Genesis 43 And the famine was severe in the land.

Webster_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

1 H7458 And the famine H3515 was severe H776 in the land.

2 H3615 H398 [H8765] And it came to pass, when they had consumed H7668 the grain H935 [H8689] which they had brought H4714 from Egypt H1 , their father H559 [H8799] said H7725 [H8798] to them, Go again H7666 [H8798] , buy H4592 us a little H400 food.

3 H3063 And Judah H559 [H8799] spoke H559 [H8800] to him, saying H376 , The man H5749 [H8687] did solemnly H5749 [H8689] protest H559 [H8800] to us, saying H7200 [H8799] , Ye shall not see H6440 my face H1115 , except H251 your brother be with you.

4 H3426 If thou wilt H7971 [H8764] send H251 our brother H3381 [H8799] with us, we will go down H7666 [H8799] and buy H400 thee food:

5 H7971 [H8764] But if thou wilt not send H3381 [H8799] him, we will not go down H376 : for the man H559 [H8804] said H7200 [H8799] to us, Ye shall not see H6440 my face H251 , except your brother be with you.

6 H3478 And Israel H559 [H8799] said H7489 [H8689] , Why dealt ye so ill H5046 [H8687] with me, as to tell H376 the man H251 whether ye had yet a brother?

7 H559 [H8799] And they said H376 , The man H7592 [H8804] asked H7592 [H8800] us carefully H4138 concerning our state, and our kindred H559 [H8800] , saying H1 , Is your father H2416 yet alive H3426 ? have ye H251 another brother H5046 [H8686] ? and we told H5921 him according H6310 to the tenor H1697 of these words H3045 [H8800] : could we certainly H3045 [H8799] know H559 [H8799] that he would say H3381 0 , Bring H251 your brother H3381 [H8685] down?

8 H3063 And Judah H559 [H8799] said H3478 to Israel H1 his father H7971 [H8798] , Send H5288 the lad H6965 [H8799] with me, and we will arise H3212 [H8799] and go H2421 [H8799] ; that we may live H4191 [H8799] , and not die H2945 , both we, and thou, and also our little ones.

9 H6148 [H8799] I will be surety H3027 for him; of my hand H1245 [H8762] shalt thou require H518 0 him: if H935 [H8689] I bring H518 him not H3322 [H8689] to thee, and set H6440 him before thee H2398 [H8804] , then let me bear the blame H3117 for ever:

10 H3884 For except H4102 [H8701] we had delayed H7725 [H8804] , surely now we had returned H6471 this second time.

11 H1 And their father H3478 Israel H559 [H8799] said H645 to them, If it must be so now H6213 [H8798] , do H3947 [H8798] this; take H2173 of the best fruits H776 in the land H3627 in your vessels H3381 [H8685] , and carry down H376 to the man H4503 a present H4592 , a little H6875 balm H4592 , and a little H1706 honey H5219 , spices H3910 , and myrrh H992 , nuts H8247 , and almonds:

12 H3947 [H8798] And take H4932 double H3701 money H3027 in your hand H3701 ; and the money H7725 [H8716] that was returned H6310 in the mouth H572 of your sacks H7725 [H8686] , carry it again H3027 in your hand H4870 ; it may be it was an oversight:

13 H3947 [H8798] Take H251 also your brother H6965 [H8798] , and arise H7725 [H8798] , go again H376 to the man:

14 H410 And God H7706 Almighty H5414 [H8799] give H7356 you mercy H6440 before H376 the man H7971 [H8765] , that he may send away H312 your other H251 brother H1144 , and Benjamin H834 . If H7921 [H8804] I be bereaved H7921 [H8804] of my children, I am bereaved.

15 H582 And the men H3947 [H8799] took H2063 that H4503 present H3947 [H8804] , and they took H4932 double H3701 money H3027 in their hand H1144 , and Benjamin H6965 [H8799] ; and arose H3381 [H8799] , and went down H4714 to Egypt H5975 [H8799] , and stood H6440 before H3130 Joseph.

16 H3130 And when Joseph H7200 [H8799] saw H1144 Benjamin H854 with H559 [H8799] them, he said H1004 to the ruler of his house H935 [H8685] , Bring H582 these men H1004 home H2873 H2874 [H8800] , and slaughter H3559 [H8685] a beast, and make ready H582 ; for these men H398 [H8799] shall dine H6672 with me at noon.

17 H376 And the man H6213 [H8799] did H3130 as Joseph H559 [H8804] commanded H376 ; and the man H935 [H8686] brought H582 the men H3130 into Joseph's H1004 house.

18 H582 And the men H3372 [H8799] were afraid H935 [H8717] , because they were brought H3130 into Joseph's H1004 house H559 [H8799] ; and they said H1697 , Because H3701 of the money H7725 [H8802] that was returned H572 in our sacks H8462 at the first time H935 [H8716] are we brought in H1556 [H8705] ; that he may seek occasion H5307 [H8692] against us, and fall H3947 [H8800] upon us, and take H5650 us for slaves H2543 , and our donkeys.

19 H5066 [H8799] And they came near H376 to the steward H3130 of Joseph's H1004 house H1696 [H8762] , and they spoke H6607 with him at the door H1004 of the house,

20 H559 [H8799] And said H994 , O H113 sir H3381 [H8804] , we came down H3381 [H8800] indeed H8462 at the first time H7666 [H8800] to buy H400 food:

21 H935 [H8804] And it came to pass, when we came H4411 to the inn H6605 [H8799] , that we opened H572 our sacks H376 , and, behold, every man's H3701 money H6310 was in the mouth H572 of his sack H3701 , our money H4948 in full weight H7725 [H8686] : and we have brought it again H3027 in our hand.

22 H312 And other H3701 money H3381 [H8689] have we brought down H3027 in our hands H7666 [H8800] to buy H400 food H3045 [H8804] : we cannot tell H7760 [H8804] who put H3701 our money H572 in our sacks.

23 H559 [H8799] And he said H7965 , Peace H3372 [H8799] be to you, fear H430 not: your God H430 , and the God H1 of your father H5414 [H8804] , hath given H4301 you treasure H572 in your sacks H935 [H8804] : I had H3701 your money H3318 [H8686] . And he brought H8095 Simeon out to them.

24 H376 And the man H935 [H8686] brought H582 the men H3130 into Joseph's H1004 house H5414 [H8799] , and gave H4325 them water H7364 [H8799] , and they washed H7272 their feet H5414 [H8799] ; and he gave H2543 their donkeys H4554 feed.

25 H3559 [H8686] And they made ready H4503 the present H5704 for H3130 Joseph's H935 [H8800] coming H6672 at noon H8085 [H8804] : for they heard H398 [H8799] that they should eat H3899 bread there.

26 H3130 And when Joseph H935 [H8799] came H1004 home H935 [H8686] , they brought H4503 him the present H3027 which was in their hand H1004 into the house H7812 [H8691] , and bowed H776 themselves to him to the earth.

27 H7592 [H8799] And he asked H7965 them of their welfare H559 [H8799] , and said H1 , Is your father H7965 well H2205 , the old man H559 [H8804] of whom ye spoke H2416 ? Is he yet alive?

28 H559 [H8799] And they answered H5650 , Thy servant H1 our father H7965 is in good health H2416 , he is yet alive H6915 [H8799] . And they bowed their heads H7812 [H8691] , and made obeisance.

29 H5375 [H8799] And he lifted up H5869 his eyes H7200 [H8799] , and saw H251 his brother H1144 Benjamin H517 , his mother's H1121 son H559 [H8799] , and said H6996 , Is this your younger H251 brother H559 [H8804] , of whom ye spoke H559 [H8799] to me? And he said H430 , God H2603 [H8799] be gracious H1121 to thee, my son.

30 H3130 And Joseph H4116 [H8762] made haste H7356 ; for his heart H3648 [H8738] yearned H251 toward his brother H1245 [H8762] : and he sought H1058 [H8800] where to weep H935 [H8799] ; and he entered H2315 into his chamber H1058 [H8799] , and wept there.

31 H7364 [H8799] And he washed H6440 his face H3318 [H8799] , and went out H662 [H8691] , and controlled H559 [H8799] himself, and said H7760 [H8798] , Set on H3899 bread.

32 H7760 [H8799] And they set on H4713 for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians H398 [H8802] , who ate H4713 with him, by themselves: because the Egyptians H3201 [H8799] might H398 [H8800] not eat H3899 bread H5680 with the Hebrews H8441 ; for that is an abomination H4714 to the Egyptians.

33 H3427 [H8799] And they sat H6440 before him H1060 , the firstborn H1062 according to his birthright H6810 , and the youngest H6812 according to his youth H582 : and the men H8539 [H8799] wondered H376 one H7453 at another.

34 H5375 [H8799] And he took H4864 and sent messes H6440 to them from before him H1144 : but Benjamin's H4864 mess H2568 was five H3027 times H7235 [H8799] so much as H8354 [H8799] any of theirs. And they drank H7937 [H8799] , and were merry with him.
