Genesis 42

1 And he saw Jacob that there [was] grain in Egypt and he said Jacob to sons his why? are you looking at one another.

Now Jacob learned that there was grain in Egypt, so Jacob said to his sons, "Why do you look at one another?"

2 And he said here! I have heard that there [is] grain in Egypt go down there towards and buy grain for us from there so we may live and not we will die.

He said, "Look, I have heard that there is grain in Egypt. Go down there and buy some for us from there, so that we may live and not die."

3 And they went down [the] brothers of Joseph ten to buy grain grain from Egypt.

So Joseph's ten brothers went down to buy grain from Egypt.

4 And Benjamin [the] brother of Joseph not he sent Jacob with brothers his for he said lest it should happen to him harm.

But Jacob did not send Joseph's brother Benjamin with his brothers, for he said, "Some harm might happen to him."

5 And they came [the] sons of Israel to buy grain in among those coming for it was the famine in [the] land of Canaan.

So the sons of Israel went to buy among the other travelers, for the famine was in the land of Canaan.

6 And Joseph he [was] the ruler over the land he [was] the [one who] sold grain to all [the] people of the land and they came [the] brothers of Joseph and they bowed down to him face [the] ground towards.

Now Joseph was the ruler over the country, and it was he who sold to all the people of the land. Joseph's brothers came and bowed themselves down to him with their faces to the ground.

7 And he saw Joseph brothers his and he recognized them and he acted as a stranger to them and he spoke with them harsh and he said to them from where? have you come and they said from [the] land of Canaan to buy food.

Joseph saw his brothers, and he recognized them, but he acted like he did not know them, and spoke harshly with them. And he said to them, "Where do you come from?" And they said, "From the land of Canaan to buy food."

8 And he recognized Joseph brothers his and they not they recognized him.

So Joseph recognized his brothers, but they did not recognize him.

9 And he remembered Joseph the dreams which he had dreamed of them and he said to them [are] spies you to see [the] nakedness of the land you have come.

Then Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed about them, and said to them, "You are spies. You have come to look for the vulnerabilities of the country."

10 And they said to him no O lord my and servants your they have come to buy food.

But they said to him, "No, my lord, but your servants have come to buy food.

11 All of us [are] sons of a man one we [are] honest we not they are servants your spies.

We are all sons of one man. We are honest men. Your servants are not spies."

12 And he said to them In-deed [the] nakedness of the land you have come to see.

But he said to them, "No, but you have come to look for the vulnerabilities of the country."

13 And they said [are] two [plus] ten servants your brothers - we sons of a man one in [the] land of Canaan and there! the young [brother] [is] with father our this day and the one not [is] he.

But they said, "We, your servants, are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and look, the youngest is now with our father, and one is no more."

14 And he said to them Joseph it [is that] which I said to you saying [are] spies you.

But Joseph said to them, "It is as I said to you, saying, 'You are spies.'

15 By this you will be tested [by] [the] life of Pharaoh if you will go out from here that except when comes brother your young here.

This is how you will be tested. By the life of Pharaoh, you will not leave from here until your youngest brother comes here.

16 Send of yourselves one so he may fetch brother your and you be imprisoned so they may be tested words your ¿ [is] truth with you and if not [by] [the] life of Pharaoh for [are] spies you.

Send one of you, and let him get your brother, and you will stay in prison, so that your words can be tested, whether there is truth in you. Or else, by the life of Pharaoh, surely you are spies."

17 And he removed them to custody three days.

So he put all of them together in prison for three days.

18 And he said to them Joseph on the day third this do and live God I [am] fearing.

Then Joseph said to them the third day, "Do what I say, and live, for I fear God.

19 If [are] honest you brother your one let him be imprisoned in [the] house of custody your and you go take [the] grain of [the] hunger of households your.

If you are honest, then let one of your brothers remain confined in your prison; but you go and carry grain for the hunger of your households.

20 And brother your young you will bring to me so they may be verified words your and not you will die and they did so.

But bring your youngest brother to me so that your words will be verified, and you won't die." To this they agreed.

21 And they said each to brother his indeed [are] guilty - we on brother our who we saw [the] distress of self his when sought favor he to us and not we listened there-fore it has come to us the distress this.

Then they said to one another, "We are certainly guilty concerning our brother, because we saw how distressed he was when he pleaded with us, and we wouldn't listen. Therefore this distress has come upon us."

22 And he answered Reuben them saying ¿ not did I say to you - saying may not you sin against the boy and not you listened and also blood his here! [is] being required.

Reuben answered them, saying, "Did I not tell you, saying, 'Do not sin against the boy,' but you wouldn't listen? Therefore, look, now comes a reckoning for his blood."

23 And they not they knew that [was] hearing Joseph for the interpreter [was] between them.

Now they did not know that Joseph could understand them, since he was speaking through an interpreter.

24 And he turned away from with them and he wept and he returned to them and he spoke to them and he took from with them Simeon and he bound him to eyes their.

He stepped away from them and wept. Then he returned to them and talked with them. Then he took Simeon from them and bound him in front of them.

25 And he commanded Joseph and people filled vessels their grain and to return silver their each to sack his and to give to them provision[s] for the journey and someone did for them thus.

Then Joseph gave orders to fill their bags with grain, and to restore every man's silver into his sack, and to give them food for the journey. And it was done for them.

26 And they lifted grain their on donkeys their and they went from there.

They loaded their donkeys with their grain, and departed from there.

27 And he opened the one sack his to give fodder to donkey his at the lodging place and he saw silver his and there! it [was] in [the] mouth of sack his.

As one of them opened his sack to give his donkey food at the lodging place, he saw his silver. Look, it was in the mouth of his sack.

28 And he said to brothers his it has been returned silver my and also here! in sack my and it went out heart their and they trembled each to brother his saying what? this has he done God to us.

He said to his brothers, "My silver has been returned. Look, it is in my sack." And they were dismayed, and they turned trembling to one another, saying, "What is this that God has done to us?"

29 And they came to Jacob father their [the] land of towards Canaan and they told to him all the [things which] had happened to them saying.

Then they returned to their father Jacob to the land of Canaan, and told him all that had happened to them, saying,

30 He spoke the man [the] lord of the land with us harsh and he made us like [those who] spy out the land.

"The man, the lord of the country, spoke harshly to us, and he put us in custody as spies of the country.

31 And we said to him [are] honest we not we are spies.

But we said to him, 'We are honest men. We are not spies.

32 [are] two [plus] Ten we brothers sons of father our the one not [is] he and the young [brother] this day [is] with father our in [the] land of Canaan.

We are twelve brothers, sons of our father; one is no more, and the youngest is now with our father in the land of Canaan.'

33 And he said to us the man [the] lord of the land by this I will know that [are] honest you brother your one leave with me and [the] hunger of households your take and go.

The man, the lord of the country, said to us, 'By this I will know that you are honest men: leave one of your brothers with me, and take grain for the hunger of your households, and go your way.

34 And bring brother your young to me so let me know that not [are] spies you that [are] honest you brother your I will give to you and the land you will go about in.

Bring your youngest brother to me. Then I will know that you are not spies, but that you are honest men. So I will deliver your brother to you, and you may travel in the land.'"

35 And it was they [were] emptying sacks their and there! each man [the] bag of silver his [was] in sack his and they saw [the] bags of silver their they and father their and they were afraid.

Then it happened as they emptied their sacks, that look, every man's bag of silver was in his sack. When they and their father saw their bags of silver, they were afraid.

36 And he said to them Jacob father their me you are making childless Joseph not [is] he and Simeon not [is] he and Benjamin you will take on me they are all of them.

Then their father Jacob said to them, "You have deprived me of my children. Joseph is no more, Simeon is no more, and you want to take Benjamin away. All this has come against me."

37 And he said Reuben to father his saying two of sons my you will kill if not I will bring him to you put! him on hand my and I I will bring back him to you.

Reuben spoke to his father, saying, "Kill my two sons if I do not bring him to you. Put him in my care, and I will bring him back to you."

38 And he said not he will go down son my with you for brother his he has died and he to only him [is] remaining and it will happen to him harm on the journey which you will go on it and you will cause to go down gray hair my in sorrow Sheol towards. (Sheol h7585)

But he said, "My son will not go down with you, for his brother is dead, and he alone is left. If harm should happen to him on the journey you are taking, then you will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol." (Sheol h7585)
