1 And the famine was sore in the land.

And the famine [was] heavy in the land.

2 And it came to pass, when they had completely eaten up the provisions which they had brought out of Egypt, that their father said unto them, Go again, buy us a little food.

And it was just when they finished to eat the grain which they had brought from Egypt and he said to them father their go back buy for us a little of food.

3 And Judah said unto him, thus, The man did solemnly protest unto us, saying, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you.

And he said to him Judah saying certainly he warned us the man saying not you will see face my except brother your [is] with you.

4 If thou wilt send our brother with us, we will go down and buy thee food;

If there you [are] sending brother our with us we will go down and we will buy for you food.

5 But if thou sendest him not, we will not go down; for the man said unto us, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you.

And if not you [are] sending [him] not we will go down for the man he said to us not you will see face my except brother your [is] with you.

6 And Israel said, Wherefore have ye dealt so ill with me, as to tell the man that ye have yet another brother?

And he said Israel why? did you do harm to me by telling to the man ¿ still [belong] to you [does] a brother.

7 And they said, The man inquired particularly concerning us, and our kindred, saying, Is your father yet alive? have ye another brother? and we told him according to the tenor of these words: could we possibly know that he would say, Bring down your brother?

And they said carefully he asked the man of us and of kindred our saying ¿ still [is] father your living ¿ [does] there [belong] to you a brother and we told to him on [the] mouth of the words these ¿ really did we know that he will say bring down brother your.

8 And Judah said unto Israel his father, Send the lad with me, and we will arise and go; that we may live, and not die, both we, and thou, as also our little ones.

And he said Judah to Israel father his send! the young man with me so let us arise and we will go and we may live and not we will die both we as well as you as well as little one[s] our.

9 I will be surety for him; from my hand shalt thou require him: if I bring him not unto thee, and set him before thee, then shall I have sinned against thee all the days.

I I will stand surety for him from hand my you will require him if not I have brought him to you and I will set him before you and I will be culpable to you all the days.

10 For, if we had not lingered, surely we had now returned the second time.

For if not we had delayed for now we have returned this two times.

11 And their father Israel said unto them, If it must be so now, do this: take of the best products of the land in your vessels, and carry down to the man a present, a little balm, and a little honey, spices and lotus, pistachio-nuts and almonds;

And he said to them Israel father their if so - then this do take some of [the] best products of the land in vessels your and take down to the man a gift a little of balm and a little of honey spice and myrrh pistachio nuts and almonds.

12 And twofold money take in your hand; and the money that was put back in the mouth of your sacks, you must carry back in your hand; peradventure it was an oversight;

And silver double take in hand your and the silver that was returned in [the] mouth of sacks your you will take back in hand your perhaps [was] a mistake it.

13 Also your brother take along, and arise, go again unto the man.

And brother your take and arise go back to the man.

14 And may God the Almighty give you mercy before the man, that he may send away to you your other brother, and Benjamin. And I, if I am to be bereaved, let me be bereaved.

And God Almighty may he give to you compassion before the man and he will let go to you brother your other and Benjamin and I just when I have been bereaved I have been bereaved.

15 And the men took that present; and twofold money they took in their hand, as also Benjamin; and they rose up, and went down to Egypt, and stood before Joseph.

And they took the men the gift this and double money they took in hand their and Benjamin and they arose and they went down Egypt and they stood before Joseph.

16 And when Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the superintendent of his house, Bring these men into the house, and slay, and make ready; for with me shall these men dine at noon.

And he saw Joseph with them Benjamin and he said to [the one] who [was] over household his bring the men the house towards and slaughter a slaughter and prepare [it] for with me they will eat the men at noon.

17 And the man did as Joseph had said; and the man brought the men into Joseph's house.

And he did the man just as he said Joseph and he brought the man the men [the] house of towards Joseph.

18 And the men were afraid, because they were brought into Joseph's house: and they said, Because of the money that came back in our sacks at the first time are we brought in; that he may seek occasion against us, and fall upon us, and take us for bondmen, together with our asses.

And they were afraid the men that they were brought [the] house of Joseph and they said on [the] matter of the silver which returned in sacks our at the beginning we [are] being brought to roll himself on us and to throw himself on us and to take us to slaves and donkeys our.

19 And they came near to the man who was appointed over Joseph's house, and they spoke with him at the door of the house.

And they approached the man who [was] over [the] household of Joseph and they spoke to him [the] entrance of the house.

20 And they said, Pardon, my lord, we came down at the first time to buy food:

And they said pardon us O lord my certainly we came down at the beginning to buy food.

21 And it came to pass, when we came to the inn, that we opened our sacks, and, behold, every man's money was in the mouth of his sack, our money in its full weight; and we have brought it back in our hand.

And it was that we came to the lodging place and we opened! sacks our and there! [the] silver of each man [was] in [the] mouth of sack his silver our in weight its and we have brought back it in hand our.

22 And other money have we brought down in our hand to buy food; we know not who hath put our money in our sacks.

And silver other we have brought down in hand our to buy food not we know who? did he put silver our in sacks our.

23 And he said, Peace be to you, fear not; your God, and the God of your father, hath given you a treasure in your sacks; your money hath come to me. And he brought Simeon out unto them.

And he said peace [be] to you may not you fear God your and [the] God of father your he gave to you treasure in sacks your silver your it came to me and he brought out to them Simeon.

24 And the man brought the men into Joseph's house; and he gave them water, and they washed their feet, and he gave provender to their asses.

And he brought the man the men [the] house of towards Joseph and he gave water and they washed feet their and he gave fodder to donkeys their.

25 And they made ready the present before Joseph came home at noon; for they had heard that they should eat bread there.

And they prepared the gift until came Joseph at noon for they had heard that there they will eat food.

26 And when Joseph came home, they brought him the present which was in their hand into the house, and bowed themselves to him to the earth.

And he came Joseph the house towards and they brought to him the gift which [was] in hand their the house towards and they bowed down to him [the] ground towards.

27 And he asked them after their welfare, and said, Is your old father well, of whom ye spoke? is he yet alive?

And he asked of them to welfare and he said ¿ health [is] father your old whom you spoke ¿ [is] still he alive.

28 And they answered, Thy servant, our father, is in good health, he is yet alive. And they bowed down their heads, and prostrated themselves.

And they said health [belongs] to servant your to father our still he [is] alive and they bowed low (and they bowed down. *Q(K)*)

29 And he lifted up his eyes, and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother's son, and said, Is this your youngest brother, of whom ye spoke unto me? And he said, God be gracious unto thee, my son.

And he lifted up eyes his and he saw Benjamin brother his [the] son of mother his and he said ¿ [is] this brother your young whom you spoke to me and he said God may he show favor to you O son my.

30 And Joseph hastened away, for his affection toward his brother became enkindled, and he sought to weep; and he entered into his chamber and wept there.

And he hurried Joseph for they grew warm compassion his to brother his and he sought to weep and he went the inner room towards and he wept there.

31 And he washed his face, and came out, and refrained himself, and said, Set on the bread.

And he washed face his and he came out and he restrained himself and he said set food.

32 And they set on for him by himself, and for them by themselves; and for the Egyptians, who did eat with him, by themselves; because the Egyptians may not eat bread with the Hebrews; for that is an abomination unto the Egyptians.

And they set for him to only him and to them to alone them and for the Egyptians who were eating with him to alone them for not they were able! the Egyptians to eat with the Hebrews food for [is] an abomination it to Egypt.

33 And they sat before him, the first-born according to his prior birth, and the youngest according to his youth; and the men marveled one at the other.

And they sat down before him the firstborn according to birthright his and the young [brother] according to youth his and they looked in astonishment the men each to neighbor his.

34 And he sent portions unto them from before him; but Benjamin's portion exceeded the portions of all of them fivefold. And they drank, and were merry with him.

And someone took portions from with face his to them and it was great [the] portion of Benjamin more than [the] portions of all of them five hands and they drank and they became drunk with him.
