CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And seeing is Jacob that, forsooth, there are victuals in Egypt. And saying is Jacob to his sons, "Why are you staring at one another? ² And saying is he, "Behold! I hear, forsooth, that there are victuals in Egypt. Go down there and purchase for us thence a little food that we will live, and not die. ³ And down are going ten brothers of Joseph to purchase cereals from Egypt. ⁴ Yet Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob does not send with his brothers, for, says he, "Lest meet will he with a mishap. ⁵ And coming are the sons of Israel to purchase in the midst of the comers, for the famine comes to be in the land of Canaan. ⁶ And Joseph, he has authority over the land. He is the retailer to all the people of the land. And coming are the brothers of Joseph and prostrating to him, nostrils to the earth. ⁷ And seeing is Joseph his brothers, and is recognizing them. Yet foreign makes he himself to them, and is speaking with them obstinately, and is saying to them, "Whence come you?And saying are they, "From the land of Canaan, to purchase food. ⁸ And recognizing is Joseph his brothers, yet they do not recognize him. ⁹ And remembering is Joseph the dreams which he dreamed concerning them. And saying is he to them, "Spies are you. To see the nakedness of the land you come. ¹⁰ And saying are they to him, "No, my lord. And your servants come to purchase food. ¹¹ All of us, sons of one man are we. Established are we. Not spies are your servants. ¹² And saying is he to them, "No. For the nakedness of the land you come to see. ¹³ And saying are they, "Your servants, twelve brothers are we, sons of one man in the land of Canaan. And, behold! The small is with our father today, and one is not. ¹⁴ And saying to them is Joseph, "It is what I speak to you, saying, `Spies are you.. ¹⁵ By this will you be tested. By the life of Pharaoh, should you fare forth hence, save you small brother come hither--!" ¹⁶ Send one of you, and he shall take your brother here, and you shall be bound, and your words shall be tested, whether the truth is with you. And should it not be, by the life of Pharaoh--! For spies are you.And saying are they, "The youth cannot leave his father. When he leaves his father, then he will die. ¹⁷ And gathering them is he into a ward three days. ¹⁸ And saying to them is Joseph on the third day, "This do and live. The Elohim fear I. ¹⁹ If you are established, one of your brothers shall be bound in the house of your ward. And you go and bring the victuals you have purchased for the famine of your households. ²⁰ And your small brother you shall bring to me. And if faithful be found your words, then you shall not die.And doing so are they. ²¹ And saying are they, each man to his brother, "Nevertheless, guilty are we on account of our brother when we saw the distress of his soul, when he supplicated us and we did not hearken. Therefore comes on us all this distress. ²² And answering them is Reuben, saying, "Did not I speak to you, saying, `You must not sin against the boy'? And not hearken did you. And, moreover, behold! His blood is required. ²³ Yet they do not know that Joseph is hearing, for the translator is between them. ²⁴ And around is Joseph going, away from them, and is weeping. And returning is he to them, and is speaking to them. And taking is he from them Simeon and is binding him before their eyes. ²⁵ And instruction is Joseph giving, when they are filling their vessels with cereals, to return his money to each man in his sack. And to give them provisions for the way. And done is it to them so. ²⁶ And up are they lifting their victuals on their asses, and going are they thence. ²⁷ And opening is one his sack to give provender to his ass in the lodging, and seeing is he his money pouch, and behold! It is in the mouth of his bag!" ²⁸ And saying is he to his brothers, "Restored is my money, and, moreover, it is in my bag!"And forth is faring their heart and trembling are they, each man saying to his brother, "What is this that the Elohim does to us? ²⁹ And coming are they to Jacob, their father, to the land of Canaan, and are telling him all that had befallen them, saying, ³⁰ The man, the lord of the land, spoke to us obstinately, and gave us over in ward as spies of the land. ³¹ And we said to him, `Established are we. Not come have we to spy. ³² Twelve are we, brothers, sons of our father. One is not, and the small is today with our father in the land of Canaan.. ³³ And saying to us is the man, the lord of the land, `By this shall I know that you are established. Your brothers, one leave be with me. And the victuals you have purchased for the famine of your households, take and go. ³⁴ And bring your small brother to me, then I will know that you are not spies, for established are you. Your brother will I give back to you, and in the land shall you be merchants.. ³⁵ And coming is it, at their emptying their sacks, behold! Each man's money pouch is in his sack. And seeing are they and their father the pouches with their money, and are fearful. ³⁶ And saying to them is Jacob, their father, "Me you bereave! Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and Benjamin you will take! On me come all these things. ³⁷ And speaking is Reuben to his father, saying, "Two of my sons put to death should I not bring him back to you. Give him into my hand, and I will restore him to you. ³⁸ And saying is he, "Not go down with you shall my son, for his brother is dead, and he alone remains. And meets him a mishap in the way in which you will go, then down will you bring my gray hairs with affliction to the unseen.
