@ Now when
Jacob
saw
that there
was
corn
in
Egypt

Jacob
said
unto his
sons
, Why do ye
look
one upon another?
strkjv@Genesis:42:2
@ And he
said
, Behold, I have
heard
that there
is
corn
in
Egypt
: get you
down
thither, and
buy
for us from thence; that we may
live
, and not
die

strkjv@Genesis:42:3
@ And
Josephs
ten
brethren
went
down
to
buy
corn
in
Egypt

Benjamin
,
Josephs
brother

Jacob
sent
not with his

said

mischief
befall
him

strkjv@Genesis:42:5

came
to
buy
corn

Joseph
was the

to all the

Josephs
brethren
came

down
themselves before him with their
faces
to the
earth

strkjv@Genesis:42:7
@ And
Joseph
saw
his

knew
them, but made himself
strange
unto them, and
spake
roughly
unto them; and he
said
unto them,
Whence
come
ye? And they
said
, From the
land
of
Canaan
to
buy
food
.
strkjv@Genesis:42:8
@ And
Joseph
knew
his

not him.
strkjv@Genesis:42:9

remembered
the
dreams

said
unto them, Ye are
spies

see
the
nakedness

land
ye are
come
.
strkjv@Genesis:42:10
@ And they
said
unto him, Nay, my

food
are thy

come

strkjv@Genesis:42:11
@
We

one

twelve

sons
of
one
man
in the
land

Canaan
K@; and, behold, the
youngest
is this
day
with our
father
, and
one
is not.
strkjv@Genesis:42:14
@ And
Joseph
said
unto them, That is it that I
spake
unto you,
saying
, Ye are
spies
:
strkjv@Genesis:42:15
@
Hereby
ye shall be
proved
: By the
life
of
Pharaoh
ye shall not go
forth
hence, except your
youngest
brother
come
hither.
strkjv@Genesis:42:16
@
Send
one
of you, and let him
fetch
your
brother
, and ye shall be kept in
prison
, that your
words
may be
proved
, whether there be any
truth
in
you: or
else
by the
life
of
Pharaoh
surely ye are
spies
.
strkjv@Genesis:42:17
@ And he put them all
together
into
ward
three
days

strkjv@Genesis:42:18
@ And
Joseph
said
unto them the
third
day
, This
do
, and
live
; for I
fear
God
:
strkjv@Genesis:42:19
@ If ye be
true
men, let
one
of your
brethren
be
bound
in the
house

prison

go
ye,
carry
corn
for the
famine
of your
houses
:
strkjv@Genesis:42:20
@ But
bring
your
youngest
brother
unto me; so shall your
words
be
verified

die
. And they
did
so.
strkjv@Genesis:42:21
@ And they
said
one
to

, We are
verily
guilty
concerning our
brother
, in
that
we
saw
the
anguish
of his
soul
, when he
besought
us, and we would not
hear
; therefore is this
distress
come
upon us.
strkjv@Genesis:42:22
@ And
Reuben
answered
them,
saying
, Spake
I
not unto you,
saying
, Do not
sin
against the
child
; and ye would not
hear
? therefore, behold, also his
blood
is
required
.
strkjv@Genesis:42:23
@ And they
knew
not that
Joseph
understood
them; for he spake unto them by an
interpreter

about
from them, and
wept
; and returned to them
again
, and
communed
with them, and
took
from them
Simeon
, and
bound
him before their
eyes
