THE BROTHERS OF YOSEPH GO TO MISRAYIM \ par And Yaaqov sees there are kernels in Misrayim; and Yaaqov says to his sons, What see you? 2 And he says, Behold, I hear that there are kernels in Misrayim: descend there and market for kernels for us from there so that we live and not die. 3 And the ten brothers of Yoseph descend to market for kernels of grain in Misrayim: 4 and Yaaqov sends not Ben Yamin the brother of Yoseph with his brothers; for he says, Lest mischief confronts him. 5 And the sons of Yisra El come to market for kernels among those who come: for the famine is in the land of Kenaan: 6 and Yoseph is the governor over the land and he markets the kernels to all the people of the land. And the brothers of Yoseph come and prostrate with their nostrils to the earth: 7 and Yoseph sees his brothers and he recognizes them; but they recognize him not; and he words sternly to them: and he says to them, Whence come you? And they say, From the land of Kenaan to market for kernels for food. 8 And Yoseph recognizes his brothers, but they recognize him not: 9 and Yoseph remembers the dreams he dreamed of them; and says to them, You are spies; you come to see the nakedness of the land. 10 And they say to him, No, my adoni; but your servants come to market for kernels for food: 11 we are all sons of one man; we are upright, your servants are no spies. 12 And he says to them, No! You come to see the nakedness of the land. 13 And they say, Your servants are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Kenaan; and behold, the youngest is this day with our father and one is not. 14 And Yoseph says to them, That is why I word to you, saying, You are spies! 15 Hereby proof yourselves: By the living Paroh you go not from here, unless your youngest brother comes here. 16 Send one of you to take your brother while we bind you in prison, to proof your words whether there is truth in you: and if not, by the living Paroh, surely you are spies. 17 And he takes them away under guard three days: 18 and the third day, Yoseph says to them, Work this and live; for I awe Elohim: 19 if you are upright, have one of your brothers be bound in the house under guard: you go, carry kernels for the famine of your houses: 20 but bring your youngest brother to me: and thus amen your words, and you die not. - and thus they work. 21 And they say man to brother, We are truly guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the tribulation of his soul when he besought us and we hearkened not; so this tribulation comes on us. 22 And Reu Ben answers them, saying, Said I not to you, saying, Sin not against the child! - and you hearkened not? and behold, also his blood is required. 23 And they know not that Yoseph hears them; for there is a translator between them: 24 and he turns around from them and weeps; and returns to them and words with them and takes Shimon from them and binds him in front of their eyes. 25 Then Yoseph misvahs to fill their instruments with grain and to restore the silver of every man into his saq and to give them hunt for the way: - and thus he works to them. 26 And they load their he burros with the kernels and go from there: 27 and as one of them opens his saq to give his he burro provender in the lodge, he sees his silver; for behold, it is in the mouth of his sack: 28 and he says to his brothers, My silver is restored; and behold, even in my sack! And their hearts fail them and they tremble, saying man to brother, What is this that Elohim works to us? 29 And they come to Yaaqov their father to the land of Kenaan and tell him all that befell them; saying, 30 The man, the adoni of the land, words sternly to us and gives us as spies of the land. 31 And we say to him, We are upright; we are no spies: 32 we are twelve brothers, sons of our father; one is not and the youngest is this day with our father in the land of Kenaan. 33 And the man, the adoni of the land, says to us, Hereby know I that you are upright; leave one of your brothers with me and take for the famine of your households, and go: 34 and bring your youngest brother to me: then I know that you are no spies, but that you are upright: I give you your brother and you merchandise in the land. 35 And so be it, they pour out their saqs, and behold, the silver of the bundles of every man is in his saq: and when they and their father see the bundles of silver, they awe. 36 And Yaaqov their father says to them, You bereave me: Yoseph is not; and Shimon is not: and take you Ben Yamin away: all these are against me. 37 And Reu Ben says to his father, saying, Deathify my two sons, if I return him not to you: give him into my hand and I return him to you. 38 And he says, My son descends not with you; for his brother is dead and he alone survives: if mischief confronts him by the way you go, then you descend my grayness with grief to sheol.
