Genesis - ch 42 v 1 - 20

  1. And Jacob seeth that there is corn in Egypt, and Jacob saith to his sons, `Why do you look at each other?'
  2. he saith also, `Lo, I have heard that there is corn in Egypt, go down thither, and buy for us from thence, and we live and do not die;'
  3. and the ten brethren of Joseph go down to buy corn in Egypt,
  4. and Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob hath not sent with his brethren, for he said, `Lest mischief meet him.'
  5. And the sons of Israel come to buy in the midst of those coming, for the famine hath been in the land of Canaan,
  6. and Joseph is the ruler over the land, he who is selling to all the people of the land, and Joseph's brethren come and bow themselves to him -- face to the earth.
  7. And Joseph seeth his brethren, and discerneth them, and maketh himself strange unto them, and speaketh with them sharp things, and saith unto them, `From whence have ye come?' and they say, `From the land of Canaan -- to buy food.'
  8. And Joseph discerneth his brethren, but they have not discerned him,
  9. and Joseph remembereth the dreams which he dreamed of them, and saith unto them, `Ye `are' spies; to see the nakedness of the land ye have come.'
  10. And they say unto him, `No, my lord, but thy servants have come to buy food;
  11. we `are' all of us sons of one man, we `are' right men; thy servants have not been spies;'
  12. and he saith unto them, `No, but the nakedness of the land ye have come to see;'
  13. and they say, `Thy servants `are' twelve brethren; we `are' sons of one man in the land of Canaan, and lo, the young one `is' with our father to-day, and the one is not.'
  14. And Joseph saith unto them, `This `is' that which I have spoken unto you, saying, Ye `are' spies,
  15. by this ye are proved: Pharaoh liveth! if ye go out from this -- except by your young brother coming hither;
  16. send one of you, and let him bring your brother, and ye, remain ye bound, and let your words be proved, whether truth be with you: and if not -- Pharaoh liveth! surely ye `are' spies;'
  17. and he removeth them unto charge three days.
  18. And Joseph saith unto them on the third day, `This do and live; God I fear!
  19. if ye `are' right men, let one of your brethren be bound in the house of your ward, and ye, go, carry in corn `for' the famine of your houses,
  20. and your young brother ye bring unto me, and your words are established, and ye die not;' and they do so.
