01_GEN_42_01 now when Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt , Jacob said unto his sons , why do ye Look one upon another ?
01_GEN_42_02 And he said , behold , I have heard that there Is corn in Egypt : get you down thither , And buy for us from thence ; that we may live , And not die .
01_GEN_42_03 And Joseph's ten brethren went down to buy corn in Egypt .
01_GEN_42_04 but Benjamin , Joseph's brother , Jacob sent not with his brethren ; for he said , lest Peradventure mischief befall him .
01_GEN_42_05 And the sons of Israel came to buy [ corn ] among those that came : for the famine was in the land of Canaan .
01_GEN_42_06 And Joseph [ was ] the governor over the land , [ And ] he [ it was ] that sold to all the people of the land : And Joseph's brethren came , And bowed down themselves before him [ with ] their faces to the earth .
01_GEN_42_07 And Joseph saw his brethren , And he knew them , but made himself strange unto them , And spake roughly unto them ; And he said unto them , whence come ye ? And they said , from the land of Canaan to buy food .
01_GEN_42_08 And Joseph knew his brethren , but they knew not him .
01_GEN_42_09 And Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed of them , And said unto them , ye [ are ] spies ; to see the nakedness of the land ye are come .
01_GEN_42_10 And they said unto him , Nay , my LORD , but to buy food are thy servants come .
01_GEN_42_11 we [ are ] all one man's sons ; we [ are ] true [ men ] , thy servants are no spies .
01_GEN_42_12 And he said unto them , Nay , but to see the nakedness of the land ye are come .
01_GEN_42_13 And they said , thy servants [ are ] twelve brethren , the sons of one man in the land of Canaan ; And , behold , the youngest [ Is ] this day with our Father , And one [ Is ] not .
01_GEN_42_14 And Joseph said unto them , that [ Is it ] that I spake unto you , saying , ye [ are ] spies :
01_GEN_42_15 Hereby ye shall be proved : by the life of Pharaoh ye shall not go forth hence , except your youngest brother come hither .
01_GEN_42_16 send one of you , And let him fetch your brother , And ye shall be kept in prison , that your words may be proved , whether [ there be any ] truth in you : or else by the life of Pharaoh surely ye [ are ] spies .
01_GEN_42_17 And he put them all together into ward three days .
01_GEN_42_18 And Joseph said unto them the third day , this do , And live ; [ for ] I Fear God :
01_GEN_42_19 if ye [ be ] true [ men ] , let one of your brethren be bound in the house of your prison : go ye , carry corn for the famine of your houses :
01_GEN_42_20 but bring your youngest brother unto me ; So shall your words be verified , And ye shall not die . And they did So .
01_GEN_42_21 And they said one to another , we [ are ] Verily guilty concerning our brother , in that we saw the anguish of his soul , when he besought us , And we would not hear ; therefore Is this distress come upon us .
01_GEN_42_22 And Reuben answered them , saying , spake I not unto you , saying , do not sin against the child ; And ye would not hear ? therefore , behold , also his blood Is required .
01_GEN_42_23 And they knew not that Joseph understood [ them ] ; for he spake unto them by an interpreter .
01_GEN_42_24 And he turned himself about from them , And wept ; And returned to them again , And communed with them , And took from them Simeon , And bound him before their eyes .
01_GEN_42_25 Then Joseph commanded to fill their sacks with corn , And to Restore every man's money into his sack , And to give them provision for the way : And thus did he unto them .
01_GEN_42_26 And they laded their asses with the corn , And departed thence .
01_GEN_42_27 And as one of them opened his sack to give his ass provender in the inn , he espied his money ; for , behold , it [ was ] in his sack's mouth .
01_GEN_42_28 And he said unto his brethren , my money Is restored ; And , Lo , [ it Is ] even in my sack : And their heart failed [ them ] , And they were afraid , saying one to another , what [ Is ] this [ that ] God hath done unto us ?
01_GEN_42_29 And they came unto Jacob their Father unto the land of Canaan , And told him all that befell unto them ; saying ,
01_GEN_42_30 the man , [ who Is ] the LORD of the land , spake roughly to us , And took us for spies of the country .
01_GEN_42_31 And we said unto him , we [ are ] true [ men ] ; we are no spies :
01_GEN_42_32 we [ be ] twelve brethren , sons of our Father ; one [ Is ] not , And the youngest [ Is ] this day with our Father in the land of Canaan .
01_GEN_42_33 And the man , the LORD of the country , said unto us , Hereby shall I know that ye [ are ] true [ men ] ; leave one of your brethren [ here ] with me , And take [ food for ] the famine of your households , And be gone :
01_GEN_42_34 And bring your youngest brother unto me : Then shall I know that ye [ are ] no spies , but [ that ] ye [ are ] true [ men : So ] will I deliver you your brother , And ye shall traffic in the land .
01_GEN_42_35 And it came to pass as they emptied their sacks , that , behold , every man's bundle of money [ was ] in his sack : And when [ Both ] they And their Father saw the bundles of money , they were afraid .
01_GEN_42_36 And Jacob their Father said unto them , me have ye bereaved [ of my children ] : Joseph [ Is ] not , And Simeon [ Is ] not , And ye will take Benjamin [ away ] : all These things are against me .
01_GEN_42_37 And Reuben spake unto his Father , saying , slay my two sons , if I bring him not to thee : deliver him into my hand , And I will bring him to thee again .
01_GEN_42_38 And he said , my son shall not go down with you ; for his brother Is dead , And he Is left alone : if mischief befall him by the way in the which ye go , Then shall ye bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave .
