gltv - Genesis:42-45

gltv@Genesis:42:1 @ And Jacob saw that grain was in Egypt. And Jacob said to his sons, Why do you look at each other?

gltv@Genesis:42:2 @ And he said, Behold! I have heard grain is in Egypt. Go down there and buy for us from there, that we may live and not die.

gltv@Genesis:42:3 @ And Joseph's ten brothers went down to buy grain from Egypt.

gltv@Genesis:42:4 @ And Jacob did not send Benjamin, Joseph's brother, with his brothers, for he said, Lest harm happen to him.

gltv@Genesis:42:5 @ And among those coming, the sons of Israel came to buy. For the famine was in land of Canaan.

gltv@Genesis:42:6 @ And Joseph was the potentate over the land, he selling to all the people of the earth. And Joseph's brothers came in and bowed to him, face down to the earth.

gltv@Genesis:42:7 @ And Joseph saw his brothers and recognized them; but he remained a stranger to them and spoke harsh things to them, and said to them, From where have you come? And they said, From the land of Canaan to buy food.

gltv@Genesis:42:8 @ And Joseph recognized his brothers, but they did not recognize him.

gltv@Genesis:42:9 @ And Joseph remembered the dreams which he had dreamed about them. And he said to them, You are spies! You have come in to see the bareness of the land.

gltv@Genesis:42:10 @ And they said to him, No, my lord, but your servants have come to buy food.

gltv@Genesis:42:11 @ We are all of us sons of one man; we are honest; your servants are not spies.

gltv@Genesis:42:12 @ And he said to them, No, but you have come to see the bareness of the land.

gltv@Genesis:42:13 @ And they said, Your servants are twelve brothers; we are sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and, lo, the youngest is with our father today; and one is not.

gltv@Genesis:42:14 @ And Joseph said to them, This is that which I have spoken to you, saying, You are spies!

gltv@Genesis:42:15 @ By this you shall be tested. As Pharaoh lives you shall not leave here except your younger brother come in here.

gltv@Genesis:42:16 @ Send one of you and let him bring your brother; and you be bound, and let your words be proven, whether truth is with you. And if not, as Pharaoh lives, so you are spies.

gltv@Genesis:42:17 @ And he gathered them into custody three days.

gltv@Genesis:42:18 @ And on the third day Joseph said to them, Do this and live. I fear God.

gltv@Genesis:42:19 @ If you are honest, let one of your brothers be bound in your prison house, and you go bring grain for the famine of your houses.

gltv@Genesis:42:20 @ And you bring your youngest brother to me, and let your words be true, and you shall not die. And so they did.

gltv@Genesis:42:21 @ And they said each to his brother, We are truly guilty because of our brother whom we saw in distress of his soul, when he begged us, and we did not hear. So this pain has come to us.

gltv@Genesis:42:22 @ And Reuben replied to them, saying, Did I not speak to you, saying, Do not sin against the youth, and you did not listen? And, behold, his blood is also required.

gltv@Genesis:42:23 @ And they did not know that Joseph heard, for the interpreter was between them.

gltv@Genesis:42:24 @ And he turned away from them and wept, and returned to them and spoke to them. And he took Simeon from them and bound him before their eyes.

gltv@Genesis:42:25 @ And Joseph commanded, and they filled their vessels with grain and returned their silver, each into his sack, and gave to them food for the way; and he did so to them.

gltv@Genesis:42:26 @ And they lifted their grain on their asses and walked from there.

gltv@Genesis:42:27 @ And one opened his sack to give fodder to his ass in the camp, and he saw his silver. And, behold! It was in the mouth of his sack!

gltv@Genesis:42:28 @ And he said to his brothers, My silver has been put back, and also look in my sack. And their hearts went, and they were each terrified, saying to his brother, What is this God has done to us?

gltv@Genesis:42:29 @ And they came to their father Jacob to the land of Canaan. And they told him all that met them, saying,

gltv@Genesis:42:30 @ The man, the lord of the land, spoke harsh things to us and considered us as spies in the land.

gltv@Genesis:42:31 @ And we said to him, We are honest; we are not spies.

gltv@Genesis:42:32 @ We are twelve brothers, sons of our father; the one is not, and the youngest is with our father today in the land of Canaan.

gltv@Genesis:42:33 @ And the man, the lord of the land, said to us, By this I shall know that you are honest; leave your one brother with me, and take and go for the famine of your houses.

gltv@Genesis:42:34 @ And bring your youngest brother to me, and I may know that you are not spies, but you are honest. I will give your brother to you and you may travel in the land.

gltv@Genesis:42:35 @ And it happened. They were emptying their sacks, and, behold, each one's bundle of silver was in his sack; and they saw the bundles of their silver, and they were afraid.

gltv@Genesis:42:36 @ And their father Jacob said to them, You have bereaved me. Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and you will take Benjamin? All of these are against me.

gltv@Genesis:42:37 @ And Reuben spoke to his father, saying, You may kill my two sons if I do not bring him to you. Give him into my hand, and I will return him to you.

gltv@Genesis:42:38 @ And he said, My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he alone is left. And if harm should happen to him in the way in which you go, you would bring down my gray hair in sorrow to the grave.

gltv@Genesis:43:1 @ And the famine was severe in the land.

gltv@Genesis:43:2 @ And it happened, when they had finished eating the grain which they had brought from Egypt, their father said to them, Go back; buy a little food for us.

gltv@Genesis:43:3 @ And Judah spoke to him, saying, The man fiercely protested, saying to us, You shall not see my face unless your brother is with you.

gltv@Genesis:43:4 @ And if you are sending our brother with us, we will go down and buy food for you.

gltv@Genesis:43:5 @ And if you are not sending, we will not go; for the man said to us, You shall not see my face unless your brother is with you.

gltv@Genesis:43:6 @ And Israel said, Why did you do evil to me to tell the man you still had brother?

gltv@Genesis:43:7 @ And they said, The man keenly asked about us and about our kindred, saying, is our father still alive? Is there a brother to you? And we answered him according to these words. Could we know certainly that he would say, Bring down your brother?

gltv@Genesis:43:8 @ And Judah said to his father Israel, Send the youth with me, and let us rise up and go, and we may live and not die, both we, and you, and our little ones.

gltv@Genesis:43:9 @ I will be surety for him; you may require him from my hand. If I do not bring him to you and set him before you, I shall be a sinner against you all the days.

gltv@Genesis:43:10 @ if we had not delayed truly now we would have returned this twice.

gltv@Genesis:43:11 @ And their father Israel said to them, If it be so, then do this: take from the produce of the land in your vessels and bring down a present to the man, a little balm, and a little honey, spices, and myrrh, nuts and almonds.

gltv@Genesis:43:12 @ And take double silver in your hand, and the silver they put back in the mouth of your sacks, take back in your hand; perhaps it was an oversight.

gltv@Genesis:43:13 @ And take your brother and rise up; return to the man.

gltv@Genesis:43:14 @ And may God Almighty give mercy to you before the man; and may he send your other brother to you, and Benjamin. And I, if am bereaved, I am bereaved.

gltv@Genesis:43:15 @ And the men took this present, and they took double silver in their hand, and Benjamin. And they rose up and went down to Egypt and stood before Joseph.

gltv@Genesis:43:16 @ And Joseph saw Benjamin with them. And he said to the one over his house, Bring the men into the house and slaughter and prepare an animal; for the men shall eat with me at noon.

gltv@Genesis:43:17 @ And the man did as Joseph said. And the man brought the men into Joseph's house.

gltv@Genesis:43:18 @ And the men were afraid because they were brought into Joseph's house. And they said, Because of the silver that was returned in our sacks before, we are being brought in, to throw himself on us and to fall on us, and to take us and our asses for slaves.

gltv@Genesis:43:19 @ And they came near to the man who was over Joseph's house and spoke to him at the door of the house.

gltv@Genesis:43:20 @ And they said, Oh my lord, coming we came down to buy food.

gltv@Genesis:43:21 @ And it happened, when we came to the camp and opened our sacks, behold, the silver of each one was in the mouth of his sack; our silver in its weight. And we bring it back in our hand.

gltv@Genesis:43:22 @ And we have brought other silver in our hand to buy food. We do not know who put our silver in our sacks.

gltv@Genesis:43:23 @ And he said, Peace to you; do not fear; your God and the God of your father has given a treasure to you in your sacks; your silver came to me. And he brought Simeon out to them.

gltv@Genesis:43:24 @ And the man brought the men to Joseph's house. And he gave water, and they washed their feet. And he gave fodder for their asses.

gltv@Genesis:43:25 @ And they prepared the present for the coming of Joseph at noon. For they had heard that they would eat bread there.

gltv@Genesis:43:26 @ And Joseph came into the house. And they brought the present in their hand to him, into the house. And they bowed to him, to the earth.

gltv@Genesis:43:27 @ And he asked them of their welfare, and said, Is there peace to your father, the old man of whom you spoke? Is he still alive?

gltv@Genesis:43:28 @ And they said, Peace is to your servant, to our father; he still lives. And they fell down and bowed.

gltv@Genesis:43:29 @ And he raised his eyes and saw his brother Benjamin, the son of his mother. And he said, Is this your youngest brother of whom you spoke to me? And he said, May God bless you, my son.

gltv@Genesis:43:30 @ And Joseph hurried, for his emotions were deeply moved toward his brother. And he looked for a place to weep; and he came into the inner room and wept there.

gltv@Genesis:43:31 @ And he washed his face and controlled himself, and went out and said, Set out bread.

gltv@Genesis:43:32 @ And they set out for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians eating with him by themselves. For the Egyptians cannot eat bread with the Hebrews; for it is an abomination in Egypt.

gltv@Genesis:43:33 @ And they sat before him, the first born according to his birthright, and the younger according to his youth. And the men were astonished, each to his neighbor.

gltv@Genesis:43:34 @ And one carried portions from before him to them, and Benjamin's portion was greater than the portions of all of them, five hands. And they drank and were drunken with him.

gltv@Genesis:44:1 @ And he commanded the one over his house, saying, Fill the sacks of the men with food, as much as they are able to carry; and put the silver of each one in the mouth of his sack.

gltv@Genesis:44:2 @ And put my cup, the cup of silver, in the mouth of the sack of the youngest, and the silver for his grain. And he did according to Joseph's word, that which he spoke.

gltv@Genesis:44:3 @ At the morning light, the men were sent away, they and their asses.

gltv@Genesis:44:4 @ They had gone out from the city, not having gone far, and Joseph said to the one over his house, Rise up, pursue the men and overtake them, and say to them, Why have you repaid evil for good?

gltv@Genesis:44:5 @ Is this not that in which my lord is accustomed to drink, and he surely divines by it? You have done evil in what you have done.

gltv@Genesis:44:6 @ And he overtook them and spoke these words to them.

gltv@Genesis:44:7 @ And they said to him, Why should my lord speak according to these words? Far be it from your servants to do according to this word.

gltv@Genesis:44:8 @ Behold! The silver which we found in the mouth of our sacks, we returned to you from the land of Canaan. And how should we steal silver or gold from the house of your lord?

gltv@Genesis:44:9 @ With whomever it may be found, with him of your servants, he shall die; and we also will become slaves to my lord.

gltv@Genesis:44:10 @ And he said, Now also let it be according to your words; with whomever it is found with him, he shall become a slave to me, and you shall be innocent.

gltv@Genesis:44:11 @ And they hurried, and each one brought down his sack to the earth. And each one opened his sack.

gltv@Genesis:44:12 @ And he searched, with the oldest first, and with the youngest last, and the cup was found in the sack of Benjamin.

gltv@Genesis:44:13 @ And they tore their clothes; and they each one loaded his ass and returned to the city.

gltv@Genesis:44:14 @ And Judah and his brothers came to Joseph's house, and he was still there. And they fell before him to the earth.

gltv@Genesis:44:15 @ And Joseph said to them, What is this deed which you have done? Did you not know that a man like me would practice divination?

gltv@Genesis:44:16 @ And Judah said, What can we say to my lord? What can we speak, and in what can we justify ourselves? God has found out the iniquity of your servants; behold, we are slaves to my lord, both we and he in whose hand the cup was found.

gltv@Genesis:44:17 @ And he said, Far be it from me to do this. The man in whose hand the cup was found, he shall become a slave to me; and you go up in peace to your father.

gltv@Genesis:44:18 @ And Judah came near to him and said, O my lord, please let your servant speak a word in the ears of my lord, and let not your anger glow on your servant, for you are like Pharaoh.

gltv@Genesis:44:19 @ My lord asked his servants, saying, Is there a brother or a father to you?

gltv@Genesis:44:20 @ And we said to my lord, An aged father is to us, and a young child of his old age; and his brother is dead; and he alone is left of his mother; and his father loves him.

gltv@Genesis:44:21 @ And you said to your servants, Bring him down to me, and let me see him.

gltv@Genesis:44:22 @ And we said to my lord, The youth is not able to leave his father; and if he should leave his father, he will die.

gltv@Genesis:44:23 @ And you said to your servants, If your youngest brother does not come down with you, you shall not see my face any more

gltv@Genesis:44:24 @ And it happened, when we had gone up to your servant, my father, we told him the words of my lord.

gltv@Genesis:44:25 @ And our father said, Go back, buy a little food for us.

gltv@Genesis:44:26 @ And we said, We cannot go down. If our youngest brother is with us, we will go down. For we cannot see the face of the man if our youngest brother is not with us.

gltv@Genesis:44:27 @ And your servant, my father, said to us, You know that my wife bore two to me.

gltv@Genesis:44:28 @ And one went out from me. And I said, Indeed, he surely is torn in pieces; and I have not seen him until now.

gltv@Genesis:44:29 @ And if you take this one also from my face, and harm happen to him, you will bring my gray hair to the grave in sorrow.

gltv@Genesis:44:30 @ And now when I come to your servant, my father, and the youth is not with us and his soul being bound to his soul,

gltv@Genesis:44:31 @ it will be when he sees that the youth is not, he will die. And your servants will bring down the gray hair of your servant our father to the grave in sorrow.

gltv@Genesis:44:32 @ For your servant was surety for the youth with my father, saying, If I do not bring him to you, I shall be a sinner against my father all the days.

gltv@Genesis:44:33 @ And now please let your servant remain as a slave to my lord instead of the youth; and let the youth go up with his brothers.

gltv@Genesis:44:34 @ For how can I go to my father, and the youth not be with me, lest I look on the evil which will find my father?

gltv@Genesis:45:1 @ And Joseph was not able to control himself in regard to those standing beside him. And he called out, Cause every man to go out from me. And no man stood before him as Joseph was making himself known to his brothers.

gltv@Genesis:45:2 @ And he wept aloud; and the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard.

gltv@Genesis:45:3 @ And Joseph said to his brothers, I am Joseph. Is my father still alive? And his brothers were not able to answer him, for they trembled before him.

gltv@Genesis:45:4 @ And Joseph said to his brothers, Now come near to me And they came near. And he said, I am your brother Joseph, whom you sold into Egypt.

gltv@Genesis:45:5 @ And now do not be grieved, and let no anger be in your eyes because you sold me here for God sent me before you to save life.

gltv@Genesis:45:6 @ For the famine has been in the midst of the land for two years. And there are still five years in which no plowing and harvest will be.

gltv@Genesis:45:7 @ And God sent me before you to put a remnant in the land for you, and to keep alive for you a great deliverance.

gltv@Genesis:45:8 @ And now you did not send me here, but God. And He has placed me for a father to Pharaoh, and for a lord in all his house, and a ruler in all the land of Egypt.

gltv@Genesis:45:9 @ Hurry and go up to my father, and say to him, So says your son Joseph, God has placed me as a lord to all Egypt. Come down to me, do not delay.

gltv@Genesis:45:10 @ And you shall live in the land of Goshen, and you shall be near to me, you and your sons and sons of your sons, and your flocks, and your herds, and all you have.

gltv@Genesis:45:11 @ And I will nourish you there, for there are still five years of famine; lest you be made poor, you and your house and all which belong to you.

gltv@Genesis:45:12 @ And behold, your eyes and the eyes of my brother Benjamin see that my mouth is speaking to you.

gltv@Genesis:45:13 @ And you tell my father of all my honor in Egypt, and all that you have seen. And hurry and bring down my father here.

gltv@Genesis:45:14 @ And he fell on the neck of his brother Benjamin and wept, and Benjamin wept on his neck.

gltv@Genesis:45:15 @ And he kissed all his brothers, and wept on them. And afterwards his brothers spoke with him.

gltv@Genesis:45:16 @ And the report was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, The brothers of Joseph have come. And it was good in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of his servants.

gltv@Genesis:45:17 @ Pharaoh said to Joseph, Say to your brothers, Do this; load your animals and depart; go to the land of Canaan.

gltv@Genesis:45:18 @ And take your father, and your houses, and come to me. And I will give to you the good of the land of Egypt; and you shall eat the fat of the land.

gltv@Genesis:45:19 @ And you are commanded; you do this: Take for yourselves wagons from the land of Egypt, for your little ones, and for your wives. And take your father and come.

gltv@Genesis:45:20 @ And your eye, let it have no regard for your vessels, for the good of all the land of Egypt is yours.

gltv@Genesis:45:21 @ And the sons of Israel did so. And Joseph gave wagons to them according to the mouth of Pharaoh, and he gave provision to them for the way.

gltv@Genesis:45:22 @ He gave to all of them, to each one, changes of clothing. And he gave to Benjamin three hundred pieces of silver, and five changes of clothing.

gltv@Genesis:45:23 @ And to his father he sent this: ten asses bearing the good things of Egypt, and ten she-asses bearing grain, and bread, and food for his father for the way.

gltv@Genesis:45:24 @ And he sent his brothers away; and they went. And he said to them, Do not quarrel along the way.

gltv@Genesis:45:25 @ And they went up from Egypt and came into the land of Canaan, to their father Jacob.

gltv@Genesis:45:26 @ And they told him, saying, Joseph is still alive, and he is ruler in all the land of Egypt. And his heart froze up, for he did not believe them.

gltv@Genesis:45:27 @ And they spoke to him all Joseph's words which he had spoken to them. And he saw the wagons that Joseph had sent to carry him; and the spirit of their father Jacob revived.

gltv@Genesis:45:28 @ And Israel said, It is enough! My son Joseph is alive; I will go and see him before I die.

gltv@Genesis:46:1 @ And Israel and all belonging to him departed, and he came to Beersheba. And he sacrificed sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.
