jub - Genesis:42-45

jub@Genesis:42:1 @ Now when Jacob saw that there was food in Egypt, Jacob said unto his sons, Why are ye looking upon one another?

jub@Genesis:42:2 @ And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is food in Egypt; go down there and buy for us from there that we may live, and not die.

jub@Genesis:42:3 @ And Joseph's ten brethren went down to buy wheat in Egypt.

jub@Genesis:42:4 @ But Jacob did not send Benjamin, Joseph's brother, with his brethren; for he said, Lest peradventure disaster befall him.

jub@Genesis:42:5 @ And the sons of Israel came to buy among those that came, for the famine was in the land of Canaan.

jub@Genesis:42:6 @ And Joseph [was] the lord over the land, [and] he [it was] that sold [the wheat] to all the people of the land; and Joseph's brethren came and bowed down themselves before him [with] their faces to the earth.

jub@Genesis:42:7 @ And when Joseph saw his brethren, he knew them, but made himself strange unto them and spoke roughly unto them; and he said unto them, Where have you come from? And they said, From the land of Canaan to buy food.

jub@Genesis:42:8 @ And Joseph knew his brethren but they did not know him.

jub@Genesis:42:9 @ Then Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed of them and said unto them, Ye [are] spies; to see the nakedness of the land ye are come.

jub@Genesis:42:10 @ And they said unto him, No, my lord, but to buy food are thy servants come.

jub@Genesis:42:11 @ We [are] all one man's sons; we are men of [the] truth, thy servants have never been spies.

jub@Genesis:42:12 @ And he said unto them, No, but to see the nakedness of the land ye are come.

jub@Genesis:42:13 @ And they said, Thy servants [are] twelve brethren, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and, behold, the youngest [is] this day with our father, and one [is] not.

jub@Genesis:42:14 @ And Joseph said unto them, That [is it] that [which] I spoke unto you, saying, Ye [are] spies:

jub@Genesis:42:15 @ Hereby ye shall be proved: By the life of Pharaoh ye shall not go forth from here unless your youngest brother comes here.

jub@Genesis:42:16 @ Send one of you and let him bring your brother, and ye shall be kept in prison that your words may be proved, whether [there is any] truth in you; or else by the life of Pharaoh surely ye [are] spies.

jub@Genesis:42:17 @ And he put them all together into prison for three days.

jub@Genesis:42:18 @ And Joseph said unto them the third day, Do this and live, [for] I fear God.

jub@Genesis:42:19 @ If ye [are] men of [the] truth, let one of your brethren be bound in the house of your prison; go ye, carry food for the famine of your houses

jub@Genesis:42:20 @ but bring your youngest brother unto me, so shall your words be verified, and ye shall not die. And they did so.

jub@Genesis:42:21 @ And they said one to another, We [are] truly 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.

jub@Genesis:42:22 @ Then Reuben answered them, saying, Did I not speak unto you, saying, Do not sin against the young man, and ye would not hear? Therefore, behold, his blood is also required.

jub@Genesis:42:23 @ And they did not know that Joseph understood [them], for he spoke unto them by an interpreter.

jub@Genesis:42:24 @ And he turned himself about from them and wept and returned to them again and spoke with them and took Simeon from them and bound him before their eyes.

jub@Genesis:42:25 @ Then Joseph commanded to fill their sacks with wheat and to restore each man's money into his sack and to give them provisions for the way; and thus it was done unto them.

jub@Genesis:42:26 @ And they laded their asses with the wheat and departed from there.

jub@Genesis:42:27 @ And as one of them opened his sack to give his ass fodder in the inn, he saw his money; for, behold, it [was] in his sack's mouth.

jub@Genesis:42:28 @ And he said unto his brethren, My money is restored; and, behold, [it is] even in my sack. And their heart failed [them], and they were afraid, saying one to another, What [is] this [that] God has done unto us?

jub@Genesis:42:29 @ And they came unto Jacob, their father, unto the land of Canaan and told him all that had befallen them, saying,

jub@Genesis:42:30 @ The man, [who is] the lord of the land, spoke roughly to us and took us for spies of the country.

jub@Genesis:42:31 @ And we said unto him, We [are] men of [the] truth; we have never been spies.

jub@Genesis:42:32 @ We [are] twelve brethren, sons of our father; one [is] not, and the youngest [is] this day with our father in the land of Canaan.

jub@Genesis:42:33 @ And the man, the lord of the country, said unto us, Hereby I shall know that ye [are] men of [the] truth; leave one of your brethren [here] with me and take [food for] the famine of your households and go

jub@Genesis:42:34 @ and bring your youngest brother unto me; then I shall know that ye [are] not spies, but [that] ye [are] men of [the] truth; [thus] I will deliver you your brother, and ye shall trade in the land.

jub@Genesis:42:35 @ And it came to pass as they emptied their sacks, that, behold, each man's bundle of money [was] in his sack; and when [both] they and their father saw the bundles of money, they were afraid.

jub@Genesis:42:36 @ And Jacob, their father, said unto them, Ye have bereaved me [of my sons]: Joseph [is] not, and Simeon [is] not, and ye will take Benjamin [away]; all these things are upon me.

jub@Genesis:42:37 @ And Reuben spoke unto his father, saying, Slay my two sons, if I do not bring him to thee; deliver him into my hand, and I will bring him to thee again.

jub@Genesis:42:38 @ And he said, My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he alone is left; if [some] disaster should befall him by the way in which ye go, then shall ye bring my gray hairs with sorrow down to Sheol.:

jub@Genesis:43:1 @ And the famine [was] sore in the land.

jub@Genesis:43:2 @ And it came to pass when they had eaten up the wheat which they had brought out of Egypt, their father said unto them, Go again, buy us a little food.

jub@Genesis:43:3 @ And Judah spoke unto him, saying, The man did solemnly protest unto us, saying, Ye shall not see my face unless your brother [is] with you.

jub@Genesis:43:4 @ If thou wilt send our brother with us, we will go down and buy thee food:

jub@Genesis:43:5 @ But if thou wilt not send [him], we will not go down; for the man said unto us, Ye shall not see my face unless your brother [is] with you.

jub@Genesis:43:6 @ And Israel said, Why did ye such evil unto me [as] to tell the man that ye had another brother?

jub@Genesis:43:7 @ And they said, The man asked us expressly of our state and of 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 certainly know that he would say, Bring your brother down?

jub@Genesis:43:8 @ Then 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 [and] also our little ones.

jub@Genesis:43:9 @ I will be surety for him; of my hand shalt thou require him; if I do not bring him unto thee and set him before thee, then let me bear the sin for ever;

jub@Genesis:43:10 @ for if we had not lingered, surely by now we would have returned this second time.

jub@Genesis:43:11 @ Then their father Israel answered them, If [it must be] so now, do this: take of the best fruits of the land in your vessels and take the man a present, a little balm, and a little honey, aromas, and myrrh, nuts, and almonds.

jub@Genesis:43:12 @ And take double money in your hands and the money that was brought again in the mouth of your sacks; carry [it] again in your hand; peradventure it [was] an oversight.

jub@Genesis:43:13 @ Take also your brother, and arise, go again unto the man.

jub@Genesis:43:14 @ And God Almighty give you mercy before the man, that he may let your other brother go, and Benjamin. If I be bereaved [of my sons], I am bereaved.

jub@Genesis:43:15 @ Then the men took the present, and they took double money in their hand, and Benjamin, and rose up and went down to Egypt and stood before Joseph.

jub@Genesis:43:16 @ And when Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the ruler of his house, Bring [these] men home and slay an animal and make ready; for [these] men shall dine with me at noon.

jub@Genesis:43:17 @ And the man did as Joseph bade, and the man brought the men into Joseph's house.

jub@Genesis:43:18 @ And the men were afraid because they were brought into Joseph's house, and they said, Because of the money that was returned in our sacks the first time we are brought in here that he may seek occasion against us and fall upon us and take us for bondmen and our asses.

jub@Genesis:43:19 @ And they came near to the steward of Joseph's house, and they spoke with him at the door of the house

jub@Genesis:43:20 @ and said, my lord, we came indeed down the first time to buy food;

jub@Genesis:43:21 @ and it came to pass when we came to the inn, that we opened our sacks, and, behold, each man's money [was] in the mouth of his sack, our money in full weight; and we have brought it again in our hand.

jub@Genesis:43:22 @ And we brought down other money in our hands to buy food; we cannot tell who put our money in our sacks.

jub@Genesis:43:23 @ And he said, Peace [be] to you, fear not; your God, and the God of your father, has given you treasure in your sacks; I had your money. And he brought Simeon out unto them.

jub@Genesis:43:24 @ And the man brought the men into Joseph's house and gave [them] water, and they washed their feet, and he gave their asses fodder.

jub@Genesis:43:25 @ And they made ready the present [waiting] until Joseph came at noon, for they heard that they should eat bread there.

jub@Genesis:43:26 @ And when Joseph came home, they brought him the present which [they had] in their hand in the house and bowed themselves to him to the earth.

jub@Genesis:43:27 @ And he asked them of [their] welfare and said, [Is] your father well, the old man of whom ye spoke? [Is] he yet alive?

jub@Genesis:43:28 @ And they answered, Thy servant our father [is] in good health, he [is] yet alive. And they bowed down their heads and made obeisance.

jub@Genesis:43:29 @ And he lifted up his eyes and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother's son, and said, [Is] this your younger brother, of whom ye spoke unto me? And he said, God be merciful unto thee, my son.

jub@Genesis:43:30 @ Then Joseph made haste; for his bowels did yearn upon his brother; and he sought [where] to weep, and he entered into [his] chamber and wept there.

jub@Genesis:43:31 @ And he washed his face and went out and refrained himself and said, Serve bread.

jub@Genesis:43:32 @ And they served for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians, who ate with him, by themselves; because the Egyptians may not eat bread with the Hebrews, for that [is] an abomination unto the Egyptians.

jub@Genesis:43:33 @ And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright and the youngest according to his youth; and the men marvelled one at another.

jub@Genesis:43:34 @ And he took [and sent] portions unto them from before him; but Benjamin's portion was five times as much as any of theirs. And they drank, and were drunk with him.:

jub@Genesis:44:1 @ And he commanded the steward of his house, saying, Fill these men's sacks [with] food, as much as they can carry, and put every man's money in his sack's mouth;

jub@Genesis:44:2 @ and put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack's mouth of the youngest, with the money of his wheat. And he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken.

jub@Genesis:44:3 @ As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their asses.

jub@Genesis:44:4 @ [And] when they were gone out of the city, [and] not [yet] far off, Joseph said unto his steward, Rise up, follow after those men; and when thou dost overtake them, say unto them, Why have ye rewarded evil for good?

jub@Genesis:44:5 @ [Is] this not [the one] in which my lord drinks and in which indeed he divines? Ye have done evil in so doing.

jub@Genesis:44:6 @ When he overtook them, he spoke unto them these same words.

jub@Genesis:44:7 @ And they said unto him, Why saith my lord these words? In no wise should thy servants do according to this thing.

jub@Genesis:44:8 @ Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks' mouths, we brought again unto thee out of the land of Canaan; how then should we steal out of thy lord's house silver or gold?

jub@Genesis:44:9 @ With whoever of thy servants it is found, both let him die and we also will be my lord's bondmen.

jub@Genesis:44:10 @ And he said, Now also [let] it [be] according unto your words; he with whom it is found shall be my servant, and ye shall be blameless.

jub@Genesis:44:11 @ Then they made haste, and each one took his sack down to the ground, and each one opened his sack.

jub@Genesis:44:12 @ And he searched [and] began at the eldest and finished at the youngest; and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.

jub@Genesis:44:13 @ Then they rent their clothes, and each one laded his ass, and they returned to the city.

jub@Genesis:44:14 @ And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph's house, for he [was] yet there; and they fell before him on the ground.

jub@Genesis:44:15 @ And Joseph said unto them, What deed [is] this that ye have done? Know ye not that such a man as I can certainly divine?

jub@Genesis:44:16 @ Then Judah said, What shall we say unto my lord? What shall we speak or how shall we clear ourselves? God has found out the iniquity of thy servants; behold, we [are] my lord's servants, both we and [he] also with whom the cup is found.

jub@Genesis:44:17 @ And he said, in no wise should I do so; [but] the man in whose hand the cup is found, he shall be my servant; and as for you, go up in peace unto your father.

jub@Genesis:44:18 @ Then Judah came near unto him and said, Oh my lord, let thy servant, I pray thee, speak a word in my lord's ears, and let not thine anger burn against thy servant; for thou [art] even as Pharaoh.

jub@Genesis:44:19 @ My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father or a brother?

jub@Genesis:44:20 @ And we said unto my lord, We have a father, an old man, and a young man of his old age, yet a lad; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loves him.

jub@Genesis:44:21 @ And thou didst say unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me that I may set my eyes upon him.

jub@Genesis:44:22 @ And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father; for [if] he should leave his father, [his father] would die.

jub@Genesis:44:23 @ And thou didst say unto thy servants, Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, ye shall see my face no more.

jub@Genesis:44:24 @ And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.

jub@Genesis:44:25 @ And our father said, Go again [and] buy us a little food.

jub@Genesis:44:26 @ And we said, We cannot go down; if our youngest brother is with us, then will we go down; for we may not see the man's face unless our youngest brother [is] with us.

jub@Genesis:44:27 @ Then thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my wife bore me two [sons];

jub@Genesis:44:28 @ and the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces, and I have not seen him since;

jub@Genesis:44:29 @ and if ye take this one also from me and [some] disaster should befall him, ye shall bring my gray hairs with sorrow down to Sheol.

jub@Genesis:44:30 @ Now therefore when I come to thy servant my father, and the lad [is] not with us, seeing that his soul is bound up in the lad's soul,

jub@Genesis:44:31 @ it shall come to pass when he sees that the lad [is] not [with us], that he will die: and thy servants shall bring the gray hairs of thy servant our father down with sorrow to Sheol.

jub@Genesis:44:32 @ For thy servant became surety for the lad unto my father, saying, If I bring him not unto thee, then I shall bear the sin before my father for ever.

jub@Genesis:44:33 @ Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant remain instead of the lad as a bondman to my lord, and let the lad go up with his brethren.

jub@Genesis:44:34 @ For how shall I go up to my father and the lad not [be] with me? I cannot [go] lest I see the evil that shall come on my father.:

jub@Genesis:45:1 @ Then Joseph could not refrain himself before all those that stood by him, and he cried, Cause everyone to go out from me. And no one stood with him while Joseph made himself known unto his brethren.

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

jub@Genesis:45:3 @ And Joseph said unto his brethren, I [am] Joseph; does my father yet live? And his brethren could not answer him, for they were terrified at his presence.

jub@Genesis:45:4 @ Then Joseph said unto his brethren, Now come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I [am] Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt.

jub@Genesis:45:5 @ Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves that ye sold me here, for God sent me before you for life.

jub@Genesis:45:6 @ For these two years the famine [has been] in the land, and yet [there are] five years in which [there shall] neither [be] plowing nor harvest.

jub@Genesis:45:7 @ And God sent me before you that you might remain in the earth and that you might be given life by great liberty.

jub@Genesis:45:8 @ So now [it was] not you [that] sent me here, but God; and he has made me [as] a father to Pharaoh and lord of all his house and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.

jub@Genesis:45:9 @ Make haste and go up to my father and say unto him: Thus saith thy son Joseph, God has made me lord of all Egypt; come down unto me, tarry not.

jub@Genesis:45:10 @ And thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shalt be near unto me, thou and thy sons and thy sons's sons and thy herds and thy cows and all that thou hast.

jub@Genesis:45:11 @ And there I will nourish thee, for yet [there are] five years of famine, lest thou and thy household and all that thou hast perish of poverty.

jub@Genesis:45:12 @ And, behold, your eyes see and the eyes of my brother Benjamin that [it is] my mouth that speaks unto you.

jub@Genesis:45:13 @ And ye shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt and of all that ye have seen; and ye shall haste and bring down my father here.

jub@Genesis:45:14 @ And he fell upon his brother Benjamin's neck and wept, and Benjamin wept upon his neck.

jub@Genesis:45:15 @ Moreover he kissed all his brethren and wept upon them, and after that his brethren talked with him.

jub@Genesis:45:16 @ And the fame of this was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, Joseph's brethren have come; and it pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants.

jub@Genesis:45:17 @ And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Say unto thy brethren, Do this: lade your beasts and go, return unto the land of Canaan

jub@Genesis:45:18 @ and take your father and your households and come unto me; and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and ye shall eat the fat of the land.

jub@Genesis:45:19 @ Now thou art commanded, do this: take wagons out of the land of Egypt for your little ones and for your wives and bring your father and come.

jub@Genesis:45:20 @ Also regard not your stuff, for the good of all the land of Egypt [is] yours.

jub@Genesis:45:21 @ And the sons of Israel did so, and Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provisions for the way.

jub@Genesis:45:22 @ To each one of them all he gave changes of clothing; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred [pieces] of silver and five changes of clothing.

jub@Genesis:45:23 @ And to his father he sent after this [manner]: ten asses laden with the best of Egypt and ten she asses laden with wheat and bread and food for his father on the way.

jub@Genesis:45:24 @ So he sent his brethren away, and they departed. And he said unto them, See that ye do not fight along the way.

jub@Genesis:45:25 @ And they went up out of Egypt and came into the land of Canaan unto Jacob, their father,

jub@Genesis:45:26 @ and told him, saying, Joseph [is] yet alive, and he [is] lord over all the land of Egypt. And his heart fainted, for he did not believe them.

jub@Genesis:45:27 @ And they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said unto them; and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob, their father, revived:

jub@Genesis:45:28 @ Then Israel said, [It is] enough; Joseph my son [is] yet alive; I will go and see him before I die.:

jub@Genesis:46:1 @ And Israel took his journey with all that he had and came to Beersheba and offered sacrifices unto the God of his father Isaac.
