God forbid that thy servants should do according to this thing: 22 And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die. 23 And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more. 24 And it came to pass, when we came up unto thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord. 25 And our father said, Go again, and buy us a little food. 26 And we said, We cannot go down: 8 Behold, the money which we found in if our youngest brother be with us, then our sacks' mouths, we brought again unto will we go down; for we may not see the thee out of the land of Canaan: how then man's face, except our youngest brother should we steal out of thy lord's house sil- be with us. ver or gold? 27 And thy servant my father said unto 9 With whomsoever of thy servants it us, Ye know that my wife bare me two be found, both let him die, and we also sons: will be my lord's bond-men. 10 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. 11 Then they speedily took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack. 12 And he searched, and began at the eldest, and left at the youngest: and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack. 13 Then they rent their clothes, and laded every man his ass, and returned to the city. 14 And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph's house, (for he was yet there :) and they fell before him on the ground. I 28 And the one went out from me, and said, Surely he is torn in pieces; and I saw him not since : 29 And if ye take this also from me, and mischief befall him, ye shall bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave. 30 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;) 31 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. 32 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. 15 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? 33 Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy 16 And Judah said, What shall we say servant abide instead of the lad a bondunto my lord? what shall we speak? or man to my lord; and let the lad go up how shall we clear ourselves?

AND Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beer-sheba, and offered sacrifices unto the God of his father Isaac. 2 And God spake unto Israel in the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob! and he said, Here am I. 3 And he said, I am God, the God of thy father: fear not to go down into Egypt; for I will there make of thee a great nation: 4 I will go down with thee into Egypt; and I will also surely bring thee up again: and Joseph shall put his hand upon thine eyes. 5 And Jacob rose up from Beer-sheba: and the sons of Israel carried Jacob their father, and their little ones, and their wives, in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him. 17 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Say 6 And they took their cattle, and their unto thy brethren, This do ye; lade your goods which they had gotten in the land beasts, and go, get you unto the land of Ca- of Canaan, and came into Egypt, Jacob and all his seed with him; naan; 18 And take your father, and your house- 7 His sons, and his sons' sons with him, holds, and come unto me and I will give his daughters, and his sons' daughters, and you the good of the land of Egypt, and ye all his seed brought he with him into Egypt. shall eat the fat of the land. 8 T And these are the names of the chil 19 Now thou art commanded, this do dren of Israel, which came into Egypt, Jaye, take you wagons out of the land of cob and his sons: Reuben, Jacob's firstEgypt for your little ones, and for your wives, and bring your father, and come. 20 Also regard not your stuff: for the good of all the land of Egypt is yours. 21 And the children of Israel did so and Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the way. 22 To all of them he gave each man changes of raiment but to Benjamin he born. 9 And the sons of Reuben; Hanoch, and Phallu, and Hezron, and Carmi. 10 ¶ And the sons of Simeon; Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanitish woman. 11 ¶ And the sons of Levi; Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. 12 T And the sons of Judah; Er, and |
