opened <6605 pathach > her womb <7358 rechem > : but Rachel

Because <3588 kiy > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath heard <8085

bare <3205 yalad> a son <1121 ben > : and she said <0559 >amar >

, Now will I praise <3034 yadah > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > :

bad <7451 ra< > .

: 25 . Then Laban <3837 Laban > overtook <5381 nasag > Jacob

<3290 Ya<aqob > . Now Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > had pitched <8628

taqa< > his tent <0168 >ohel > in the mount <2022 har > : and

Laban <3837 Laban > with his brethren <0251 >ach > pitched <8628

taqa< > in the mount <2022 har > of Gilead <1568 Gil<ad > .

: 26 And Laban <3837 Laban > said <0559 >amar > to Jacob <3290

Ya<aqob > , What <4100 mah > hast thou done <6213 <asah > ,

that thou hast stolen <1589 ganab > away unawares to me , and

carried <5090 nahag > away my daughters <1363 gobahh > , as

captives <7617 shabah > [ taken ] with the sword <2719 chereb

: 27 Wherefore <4100 mah > didst thou flee <1272 barach > away

secretly <2244> , and steal <1589 ganab > away from me ; and

didst not tell <5046 nagad > me , that I might have sent <7971

shalach > thee away with mirth <8057 simchah > , and with songs

<7892 shiyr > , with tabret <8596 toph > , and with harp <3658

kinnowr > ?

: 28 And hast not suffered <5203 natash > me to kiss <5401

nashaq > my sons <1121 ben > and my daughters <1363 gobahh > ?

thou hast now <6258 <attah > done foolishly <5528 cakal > in [

so ] doing <6213 <asah > .

: 29 It is in the power <0410 >el > of my hand <3027 yad > to

do <6213 <asah > you hurt <7451 ra< > : but the God <0430

>elohiym > of your father <1> spake <0559 >amar > unto me

yesternight <0570 >emesh > , saying <0559 >amar > , Take thou

heed <8104 shamar > that thou speak <1696 dabar > not to Jacob

<3290 Ya<aqob > either good <2896 towb > or <5704 <ad > bad

<7451 ra< > .

: 30 And now <6258 <attah > , [ though ] thou wouldest needs

be gone <1980 halak > , because <3588 kiy > thou sore longedst

<3700 kacaph > after thy father s <1> house <1004 bayith > , [

yet ] wherefore <4100 mah > hast thou stolen <1589 ganab > my

gods <0430 >elohiym > ?

: 31 And Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > answered <6030 <anah > and said

<0559 >amar > to Laban <3837 Laban > , Because <3588 kiy > I

was afraid <3372 yare> > : for I said <0559 >amar > ,

Peradventure <6435 pen > thou wouldest take <1497 gazal > by

force <1497 gazal > thy daughters <1363 gobahh > from me .

: 32 With whomsoever <0834 >aher > thou findest <4672 matsa> >

thy gods <0430 >elohiym > , let him not live <2421 chayah > :

before <5048 neged > our brethren <0251 >ach > discern <5234

nakar > thou what <4100 mah > [ is ] thine with me , and take

<3947 laqach > [ it ] to thee . For Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob >

knew <3045 yada< > not that Rachel <7354 Rachel > had stolen

<1589 ganab > them .

: 33 And Laban <3837 Laban > went <0935 bow> > into Jacob s

<3290 Ya<aqob > tent <0168 >ohel > , and into Leah s <3812

Le>ah > tent <0168 >ohel > , and into the two <8147 sh@nayim >

maidservants <0519 >amah > tents <0168 >ohel > ; but he found

<4672 matsa> > [ them ] not . Then went <3318 yatsa> > he out

of Leah s <3812 Le>ah > tent <0168 >ohel > , and entered <0935

bow> > into Rachel s <7354 Rachel > tent <0168 >ohel > .

: 34 Now Rachel <7354 Rachel > had taken <3947 laqach > the

images <8655 t@raphiym > , and put <7760 suwm > them in the

camel s <1581 gamal > furniture <3733 kar > , and sat <3427

yashab > upon them . And Laban <3837 Laban > searched <4959

mashash > all <3605 kol > the tent <0168 >ohel > , but found

<4672 matsa> > [ them ] not .

: 35 And she said <0559 >amar > to her father <1> , Let it not

displease <2734 charah > my lord <0113 >adown > that I cannot

rise <6965 quwm > up before <6440 paniym > thee ; for the

custom <1870 derek > of women <0802 >ishshah > [ is ] upon me .

And he searched <2664 chaphas > , but found <4672 matsa> >

not the images <8655 t@raphiym > .

: 36 . And Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > was wroth <2734 charah > ,

and chode <7378 riyb > with Laban <3837 Laban > : and Jacob

<3290 Ya<aqob > answered <6030 <anah > and said <0559 >amar > to

Laban <3837 Laban > , What <4100 mah > [ is ] my trespass

<6588 pesha< > ? what <4100 mah > [ is ] my sin <2403

chatta>ah > , that thou hast so hotly <1814 dalaq > pursued

<1814 dalaq > after <0310 >achar > me ?

: 37 Whereas <3588 kiy > thou hast searched <4959 mashash > all

<3605 kol > my stuff <3627 k@liy > , what <4100 mah > hast thou

found <4672 matsa> > of all <3605 kol > thy household <1004

bayith > stuff <3627 k@liy > ? set <7760 suwm > [ it ] here

<3541 koh > before <5048 neged > my brethren <0251 >ach > and

thy brethren <0251 >ach > , that they may judge <3198 yakach >

: 38 This <2088 zeh > twenty <6242 <esriym > years <8141 shaneh

and thy she goats <5795 <ez > have not cast <7921 shakol > their

young , and the rams <0352 >ayil > of thy flock <6629 tso>n >

have I not eaten <0398 >akal > .

: 39 That which was torn <2966 t@rephah > [ of beasts <2966

t@rephah > ] I brought <0935 bow> > not unto thee ; I bare

<2308 chadal > the loss <2398 chata> > of it ; of my hand <3027

stolen <1589 ganab > by day <3117 yowm > , or stolen <1589

ganab > by night <3915 layil > .

: 40 [ Thus ] I was ; in the day <3117 yowm > the drought

<2721 choreb > consumed <0398 >akal > me , and the frost <7140

qerach > by night <3915 layil > ; and my sleep <8142 shehah >

departed <5074 nadad > from mine eyes <5869 <ayin > .

: 41 Thus <2088 zeh > have I been twenty <6242 <esriym > years

the fear <6343 pachad > of Isaac <3327 Yitschaq > , had been

<1961 hayah > with me , surely <3588 kiy > thou hadst sent

<7971 shalach > me away now <6258 <attah > empty <7387 reyqam > .

God <0430 >elohiym > hath seen <7200 ra>ah > mine affliction

<0570 >emesh > .

: 43 . And Laban <3837 Laban > answered <6030 <anah > and said

<0559 >amar > unto Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > , [ These ]

daughters <1363 gobahh > [ are ] my daughters <1363 gobahh > ,

let us make <3772 karath > a covenant <1285 b@riyth > , I and

thou ; and let it be for a witness <5707 <ed > between <0996

: 45 And Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > took <3947 laqach > a stone <68>

they took <3947 laqach > stones <68> , and made <6213 <asah >

an heap <1530 gal > : and they did eat <0398 >akal > there <8033

<4676 matstsebah > unto me , for harm <7451 ra< > .

: 53 The God <0430 >elohiym > of Abraham <85> , and the God

: 54 Then Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > offered <2076 zabach >

Laban <3837 Laban > rose <7925 shakam > up , and kissed <5401

: 1 . And Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > went <1980 halak > on his way

<1870 derek > , and the angels <4397 mal>ak > of God <0430

Mahanaim <4266 Machanayim > .

: 3 . And Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > sent <7971 shalach >

have sojourned <1481 guwr > with Laban <3837 Laban > , and

stayed <0309 >achar > there until <5704 <ad > now <6258 <attah >

<2543 chamowr > , flocks <6629 tso>n > , and menservants <5650

<ebed > , and womenservants <8198 shiphchah > : and I have

: 6 And the messengers <4397 mal>ak > returned <7725 shuwb > to

Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > , saying <0559 >amar > , We came <0935

: 7 Then Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > was greatly <3966 m@<od > afraid

<3372 yare> > and distressed <3334 yatsar > : and he divided

<2673 chatsah > the people <5971 <am > that [ was ] with him ,

and the flocks <6629 tso>n > , and herds <1241 baqar > , and

the camels <1581 gamal > , into two <8147 sh@nayim > bands

: 9 . And Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > said <0559 >amar > , O God

of all <3605 kol > the mercies <2617 checed > , and of all

<3605 kol > the truth <0571 >emeth > , which <0834 >aher > thou

hast shewed <6213 <asah > unto thy servant <5650 <ebed > ; for

with my staff <4731 maqqel > I passed <5674 <abar > over <5674

<attah > I am become <1961 hayah > two <8147 sh@nayim > bands

: 11 Deliver <5337 natsal > me , I pray <4994 na> > thee ,

from the hand <3027 yad > of my brother <0251 >ach > , from the

hand <3027 yad > of Esau <6215 <Esav > : for I fear <3373 yare>

<5221 nakah > me , [ and ] the mother <0517 >em > with the

: 12 And thou saidst <0559 >amar > , I will surely do thee

good <3190 yatab > , and make <7760 suwm > thy seed <2233 zera<

: 13 . And he lodged <3885 luwn > there <8033 sham > that same

<1931 huw> > night <3915 layil > ; and took <3947 laqach > of

that which came <0935 bow> > to his hand <3027 yad > a present

<6499 par > , twenty <6242 <esriym > she asses <0860 >athown > ,

and ten <6235 <eser > foals <5895 <ayir > .

: 16 And he delivered <5414 nathan > [ them ] into the hand

<3027 yad > of his servants <5650 <ebed > , every drove <5739

<eder > by themselves <0905 bad > ; and said <0559 >amar > unto

his servants <5650 <ebed > , Pass <5674 <abar > over <5674

<7305 revach > betwixt <0996 beyn > drove <5739 <eder > and

drove <5739 <eder > .

: 17 And he commanded <6680 tsavah > the foremost <7223

ri>shown > , saying <0559 >amar > , When <3588 kiy > Esau

<6215 <Esav > my brother <0251 >ach > meeteth <6298 pagash >

Whose <4310 miy > [ art ] thou ? and whither <0575 >an >

goest <3212 yalak > thou ? and whose <4310 miy > [ are ]

these <0428 >el - leh > before <6440 paniym > thee ?

: 18 Then thou shalt say <0559 >amar > , [ They be ] thy

servant <5650 <ebed > Jacob s <3290 Ya<aqob > ; it [ is ] a

also <1571 gam > he [ is ] behind <0310 >achar > us .

: 19 And so <1571 gam > commanded <6680 tsavah > he the second

<3605 kol > that followed the droves <5739 <eder > , saying

<0559 >amar > , On this <2088 zeh > manner <1697 dabar > shall

ye speak <1696 dabar > unto Esau <6215 <Esav > , when ye find

<4672 matsa> > him .

: 20 And say <0559 >amar > ye moreover <1571 gam > , Behold

<2009 hinneh > , thy servant <5650 <ebed > Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob

and afterward I will see <7200 ra>ah > his face <6440 paniym > ;

peradventure <0194 >uwlay > he will accept <5375 nasa> > of me .

: 21 So went <5674 <abar > the present <4503 minchah > over

<5674 <abar > before him : and himself <1931 huw> > lodged <3885

luwn > that night <3915 layil > in the company <4264 machaneh > .

: 23 And he took <3947 laqach > them , and sent <5674 <abar >

them over <5674 <abar > the brook <5158 nachal > , and sent

<5674 <abar > over <5674 <abar > that he had .

: 24 . And Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > was left <3498 yathar > alone

<0905 bad > ; and there wrestled <79> a man <0376 >iysh > with

him until <5704 <ad > the breaking <5927 <alah > of the day

<8085 shama< > [ it ] : and the men <0582 >enowsh > were

grieved <6087 <atsab > , and they were very <3966 m@<od > wroth

<2734 charah > , because <3588 kiy > he had wrought <6213 <asah

Pharaoh <6547 Par<oh > awoke <3364 yaqats > , and , behold

<7725 shuwb > unto mine office <3653 ken > , and him he hanged

<8518 talah > .

: 14 Then Pharaoh <6547 Par<oh > sent <7971 shalach > and

called <7121 qara> > Joseph <3130 Yowceph > , and they brought

<7323 ruwts > him hastily <7323 ruwts > out of the dungeon <0953

changed <2498 chalaph > his raiment <8071 simlah > , and came

: 16 And Joseph <3130 Yowceph > answered <6030 <anah > Pharaoh

<6547 Par<oh > , saying <0559 >amar > , [ It is ] not in me :

God <0430 >elohiym > shall give Pharaoh <6547 Par<oh > an

Joseph <3130 Yowceph > , In my dream <2472 chalowm > , behold

<2009 hinneh > , I stood <5975 <amad > upon the bank <8193

<3045 yada< > that they had eaten them ; but they [ were ]

still ill <7451 ra< > favoured , as at the beginning <8462

t@chillah > . So I awoke <3364 yaqats > .

magicians <2748 chartom > ; but [ there was ] none <0369

: 25 And Joseph <3130 Yowceph > said <0559 >amar > unto Pharaoh

<6547 Par<oh > , The dream <2472 chalowm > of Pharaoh <6547

Par<oh > [ is ] one <0259 >echad > : God <0430 >elohiym > hath

shewed <5046 nagad > Pharaoh <6547 Par<oh > what he [ is ]

about to do <6213 <asah > .

: 26 The seven <7651 sheba< > good <2896 towb > kine <6510

the dream <2472 chalowm > [ is ] one <0259 >echad > .

: 27 And the seven <7651 sheba< > thin <7534 raq > and ill

<7451 ra< > favoured kine <6510 parah > that came <5927 <alah >

up after <0310 >achar > them [ are ] seven <7651 sheba< >

east <6921 qadiym > wind shall be seven <7651 sheba< > years

<8141 shaneh > of famine <7458 ra<ab > .

: 28 This [ is ] the thing <1697 dabar > which <0834 >aher >

I have spoken <1696 dabar > unto Pharaoh <6547 Par<oh > : What

<0834 >aher > God <0430 >elohiym > [ is ] about to do <6213

<asah > he sheweth <7200 ra>ah > unto Pharaoh <6547 Par<oh > .

: 29 Behold <2009 hinneh > , there come <0935 bow> > seven

plenty <7647 saba< > throughout all <3605 kol > the land <0776

: 30 And there shall arise <6965 quwm > after <0310 >achar >

ra<ab > ; and all <3605 kol > the plenty <7647 saba< > shall be

forgotten <7911 shakach > in the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt

<4714 Mitsrayim > ; and the famine <7458 ra<ab > shall consume

<3615 kalah > the land <0776 >erets > ;

yada< > in the land <0776 >erets > by reason <6440 paniym > of

that famine <7458 ra<ab > following ; for it [ shall be ]

very <3966 m@<od > grievous <3515 kabed > .

: 32 And for that the dream <2472 chalowm > was doubled <8138

shanah > unto Pharaoh <6547 Par<oh > twice <6471 pa<am > ; [

it is ] because <3588 kiy > the thing <1697 dabar > [ is ]

<0430 >elohiym > will shortly <4116 mahar > bring <6213 <asah >

it to pass <6213 <asah > .

and let him appoint <6485 paqad > officers <6496 paqiyd > over

: 35 And let them gather <6908 qabats > all <3605 kol > the

food <0400 >okel > of those <0428 >el - leh > good <2896 towb >

years <8141 shaneh > that come <0935 bow> > , and lay <6651

And they did <6213 <asah > so <3651 ken > .

: 23 And they knew <3045 yada< > not that Joseph <3130 Yowceph

by an interpreter <3887 luwts > .

wept <1058 bakah > ; and returned <7725 shuwb > to them again

<7725 shuwb > , and communed <1696 dabar > with them , and

took <3947 laqach > from them Simeon <8095 Shim<own > , and

bound <0631 >acar > him before their eyes <5869 <ayin > .

: 25 Then Joseph <3130 Yowceph > commanded <6680 tsavah > to

My money <3701 keceph > is restored <7725 shuwb > ; and , lo

<2009 hinneh > , [ it is ] even in my sack <0572 >amtachath >

every man s <0376 >iysh > bundle <6872 ts@rowr > of money

<0430 >elohiym > be gracious <2603 chanan > unto thee , my son

: 30 And Joseph <3130 Yowceph > made haste <4116 mahar > ; for

his bowels <7358 rechem > did yearn <3648 kamar > upon his

brother <0251 >ach > : and he sought <1245 baqash > [ where ]

to weep <1058 bakah > ; and he entered <0935 bow> > into [ his

himself , and said <0559 >amar > , Set <7760 suwm > on bread

<3899 lechem > .

: 32 And they set <7760 suwm > on for him by himself , and for

them by themselves <0905 bad > , and for the Egyptians <4713

Mitsriy > , which did eat <0398 >akal > with him , by

themselves <0905 bad > : because <3588 kiy > the Egyptians <4713

Mitsriy > might <3201 yakol > not eat <0398 >akal > bread <3899

lechem > with the Hebrews <5680 <Ibriy > ; for that [ is ] an

the firstborn <1060 b@kowr > according to his birthright <1062

: 34 And he took <5375 nasa> > [ and sent <7971 shalach > ]

messes <4864 mas>eth > unto them from before <6440 paniym > him :

but Benjamin s <1144 Binyamiyn > mess <4864 mas>eth > was five

<2568 chamesh > times <3027 yad > so much <7235 rabah > as any

of theirs . And they drank <8354 shathah > , and were merry

<7937 shakar > with him .

: Genesis 44

: 1 . And he commanded <6680 tsavah > the steward <5921 <al >

of his house <1004 bayith > , saying <0559 >amar > , Fill

<4390 male> > the men s <0582 >enowsh > sacks <0572 >amtachath >

every man s <0376 >iysh > money <3701 keceph > in his sack s

: 2 And put <7760 suwm > my cup <1375 g@biya< > , the silver

<3701 keceph > cup <1375 g@biya< > , in the sack s <0572

and his corn <7668 sheber > money <3701 keceph > . And he did

<6213 <asah > according to the word <1697 dabar > that Joseph

<3130 Yowceph > had spoken <1696 dabar > .

: 3 As soon as the morning <1242 boqer > was light <0216 >owr >

, the men <0582 >enowsh > were sent <7971 shalach > away ,

they and their asses <2543 chamowr > .

: 4 [ And ] when they were gone <3318 yatsa> > out of the

city <5892 <iyr > , [ and ] not [ yet ] far <7368 rachaq >

off , Joseph <3130 Yowceph > said <0559 >amar > unto his

steward <5921 <al > , Up , follow <7291 radaph > after <0310

<5381 nasag > them , say <0559 >amar > unto them , Wherefore

<4100 mah > have ye rewarded <7999 shalam > evil <7451 ra< > for

: 5 [ Is ] not this <2088 zeh > [ it ] in which <0834 >aher

indeed he divineth <5172 nachash > ? ye have done evil <7489

ra<a< > in so <0834 >aher > doing <6213 <asah > .

: 6 And he overtook <5381 nasag > them , and he spake <1696

: 7 And they said <0559 >amar > unto him , Wherefore <4100 mah

thy servants <5650 <ebed > should do <6213 <asah > according to

this <2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar > :

: 8 Behold <2005 hen > , the money <3701 keceph > , which

<0834 >aher > we found <4672 matsa> > in our sacks <0572

>amtachath > mouths <6310 peh > , we brought <7725 shuwb >

again <7725 shuwb > unto thee out of the land <0776 >erets > of

Canaan <3667 K@na<an > : how <0349 >eyk > then should we steal

<1589 ganab > out of thy lord s <0113 >adown > house <1004

bayith > silver <3701 keceph > or <0176 >ow > gold <2091 zahab >

: 9 With whomsoever <0834 >aher > of thy servants <5650 <ebed >

it be found <4672 matsa> > , both let him die <4191 muwth > ,

and we also <1571 gam > will be my lord s <0113 >adown > bondmen

<5650 <ebed > .

: 10 And he said <0559 >amar > , Now <6258 <attah > also <1571

gam > [ let ] it [ be ] according unto your words <1697

shall be my servant <5650 <ebed > ; and ye shall be blameless

<5355 naqiy > .

: 11 Then they speedily <4116 mahar > took <3381 yarad > down

<3381 yarad > every man <0376 >iysh > his sack <0572 >amtachath

every man <0376 >iysh > his sack <0572 >amtachath > .

: 12 And he searched <2664 chaphas > , [ and ] began <2490

chalal > at the eldest <1419 gadowl > , and left <3615 kalah >

at the youngest <6996 qatan > : and the cup <1375 g@biya< > was

found <4672 matsa> > in Benjamin s <1144 Binyamiyn > sack <0572

: 13 Then they rent <7167 qara< > their clothes <8071 simlah > ,

and laded <6006 <amac > every man <0376 >iysh > his ass <2543

chamowr > , and returned <7725 shuwb > to the city <5892 <iyr >

: 14 And Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > and his brethren <0251 >ach >

came <0935 bow> > to Joseph s <3130 Yowceph > house <1004 bayith

they fell <5307 naphal > before <6440 paniym > him on the ground

<0776 >erets > .

: 15 And Joseph <3130 Yowceph > said <0559 >amar > unto them ,

What <4100 mah > deed <4639 ma<aseh > [ is ] this that ye have

done <6213 <asah > ? wot <3045 yada< > ye not that such a man

<0376 >iysh > as I can certainly divine <5172 nachash > ?

: 16 And Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > said <0559 >amar > , What

<4100 mah > shall we say <0559 >amar > unto my lord <0113 >adown

<4100 mah > shall we clear <6663 tsadaq > ourselves ? God <0430

>elohiym > hath found <4672 matsa> > out the iniquity <5771

<avon > of thy servants <5650 <ebed > : behold <2009 hinneh > ,

we [ are ] my lord s <0113 >adown > servants <5650 <ebed > ,

both <1571 gam > we , and [ he ] also <1571 gam > with whom

<0834 >aher > the cup <1375 g@biya< > is found <4672 matsa> > .

: 17 And he said <0559 >amar > , God forbid <2486 chaliylah >

that I should do <6213 <asah > so <2063 zo>th > : [ but ] the

man <0376 >iysh > in whose hand <3027 yad > the cup <1375

g@biya< > is found <4672 matsa> > , he shall be my servant

<5650 <ebed > ; and as for you , get <5927 <alah > you up in

peace <7965 shalowm > unto your father <1> .

: 18 . Then Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > came <5066 nagash > near

<5066 nagash > unto him , and said <0559 >amar > , Oh <0994

biy > my lord <0113 >adown > , let thy servant <5650 <ebed > ,

I pray <4994 na> > thee , speak <1696 dabar > a word <1697

let not thine anger <0639 >aph > burn <2734 charah > against thy

servant <5650 <ebed > : for thou [ art ] even as Pharaoh <6547

Par<oh > .

: 19 My lord <0113 >adown > asked <7592 sha>al > his servants

<5650 <ebed > , saying <0559 >amar > , Have <3426 yesh > ye a

father <1> , or <0176 >ow > a brother <0251 >ach > ?

: 20 And we said <0559 >amar > unto my lord <0113 >adown > ,

We have <3426 yesh > a father <1> , an old <2208 zaqun > man

<0376 >iysh > , and a child <3206 yeled > of his old <2208

zaqun > age , a little <6966 quwm > one ; and his brother

<0251 >ach > is dead <4191 muwth > , and he alone <0905 bad >

is left <3498 yathar > of his mother <0517 >em > , and his

father <1> loveth <0157 >ahab > him .

: 21 And thou saidst <0559 >amar > unto thy servants <5650

<ebed > , Bring <3381 yarad > him down <3381 yarad > unto me ,

that I may set <7760 suwm > mine eyes <5869 <ayin > upon him .

: 22 And we said <0559 >amar > unto my lord <0113 >adown > ,

The lad <5288 na<ar > cannot leave <5800 <azab > his father <1> :

for [ if ] he should leave <5800 <azab > his father , [ his

father ] would die <4191 muwth > .

: 23 And thou saidst <0559 >amar > unto thy servants <5650

<ebed > , Except your youngest <6996 qatan > brother <0251 >ach

<7200 ra>ah > my face <6440 paniym > no <3808 lo> > more <3254

: 24 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass when <3588 kiy > we came

<5927 <alah > up unto thy servant <5650 <ebed > my father <1> ,

we told <5046 nagad > him the words <1697 dabar > of my lord

<0113 >adown > .

: 25 And our father <1> said <0559 >amar > , Go <7725 shuwb >

again <7725 shuwb > , [ and ] buy <7666 shabar > us a little

<4592 m@<at > food <0400 >okel > .

: 26 And we said <0559 >amar > , We cannot go <3381 yarad >

down <3381 yarad > : if <0518 >im > our youngest <6996 qatan >

brother <0251 >ach > be with us , then will we go <3381 yarad >

down <3381 yarad > : for we may <3201 yakol > not see <7200

<0369 >ayin > our youngest <6996 qatan > brother <0251 >ach > [

: 27 And thy servant <5650 <ebed > my father <1> said <0559

>amar > unto us , Ye know <3045 yada< > that my wife <0802

>ishshah > bare <3205 yalad > me two <8147 sh@nayim > [ sons ]

: 28 And the one <0259 >echad > went <3318 yatsa> > out from me

, and I said <0559 >amar > , Surely <0389 >ak > he is torn

<2963 taraph > in pieces ; and I saw <7200 ra>ah > him not

since <2008 hennah > :

: 29 And if <0518 >im > ye take <3947 laqach > this <2088 zeh >

also <1571 gam > from me , and mischief <0611 >acown > befall

<7136 qarah > him , ye shall bring <3381 yarad > down <3381

yarad > my gray <7872 seybah > hairs with sorrow <7451 ra< > to

the grave <7585 sh@>owl > .

: 30 Now <6258 <attah > therefore when I come <0935 bow> > to

thy servant <5650 <ebed > my father <1> , and the lad <5288

na<ar > [ be ] not with us ; seeing that his life <5315

nephesh > is bound <7194 qashar > up in the lad s <5288 na<ar >

life ;

: 31 It shall come <1961 hayah > to pass , when he seeth <7200

ra>ah > that the lad <5288 na<ar > [ is ] not [ with us ] ,

that he will die <4191 muwth > : and thy servants <5650 <ebed >

shall bring <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > the gray <7872

seybah > hairs of thy servant <5650 <ebed > our father <1> with

sorrow <3015 yagown > to the grave <7585 sh@>owl > .

: 32 For thy servant <5650 <ebed > became <6148 <arab > surety

<6148 <arab > for the lad <5288 na<ar > unto my father <1> ,

saying <0559 >amar > , If <0518 >im > I bring <0935 bow> > him

not unto thee , then I shall bear <2398 chata> > the blame

<2398 chata> > to my father <1> for ever .

: 33 Now <6258 <attah > therefore , I pray <4994 na> > thee ,

let thy servant <5650 <ebed > abide <3427 yashab > instead <8478

tachath > of the lad <5288 na<ar > a bondman <5650 <ebed > to my

lord <0113 >adown > ; and let the lad <5288 na<ar > go <5927

<alah > up with his brethren <0251 >ach > .

: 34 For how <0349 >eyk > shall I go <5927 <alah > up to my

father <1> , and the lad <5288 na<ar > [ be ] not with me ?

lest <6435 pen > peradventure I see <7200 ra>ah > the evil <7451

: Genesis 45

: 1 . Then Joseph <3130 Yowceph > could <3201 yakol > not

refrain <0662 >aphaq > himself before all <3605 kol > them that

stood <5324 natsab > by him ; and he cried <7121 qara> > ,

Cause every <3605 kol > man <0376 >iysh > to go <3318 yatsa> >

out from me . And there stood <5975 <amad > no <3808 lo> > man

<0376 >iysh > with him , while Joseph <3130 Yowceph > made

himself known <3045 yada< > unto his brethren <0251 >ach > .

: 2 And he wept aloud : and the Egyptians <4714 Mitsrayim > and

the house <1004 bayith > of Pharaoh <6547 Par<oh > heard <8085

: 3 And Joseph <3130 Yowceph > said <0559 >amar > unto his

brethren <0251 >ach > , I [ am ] Joseph <3130 Yowceph > ;

doth my father <1> yet <5750 <owd > live <2416 chay > ? And his

brethren <0251 >ach > could <3201 yakol > not answer <6030 <anah

<6440 paniym > .

: 4 And Joseph <3130 Yowceph > said <0559 >amar > unto his

brethren <0251 >ach > , Come <5066 nagash > near <5066 nagash >

to me , I pray <4994 na> > you . And they came <5066 nagash >

near <5066 nagash > . And he said <0559 >amar > , I [ am ]

Joseph <3130 Yowceph > your brother <0251 >ach > , whom <0834
