5 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 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 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.

15 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 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 he did the man just as he said Joseph and he brought the man the men [the] house of towards Joseph.
18 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 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 us O lord my certainly we came down at the beginning to buy food.
21 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.
