Chapter 42
Now
when
Iacob
saw
that
there
was
corne
in
Egypt,
Iacob
said
vnto
his
sonnes,
Why
doe
ye
looke
one
vpon
an
other?
2
And
hee
said,
Beholde,
I
haue
heard
that
there
is
corne
in
Egypt:
get
you
downe
thither
and
buy
for
vs
from
thence,
that
we
may
liue,
and
not
die.
3
And
Iosephs
ten
brethren
went
downe
to
buy
corne
in
Egypt.
4
But
Beniamin
Iosephs
brother,
Iacob
sent
not
with
his
brethren:
for
he
said,
Lest
peraduenture
mischiefe
befall
him.
5
And
the
sonnes
of
Israel
came
to
buy
corne
among
those
that
came:
for
the
famine
was
in
the
land
of
Canaan.
6
And
Ioseph
was
the
gouernour
ouer
the
land,
and
hee
it
was
that
sold
to
all
the
people
of
the
land:
and
Iosephs
brethren
came,
&
bowed
downe
themselues
before
him,
with
their
faces
to
the
earth.
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.
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.
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.
13
And
they
said,
Thy
seruants
are
twelue
brethren,
the
sonnes
of
one
man
in
the
land
of
Canaan:
and
behold,
the
yongest
is
this
day
with
our
father,
and
one
is
not.
14
And
Ioseph
said
vnto
them,
That
is
it
that
I
spake
vnto
you,
saying,
Ye
are
spies.
15
Hereby
ye
shall
be
proued:
by
the
life
of
Pharaoh
ye
shall
not
goe
foorth
hence,
except
your
yongest
brother
come
hither.
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.
17
And
he
put
them
all
together
into
warde,
three
dayes.
18
And
Ioseph
said
vnto
them
the
third
day,
This
doe,
and
liue:
for
I
feare
God.
19
If
ye
be
true
men,
let
one
of
your
brethren
be
bound
in
the
house
of
your
prison:
goe
ye,
carry
corne
for
the
famine
of
your
houses.
20
But
bring
your
yongest
brother
vnto
mee,
so
shall
your
wordes
be
verified,
and
yee
shall
not
die:
and
they
did
so.
21
And
they
said
one
to
another,
We
are
verily
guiltie
concerning
our
brother,
in
that
we
saw
the
anguish
of
his
soule,
when
he
besought
vs,
and
we
would
not
heare:
therefore
is
this
distresse
come
vpon
vs.
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.
23
And
they
knew
not
that
Ioseph
vnderstood
them:
for
hee
spake
vnto
them
by
an
interpreter.
24
And
hee
turned
himselfe
about
from
them
and
wept,
and
returned
to
them
againe,
and
communed
with
them,
and
tooke
from
them
Simeon,
and
bound
him
before
their
eyes.
25
Then
Ioseph
commanded
to
fill
their
sackes
with
corne,
and
to
restore
euery
mans
money
into
his
sacke,
and
to
giue
them
prouision
for
the
way:
and
thus
did
he
vnto
them.
26
And
they
laded
their
asses
with
the
corne,
and
departed
thence.
27
And
as
one
of
them
opened
his
sacke,
to
giue
his
asse
prouender
in
the
Inne,
he
espied
his
money:
for
behold,
it
was
in
his
sackes
mouth.
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?
29
And
they
came
vnto
Iacob
their
father,
vnto
the
land
of
Canaan,
and
told
him
all
that
befell
vnto
them,
saying;
30
The
man
who
is
the
lord
of
the
land,
spake
roughly
to
vs,
and
tooke
vs
for
spies
of
the
countrey.
31
And
we
said
vnto
him,
We
are
true
men;
we
are
no
spies.
32
We
be
twelue
brethren,
sonnes
of
our
father:
one
is
not,
and
the
yongest
is
this
day
with
our
father,
in
the
land
of
Canaan.
33
And
the
man
the
lord
of
the
countrey
said
vnto
vs,
Hereby
shall
I
know
that
ye
are
true
men:
leaue
one
of
your
brethren
here
with
me,
and
take
foode
for
the
famine
of
your
housholds,
and
be
gone.
34
And
bring
your
yongest
brother
vnto
me:
then
shall
I
know
that
you
are
no
spies,
but
that
you
are
true
men:
so
will
I
deliuer
you
your
brother,
and
ye
shall
traffique
in
the
land.
35
And
it
came
to
passe
as
they
emptied
their
sacks,
that
behold,
euery
mans
bundle
of
money
was
in
his
sacke:
and
when
both
they
and
their
father
saw
the
bundels
of
money,
they
were
afraid.
36
And
Iacob
their
father
said
vnto
them,
We
haue
ye
bereaued
of
my
children:
Ioseph
is
not,
and
Simeon
is
not,
and
ye
wil
take
Beniamin
away:
all
these
things
are
against
me.
37
And
Reuben
spake
vnto
his
father,
saying;
Slay
my
two
sonnes,
if
I
bring
him
not
to
thee:
deliuer
him
into
my
hand,
and
I
will
bring
him
to
thee
againe.
38
And
he
said,
My
sonne
shall
not
goe
downe
with
you,
for
his
brother
is
dead,
and
he
is
left
alone:
if
mischiefe
befall
him
by
the
way
in
the
which
yee
goe,
then
shall
ye
bring
downe
my
gray
haires
with
sorrow
to
the
graue.
