³³⁷² not: your Elohim,⁴³⁰ and the Elohim⁴³⁰ of your father,¹ hath given⁵⁴¹⁴ you treasure⁴³⁰¹ in your sacks:⁵⁷² I had⁹³⁵ your money.³⁷⁰¹ And he brought Simeon⁸⁰⁹⁵ out³³¹⁸ unto them.

And the man³⁷⁶ brought⁹³⁵ the men⁵⁸² into Joseph's³¹³⁰ house,¹⁰⁰⁴ and gave⁵⁴¹⁴ them water,⁴³²⁵ and they washed⁷³⁶⁴ their feet;⁷²⁷² and he gave⁵⁴¹⁴ their donkeys²⁵⁴³ provender.⁴⁵⁵⁴

And they made ready³⁵⁵⁹ the present⁴⁵⁰³ against⁵⁷⁰⁴ Joseph³¹³⁰ came⁹³⁵ at noon:⁶⁶⁷² for they heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ that they should eat³⁹⁸ bread³⁸⁹⁹ there.

And when Joseph³¹³⁰ came⁹³⁵ home,¹⁰⁰⁴ they brought⁹³⁵ him the present⁴⁵⁰³ which was in their hand³⁰²⁷ into the house,¹⁰⁰⁴ and bowed⁷⁸¹² themselves to him to the earth.⁷⁷⁶

And he asked⁷⁵⁹² them of their welfare,⁷⁹⁶⁵ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Is your father¹ well,⁷⁹⁶⁵ the old man²²⁰⁵ of whom ye spake?⁵⁵⁹ Is he yet alive?²⁴¹⁶

And they answered,⁵⁵⁹ Thy servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ our father¹ is in good health,⁷⁹⁶⁵ he is yet alive.²⁴¹⁶ And they bowed down their heads,⁶⁹¹⁵ and made obeisance.⁷⁸¹²

And he lifted up⁵³⁷⁵ his eyes,⁵⁸⁶⁹ and saw⁷²⁰⁰ his brother²⁵¹ Benjamin,¹¹⁴⁴ his mother's⁵¹⁷ son,¹¹²¹ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Is this your younger⁶⁹⁹⁶ brother,²⁵¹ of whom ye spake⁵⁵⁹ unto me? And he said,⁵⁵⁹ Elohim⁴³⁰ be gracious²⁶⁰³ unto thee, my son.¹¹²¹

And Joseph³¹³⁰ made haste;⁴¹¹⁶ for his bowels⁷³⁵⁶ did yearn³⁶⁴⁸ upon his brother:²⁵¹ and he sought¹²⁴⁵ where to weep;¹⁰⁵⁸ and he entered⁹³⁵ into his chamber,²³¹⁵ and wept¹⁰⁵⁸ there.

And he washed⁷³⁶⁴ his face,⁶⁴⁴⁰ and went out,³³¹⁸ and refrained⁶⁶² himself, and said,⁵⁵⁹ Set on⁷⁷⁶⁰ bread.³⁸⁹⁹

And they set on⁷⁷⁶⁰ for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians,⁴⁷¹³ which did eat³⁹⁸ with him, by themselves: because the Egyptians⁴⁷¹³ might³²⁰¹ not eat³⁹⁸ bread³⁸⁹⁹ with the Hebrews;⁵⁶⁸⁰ for that is an abomination⁸⁴⁴¹ unto the Egyptians.⁴⁷¹⁴

And they sat³⁴²⁷ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ him, the firstborn¹⁰⁶⁰ according to his birthright,¹⁰⁶² and the youngest⁶⁸¹⁰ according to his youth:⁶⁸¹² and the men⁵⁸² marvelled⁸⁵³⁹ one³⁷⁶ at another.⁷⁴⁵³

And he took⁵³⁷⁵ and sent messes⁴⁸⁶⁴ unto them from before⁶⁴⁴⁰ him: but Benjamin's¹¹⁴⁴ mess⁴⁸⁶⁴ was five²⁵⁶⁸ times³⁰²⁷ so much⁷²³⁵ as⁴⁸⁶⁴ any of theirs. And they drank,⁸³⁵⁴ and were merry⁷⁹³⁷ with him.
