Genesis:44-46

mkjv@Genesis:44:1 @ And he commanded the steward of his house, saying, Fill the men's sacks [with] food, as much as they can carry, and put each one's silver in his sack's mouth.

mkjv@Genesis:44:2 @ And put my cup, the silver cup, in the mouth of the sack of the youngest, and his grain silver. And he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken.

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

mkjv@Genesis:44:4 @ They had gone out of the city, not having gone far. And Joseph said to his steward, Rise up, follow after the men and overtake them, and say to them, Why have you rewarded evil for good?

mkjv@Genesis:44:5 @ Is this not [that] in which my lord drinks, and by which indeed he divines? You have done evil in so doing.

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

mkjv@Genesis:44:7 @ And they said to him, Why does your lord say these words? Far be it that your servants should do according to this thing.

mkjv@Genesis:44:8 @ Behold, the silver which we found in our sack's mouth, we brought it in to you out of the land of Canaan. How then should we steal out of your lord's house silver or gold?

mkjv@Genesis:44:9 @ [With] whomever of your servants it may be found, both let him die, and we all will be my lord's bondmen.

mkjv@Genesis:44:10 @ And he said, Now also [let] it [be] according to your word. He with whom it is found shall be my servant, and you shall be blameless.

mkjv@Genesis:44:11 @ Then they speedily took down every man his sack to the ground, and each one opened his sack.

mkjv@Genesis:44:12 @ And he searched first at the oldest and with the youngest last. And the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.

mkjv@Genesis:44:13 @ Then they tore their clothes, and each one loaded his ass and returned to the city.

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

mkjv@Genesis:44:15 @ And Joseph said to them, What deed is this that you have done? Do you not know that one like me can certainly divine?

mkjv@Genesis:44:16 @ And Judah said, What shall we say to my lord? What shall we speak? Or how shall we clear ourselves? God has found out the iniquity of your servants. Behold, we [are] my lord's servants, both we and he also with whom the cup is found.

mkjv@Genesis:44:17 @ And he said, Be it far from me that I should do so. The man in whose hand the cup is found, he shall be my servant. And as for you, you go in peace to your father.

mkjv@Genesis:44:18 @ And Judah came near him and said, O my lord, pray let your servant speak a word in my lord's ears, and do not let your anger burn against your servant, for you [are] even as Pharaoh.

mkjv@Genesis:44:19 @ My lord asked his servants, saying, Do you have a father or a brother?

mkjv@Genesis:44:20 @ And we said to my lord, We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, a little one. And his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loves him.

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

mkjv@Genesis:44:22 @ And we said to my lord, The boy cannot leave his father, for [if] he should leave [his father], he would die.

mkjv@Genesis:44:23 @ And you said to your servants, Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, you shall see my face no more.

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

mkjv@Genesis:44:25 @ And our father said, Go again. Buy us a little food.

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

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

mkjv@Genesis:44:28 @ And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces. And I never saw him since.

mkjv@Genesis:44:29 @ And [if] you take this one also from me, and mischief befall him, you shall bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.

mkjv@Genesis:44:30 @ And now when I come to your servant my father, and the boy [is] not with us, since his life is bound up in his life,

mkjv@Genesis:44:31 @ it shall be, when he sees that the boy [is] not [with us], he will die. And your servants shall bring down the gray hairs of your servant our father with sorrow to the grave.

mkjv@Genesis:44:32 @ For your servant became surety for the boy to my father, saying, If I do not bring him to you, then I shall bear the blame to my father forever.

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

mkjv@Genesis:44:34 @ For how shall I go up to my father, and the boy [is] not with me lest perhaps I see the evil that will find my father?

mkjv@Genesis:45:1 @ Then Joseph could not control himself before all those who stood by him. And he cried, Cause every man to go out from me! And no man stood before him [while] Joseph made himself known to his brothers.

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

mkjv@Genesis:45:3 @ And Joseph said to his brothers, I [am] Joseph. Is my father still alive? And his brothers could not answer him, for they were troubled at his presence.

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

mkjv@Genesis:45:5 @ And now do not be grieved, nor angry with yourselves that you sold me here. For God sent me before you to preserve life.

mkjv@Genesis:45:6 @ For these two years the famine [has been] in the land, and [there are] still five years in which there [will be] no plowing nor harvest.

mkjv@Genesis:45:7 @ And God sent me before you to preserve for you a remnant in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.

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

mkjv@Genesis:45:9 @ Hurry and go up to my father and say to him, So says your son Joseph, God has made me lord of all Egypt. Come down to me, do not wait.

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

mkjv@Genesis:45:11 @ And I will nourish you there, for [there are] still five years of famine, lest you and your household, and all that you have, come to poverty.

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

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

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

mkjv@Genesis:45:15 @ And he kissed all his brothers, and wept upon them. And afterwards his brothers talked with him.

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

mkjv@Genesis:45:17 @ And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Say to your brothers, Do this: load your beasts and go into the land of Canaan,

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

mkjv@Genesis:45:19 @ Now you are 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.

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

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

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

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

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

mkjv@Genesis:45:25 @ And they went up out of Egypt, and came [to] the land of Canaan, to Jacob their father.

mkjv@Genesis:45:26 @ And they told him, saying, Joseph [is] still alive, and he is governor over all the land of Egypt. And Jacob's heart fainted, for he did not believe them.

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

mkjv@Genesis:45:28 @ And Israel said, [It is] enough. Joseph my son [is] still alive. I will go and see him before I die.

mkjv@Genesis:46:1 @ And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beer-sheba, and offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.

mkjv@Genesis:46:2 @ And God spoke to Israel in the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob! And he said, Here I [am].

mkjv@Genesis:46:3 @ And He said, I [am] God, the God of your fathers. Do not fear to go down into Egypt, for I will make of you a great nation.

mkjv@Genesis:46:4 @ I will go down with you into Egypt, and I will also surely bring you up again. And Joseph shall put his hand on your eyes.

mkjv@Genesis:46:5 @ And Jacob rose up from Beer-sheba. And the sons of Israel carried Jacob their father, and their little ones, and their wives, in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him.

mkjv@Genesis:46:6 @ And they took their cattle, and their goods which they had gotten in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt, Jacob and all his seed with him.

mkjv@Genesis:46:7 @ His sons, and his sons' sons with him, his daughters, and his sons' daughters, and all his seed, he brought with him into Egypt.

mkjv@Genesis:46:8 @ And these [were] the names of the sons of Israel who came into Egypt, Jacob and his sons: Reuben, Jacob's first-born.
