CHAP. XLII.
1 Iacob sendeth his ten sonnes to buy corne in Egypt. 6 They are imprisoned by Ioseph for spies. 18 They are set at libertie, on condition to bring Beniamin. 21 They haue remorse for Ioseph. 24 Simeon is kept for a pledge. 25 They returne with corne, and their money. 29 Their relation to Iacob. 36 Iacob refuseth to send Beniamin.
1 Now when Iacob saw that there was corne in Egypt, Iacob said vnto his sonnes, Why doe ye looke one vpon an other?1
3 ¶ And Iosephs ten brethren went downe to buy corne in Egypt.
7 And Ioseph saw his brethren, and he knew them, but made himselfe strange vnto them, and spake roughly vnto them; and hee saide vnto them, Whence come ye? And they said, From the land of Canaan, to buy food.7
8 And Ioseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him.
9 And Ioseph remembred the dreames which hee dreamed of them, and said vnto them, Ye are spies: to see the nakednes of the land you are come.9
10 And they said vnto him, Nay, my lord, but to buy food are thy seruants come.
11 We are all one mans sonnes, we are true men: thy seruants are no spies.
12 And he said vnto them, Nay: but to see the nakednesse of the land, you are come.
Ioseph talketh with his brethren.
14 And Ioseph said vnto them, That is it that I spake vnto you, saying, Ye are spies.
16 Send one of you, and let him fetch your brother, and ye shalbe kept in prison, that your wordes may be proued, whether there be any trueth in you: or els by the life of Pharaoh surely ye are spies.16
17 And he put them all together into warde, three dayes.17
18 And Ioseph said vnto them the third day, This doe, and liue: for I feare God.
20 But bring your yongest brother vnto mee, so shall your wordes be verified, and yee shall not die: and they did so.20
22 And Reuben answered them, saying, Spake I not vnto you, saying, Doe not sinne against the childe, and ye would not heare? therefore behold also, his blood is required.22
23 And they knew not that Ioseph vnderstood them: for hee spake vnto them by an interpreter.23
26 And they laded their asses with the corne, and departed thence.
Ioseph talketh with his brethren.
28 And he said vnto his brethren, My money is restored, and loe, it is euen in my sacke: and their heart failed them, and they were afraid, saying one to an other, What is this that God hath done vnto vs?28
30 The man who is the lord of the land, spake roughly to vs, and tooke vs for spies of the countrey.30
31 And we said vnto him, We are true men; we are no spies.
