1
H6680
He commanded
H1004
the steward of his house,
H559
saying,
H4390
"Fill
H582
the men's
H572
sacks
H400
with food,
H834
as much as
H3201
they can
H5375
carry,
H7760
and put
H376
each man's
H3701
money
H572
in his sack's
H6310
mouth.
2
H7760
Put
H1375
my cup,
H3701
the silver
H1375
cup,
H572
in the sack's
H6310
mouth
H6996
of the youngest,
H7668
with his grain
H3701
money."
H6213
He did
H1697
according to the word
H3130
that Joseph
H1696
had spoken.
3
H1242
As soon as the morning
H215
was light,
H582
the men
H7971
were sent away,
H2543
they and their donkeys.
4
H3318
When they had gone out
H5892
of the city,
H7368
and were not yet far off,
H3130
Joseph
H559
said
H1004
to his steward,
H6965
"Up,
H7291
follow
H310
after
H582
the men.
H5381
When you overtake
H559
them, ask
H7999
them, ‘Why have you rewarded
H7451
evil
H2896
for good?
5
H113
Isn't this that from which my lord
H8354
drinks,
H5172
and by which he indeed
H5172
divines?
H7489
You have done evil
H6213
in so doing.'"
7
H559
They said
H113
to him, "Why does my lord
H1696
speak
H1697
such words
H2486
as these? Far be it
H5650
from your servants
H6213
that they should do
H1697
such a thing!
8
H3701
Behold, the money,
H4672
which we found
H572
in our sacks'
H6310
mouths,
H7725
we brought again
H776
to you out of the land
H3667
of Canaan.
H1589
How then should we steal
H3701
silver
H2091
or gold
H113
out of your lord's
H1004
house?
9
H5650
With whomever of your servants
H4672
it is found,
H4191
let him die,
H113
and we also will be my lord's
H5650
bondservants."
10
H559
He said,
H3651
"Now also let it be according to your words:
H4672
he with whom it is found
H5650
will be my bondservant;
H5355
and you will be blameless."
11
H4116
Then they hurried,
H376
and each man
H572
took his sack
H3381
down
H776
to the ground,
H376
and each man
H6605
opened
H572
his sack.
12
H2664
He searched,
H2490
beginning
H1419
with the eldest,
H3615
and ending
H6996
at the youngest.
H1375
The cup
H4672
was found
H1144
in Benjamin's
H572
sack.
13
H7167
Then they tore
H8071
their clothes,
H376
and each man
H6006
loaded
H2543
his donkey,
H7725
and returned
H5892
to the city.
14
H3063
Judah
H251
and his brothers
H935
came
H3130
to Joseph's
H1004
house,
H5307
and he was still there. They fell
H776
on the ground
H6440
before him.
15
H3130
Joseph
H559
said
H4639
to them, "What deed
H6213
is this that you have done?
H3045
Don't you
H376
know that such a man
H5172
as I can indeed divine?"
16
H3063
Judah
H559
said,
H113
"What will we tell my lord?
H1696
What will we speak?
H6663
Or how will we clear ourselves?
H430
God
H4672
has found out
H5771
the iniquity
H5650
of your servants.
H113
Behold, we are my lord's
H5650
bondservants,
H1571
both we, and he also
H834
in whose
H1375
hand the cup
H4672
is found."
17
H559
He said,
H2486
"Far be it
H6213
from me that I should do
H2063
so.
H376
The man
H3027
in whose hand
H1375
the cup
H4672
is found,
H5650
he will be my bondservant;
H5927
but as for you, go up
H7965
in peace
H1
to your father."
18
H3063
Then Judah
H5066
came near
H559
to him, and said,
H994
"Oh,
H113
my lord,
H5650
please let your servant
H1696
speak
H1697
a word
H113
in my lord's
H241
ears,
H639
and don't let your anger
H2734
burn
H5650
against your servant;
H6547
for you are even as Pharaoh.
19
H113
My lord
H7592
asked
H5650
his servants,
H559
saying,
H3426
‘Have
H1
you a father,
H251
or a brother?'
20
H559
We said
H113
to my lord,
H3426
‘We have
H1
a father,
H2205
an old man,
H3206
and a child
H2208
of his old age,
H6996
a little one;
H251
and his brother
H4191
is dead,
H3498
and he alone is left
H517
of his mother;
H1
and his father
H157
loves him.'
21
H559
You said
H5650
to your servants,
H3381
‘Bring him down
H7760
to me, that I may set
H5869
my eyes on him.'
22
H559
We said
H113
to my lord,
H3201
‘The boy can't
H5800
leave
H1
his father:
H5800
for if he should leave
H1
his father,
H1
his father
H4191
would die.'
23
H559
You said
H5650
to your servants,
H3808
‘Unless
H6996
your youngest
H251
brother
H3381
comes down
H3254
with you, you will see
H6440
my face
H7200
no more.'
24
H5927
It happened when we came up
H5650
to your servant
H1
my father,
H5046
we told
H1697
him the words
H113
of my lord.
26
H559
We said,
H3201
‘We can't
H3381
go down.
H6996
If our youngest
H251
brother
H3426
is
H3381
with us, then we will go down:
H3201
for we may
H7200
not see
H376
the man's
H6440
face,
H369
unless
H6996
our youngest
H251
brother is with us.'
27
H5650
Your servant,
H1
my father,
H559
said
H3045
to us, ‘You know
H802
that my wife
H3205
bore
H8147
me two sons:
28
H259
and the one
H3318
went out
H559
from me, and I said,
H2963
"Surely
H2963
he is torn in pieces;"
H7200
and I haven't seen him
H2008
since.
29
H3947
If you take
H5973
this one also from
H6440
me,
H611
and harm
H7136
happens to him,
H3381
you will bring down
H7872
my gray hairs
H7451
with sorrow
H7585
to Sheol.'
30
H935
Now therefore when I come
H5650
to your servant
H1
my father,
H5288
and the boy
H5315
is not with us; since his life
H7194
is bound up
H5315
in the boy's life;
31
H7200
it will happen, when he sees
H5288
that the boy
H4191
is no more, that he will die.
H5650
Your servants
H3381
will bring down
H7872
the gray hairs
H5650
of your servant,
H1
our father,
H3015
with sorrow
H7585
to Sheol.
32
H5650
For your servant
H6148
became collateral
H5288
for the boy
H5973
to
H1
my father,
H559
saying,
H935
‘If I don't bring
H2398
him to you, then I will bear the blame
H1
to my father
H3117
forever.'
