42:1 When
Jacob
learned
that
there
was
grain
for
sale
in
Egypt,
he
said
to
his
sons,
"Why
do
you
look
at
one
another"
42:2 And
he
said,
"Behold,
I
have
heard
that
there
is
grain
for
sale
in
Egypt.
Go
down
and
buy
grain
for
us
there,
that
we
may
live
and
not
die."
42:3 So
ten
of
Joseph's
brothers
went
down
to
buy
grain
in
Egypt.
42:4 But
Jacob
did
not
send
Benjamin,
Joseph's
brother,
with
his
brothers,
for
he
feared
that
harm
might
happen
to
him.
42:5 Thus
the
sons
of
Israel
came
to
buy
among
the
others
who
came,
for
the
famine
was
in
the
land
of
Canaan.
42:6 Now
Joseph
was
governor
over
the
land.
He
was
the
one
who
sold
to
all
the
people
of
the
land.
And
Joseph's
brothers
came
and
bowed
themselves
before
him
with
their
faces
to
the
ground.
42:7 Joseph
saw
his
brothers
and
recognized
them,
but
he
treated
them
like
strangers
and
spoke
roughly
to
them.
"Where
do
you
come
from"
he
said.
They
said,
"From
the
land
of
Canaan,
to
buy
food."
42:8 And
Joseph
recognized
his
brothers,
but
they
did
not
recognize
him.
42:9 And
Joseph
remembered
the
dreams
that
he
had
dreamed
of
them.
And
he
said
to
them,
"You
are
spies;
you
have
come
to
see
the
nakedness
of
the
land."
42:10 They
said
to
him,
"No,
my
lord,
your
servants
have
come
to
buy
food.
42:11 We
are
all
sons
of
one
man.
We
are
honest
men.
Your
servants
have
never
been
spies."
42:12 He
said
to
them,
"No,
it
is
the
nakedness
of
the
land
that
you
have
come
to
see."
42:13 And
they
said,
"We,
your
servants,
are
twelve
brothers,
the
sons
of
one
man
in
the
land
of
Canaan,
and
behold,
the
youngest
is
this
day
with
our
father,
and
one
is
no
more."
42:14 But
Joseph
said
to
them,
"It
is
as
I
said
to
you.
You
are
spies.
42:15 By
this
you
shall
be
tested:
by
the
life
of
Pharaoh,
you
shall
not
go
from
this
place
unless
your
youngest
brother
comes
here.
42:16 Send
one
of
you,
and
let
him
bring
your
brother,
while
you
remain
confined,
that
your
words
may
be
tested,
whether
there
is
truth
in
you.
Or
else,
by
the
life
of
Pharaoh,
surely
you
are
spies."
42:17 And
he
put
them
all
together
in
custody
for
three
days.
42:18 On
the
third
day
Joseph
said
to
them,
"Do
this
and
you
will
live,
for
I
fear
God:
42:19 if
you
are
honest
men,
let
one
of
your
brothers
remain
confined
where
you
are
in
custody,
and
let
the
rest
go
and
carry
grain
for
the
famine
of
your
households,
42:20 and
bring
your
youngest
brother
to
me.
So
your
words
will
be
verified,
and
you
shall
not
die."
And
they
did
so.
42:21 Then
they
said
to
one
another,
"In
truth
we
are
guilty
concerning
our
brother,
in
that
we
saw
the
distress
of
his
soul,
when
he
begged
us
and
we
did
not
listen.
That
is
why
this
distress
has
come
upon
us."
42:22 And
Reuben
answered
them,
"Did
I
not
tell
you
not
to
sin
against
the
boy
But
you
did
not
listen.
So
now
there
comes
a
reckoning
for
his
blood."
42:23 They
did
not
know
that
Joseph
understood
them,
for
there
was
an
interpreter
between
them.
42:24 Then
he
turned
away
from
them
and
wept.
And
he
returned
to
them
and
spoke
to
them.
And
he
took
Simeon
from
them
and
bound
him
before
their
eyes.
42:25 And
Joseph
gave
orders
to
fill
their
bags
with
grain,
and
to
replace
every
man's
money
in
his
sack,
and
to
give
them
provisions
for
the
journey.
This
was
done
for
them.
42:26 Then
they
loaded
their
donkeys
with
their
grain
and
departed.
42:27 And
as
one
of
them
opened
his
sack
to
give
his
donkey
fodder
at
the
lodging
place,
he
saw
his
money
in
the
mouth
of
his
sack.
42:28 He
said
to
his
brothers,
"My
money
has
been
put
back;
here
it
is
in
the
mouth
of
my
sack!"
At
this
their
hearts
failed
them,
and
they
turned
trembling
to
one
another,
saying,
"What
is
this
that
God
has
done
to
us"
42:29 When
they
came
to
Jacob
their
father
in
the
land
of
Canaan,
they
told
him
all
that
had
happened
to
them,
saying,
42:30 "The
man,
the
lord
of
the
land,
spoke
roughly
to
us
and
took
us
to
be
spies
of
the
land.
42:31 But
we
said
to
him,
'We
are
honest
men;
we
have
never
been
spies.
42:32 We
are
twelve
brothers,
sons
of
our
father.
One
is
no
more,
and
the
youngest
is
this
day
with
our
father
in
the
land
of
Canaan.'
42:33 Then
the
man,
the
lord
of
the
land,
said
to
us,
'By
this
I
shall
know
that
you
are
honest
men:
leave
one
of
your
brothers
with
me,
and
take
grain
for
the
famine
of
your
households,
and
go
your
way.
42:34 Bring
your
youngest
brother
to
me.
Then
I
shall
know
that
you
are
not
spies
but
honest
men,
and
I
will
deliver
your
brother
to
you,
and
you
shall
trade
in
the
land.'"
42:35 As
they
emptied
their
sacks,
behold,
every
man's
bundle
of
money
was
in
his
sack.
And
when
they
and
their
father
saw
their
bundles
of
money,
they
were
afraid.
42:36 And
Jacob
their
father
said
to
them,
"You
have
bereaved
me
of
my
children:
Joseph
is
no
more,
and
Simeon
is
no
more,
and
now
you
would
take
Benjamin.
All
this
has
come
against
me."
42:37 Then
Reuben
said
to
his
father,
"Kill
my
two
sons
if
I
do
not
bring
him
back
to
you.
Put
him
in
my
hands,
and
I
will
bring
him
back
to
you."
42:38 But
he
said,
"My
son
shall
not
go
down
with
you,
for
his
brother
is
dead,
and
he
is
the
only
one
left.
If
harm
should
happen
to
him
on
the
journey
that
you
are
to
make,
you
would
bring
down
my
gray
hairs
with
sorrow
to
Sheol."
